IDNDR
The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) declared the 1990’s as the IDNDR (International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction). Its basic objective was to decrease the loss of life, property destruction and social and economic disruption caused by natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, droughts, locust infestations, and other disasters of natural origin.
