The Government’s commitment to disaster risk reduction dates back to 1983.
In the aftermath of the Popayan earthquake, the Government initiated the creation of
a system for disaster preparedness and response.
In 1989, the Government established the National System for Disaster Management
and Prevention (Sistema Nacional para la Prevención y Atención de Desastres) (SNPAD)
Since the mid-1990s, Colombia has moved from disaster response towards disaster
risk management by:
(i) strengthening actions in disaster risk prevention and mitigation;
(ii) reducing fiscal vulnerability to natural hazards;
(iii)improving land use planning
