Disaster Risk management (DRM) and Disaster Risk reduction (DRR) although used interchangeably, DRM can be thought of as the implementation of DRR, since it describes the actions that aim to achieve the objective of reducing risks. DRM is in fact an operationalization of DRR.
Although there is a global framework and intensive international activities for several decades, the academic, professional and political public is indisputable that these concepts are being developed at the regional, national and most importantly - local level. The local context and capacity to identify and manage risks in order to function as a resilient community is of critical importance. The questions are elaborated theoretically, but also the elements of these systems (Crises Management System and Disaster Risk Reduction) in North Macedonia are presented.
Overall, along with Environmental protection these concepts contribute for achieving the overall objective for Sustainable Development, defined as Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
North Macedonia on declarative and normative level is following most of the important Standards and has incorporate them on national level. This is also in the case being member of every relevant body in the International Community as active member.
