Methodological sheet of the indicator available for the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.

Available indicator

Proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies
Target

1.5 By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters
Goal

1- End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Definition

Percentage of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies through provincial emergency plans and municipal emergency plans
Theoretical formula

Percentage of municipalities that have a municipal emergency plan

\[PMUN_{DRR\, municipal}^{t} = \frac{MUN_{DRR\, municipal}^{t}}{MUN^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$MUN_{DRR\, municipal}^{t} =$ number of local governments with municipal emergency plans in the year $t$

$MUN^{t} =$ number of local governments in the year $t$


Percentage of municipalities covered by a provincial emergency plan

\[PMUN_{DRR\, provincial}^{t} = \frac{MUN_{DRR\, provincial}^{t}}{MUN^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$MUN_{DDR\, provincial}^{t} =$ number of local governments with provincial emergency plans in the year $t$

$MUN^{t} =$ number of local governments in the year $t$

Observations

In the Basque Country, according to the Basque Civil Protection Plan (LABI), municipalities with a population of over 20,000 must prepare and approve municipal emergency plans (PEM).

For municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants, in accordance with the state regulations governing the Bases of the Local Government, this guideline is recommendatory. In 2024, 96% of municipalities with 5,000 to 20,000 inhabitants and 25% of municipalities with 1,000 to 5,000 inhabitants have an approved Municipal Emergency Plan.

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted by UN Member States in March 2015 as a global policy of disaster risk reduction. The expected outcome of the Sendai Framework is to realize “The substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries”.

Among the Sendai Framework global targets, “Target E: Substantially increase the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020” aims to enhance the global progress and coverage of national and local disaster risk reduction strategies and policies.

The objectives of the national DRR plans, strategies and policies are to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risk through the implementation of integrated and inclusive economic, structural, legal, social, health, cultural, educational, environmental, technological, political and institutional measures that prevent and reduce hazard exposure and vulnerability to disaster, increase preparedness for response and recovery, and thus strengthen resilience.

Increasing the proportion of local governments that adopt and implement local disaster risk reduction strategies, which the Sendai Framework calls for, will contribute to sustainable development and strengthen economic, social, health and environmental resilience.
