11. 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
