3. Introduction
• Afghanistan is severely and continuously facing
threats and natural hazards such as earthquakes,
floods, floods caused by rains, landslides, snow
drifts, droughts and other incidents. In addition, this
country has faced severe accidents caused by
human activities, which result in loss of lives,
livelihood and finances. Since 1980, more than
20,000 people have been affected by natural
disasters in this country and more than 20,000
people have been killed. The evolution of the
disaster management system for Afghanistan dates
back to 1973.

4. Sendai framework:
• The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction (SFDRR)(2015-2030) was a
fifteen-year voluntary and non-binding
agreement, and it specifies that the
government has the main role in disaster
risk reduction and this responsibility
should be shared with other partners. The
inclusion of the private sector should be
included. The Sendai framework for
disaster risk reduction was adopted by the
United Nations member states at the Third
International Conference on Disaster Risk
Reduction (WCDRR) in Sendai, Japan,
and approved by the United Nations
General Assembly.

5. National Administration of Natural Disaster Management in Afghanistan
(ANDMA):
• The primary actors of incident management are government, provincial
and field offices. That there is an organizational mechanism at the
provincial level in the structural form of the Provincial Disaster
Management Committee (PDMC). This committee fulfills the dignity of
the leading office on behalf of the government in matters related to the
management and reduction of the risk of accidents at the provincial
level. This committee is led by the governor and mobilizes the United
Nations departments, international non-governmental organizations,
domestic non-governmental organizations and other active partners at
the provincial level who are involved in it.

10. Risk reduction plan
• Kapisa is exposed to a high rate of natural disasters such as earthquakes,
floods, droughts and bad weather conditions. Management and suitable
solutions for flood management in Kapisa province can be done from
construction methods (construction of flood dams, check dam buildings,
fortifications of river shores and canals), Revitalization of the green area,
development of forests and vegetation, public awareness, installation of
sensors and flood warning devices, and public awareness through and
associations of water users.

11. Prepare and respond
• While governments have the overall responsibility of
risk tolerance and non-governmental stakeholders also
play an important role as an enabler to provide
assistance to governments at the local and national
levels by increasing public awareness and creating a
culture of prevention and education in the field of risk
tolerance of communities to manage the risk of all.
• The presence of women and their participation is vital
for the effective management of vulnerability, provision
of resources and the implementation of vulnerability
reduction plans and programs, taking gender into
account, and provides sufficient capacity building
measures in the field of preparedness.

12. Objectives and local actions
• Preventing the risk of new disasters and reducing the risk of existing disasters
with the integrated implementation and comprehensive economic, structural,
legal, social, health, cultural, educational, environmental, technological,
political and institutional measures that reduce exposure to risk and
vulnerability in against disasters, increasing preparedness against disasters and

13. Coordination and arrangements to reduce flood risk in KBS
• Despite the fact that Kapisa is on the
list of the most vulnerable provinces to
the harmful effects of climate change,
climate change has not been considered
in the national and sectoral plans of the
government at the provincial level.
This could mean launching a
cooperation program with universities
and other departments and starting joint
research projects on the possible effects
of climate change and adaptive
measures in the most vulnerable sectors
in Kapisa province.
