The Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 (HFA) included the
following measure of commitment to and success of national risk
reduction:


Integrate disaster risk reduction planning into the health sector;
promote the goal of “hospitals safe from disaster” by ensuring
that all new hospitals are built with a level of resilience that
strengthens their capacity to remain functional in disaster
situations and implement mitigation measures to reinforce existing
health facilities, particularly those providing primary health care.
