Peru has a National Civil Defense System (SINADECI) that coordinates disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts. The National Institute of Civil Defense (INDECI) leads SINADECI and implements the National Plan for Disaster Prevention and Response. Key aspects of Peru's DRR system include its legal framework, institutional structures at national and sub-national levels, and sectoral incorporation of DRR into policies. Regional cooperation on DRR occurs through participation in initiatives like the Andean Strategy. Strengths include participation of all sectors in SINADECI, while weaknesses include need for improved coordination between actors and implementation of DRR plans.
