The ten-year plan served as the main policy guidance for countries to develop policies on disaster risk reduction.</p> <p class="undefined ">Building on this process, “<a href="/implementing-sendai-framework/what-sendai-framework">The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030</a>" was adopted as the HFA’s successor at the <a href="https://www.preventionweb.net/news/summary-third-un-world-conference-disaster-risk-reduction-wcdrr-saturday-21-march-2015">Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction</a> (WCDRR), held in Sendai in March 2015. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading ">UNDRR Kobe Office</h2> <p class="undefined ">The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction first established its office in Japan in October 2007 in Kobe City located in Hyogo, Japan.
