10. © World Meteorological Organization For Consideration of PTC 2014 DRAFT TOR of DRR FP TC-TP (Doc 4.2(2), Annex I) The DRR Focal Points of Technical Commissions (TCs) and Technical Programmes (TPs) (DRR FP TC-TP) have been established during the inter-sessional period of 2012-2015, to serve the following Terms of Reference: (1) Review on a regular basis the intra- and inter-commission and programme activities and identify those relevant to supporting the implementation of the DRR Work plan (2012- 2015); (2) Participate in the DRR UI-EAGs and recommend priorities of action, and coordinated projects and work plans (including suggestions for budget requirements) for leveraging relevant activities of WMO TCs and TPs to support the implementation of the WMO DRR Work Plan 2012-2015. Submit these recommendations for consideration by Presidents of Technical Commissions (PTC); (3) Propose and manage multi-disciplinary Task Team(s) to support the implementation of coordinated projects that address priority issues of the WMO DRR Work-Plan (2012- 2015); (4)The co-chairs consult as necessary with PTC and the individual members with their respective TPs, and the Management Groups of TCs and other cross cutting groups; (5) To achieve the above, the DRR FP TC-TP meets annually (supported by the WMO DRR Programme budget) and as needed virtually via WEBEX/videoconference
