Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:
The Asian Regional Plan for Implementation of the Sendai Framework focuses on the "How to" reduce disaster risk at national and local levels. The Asia Regional Plan seeks to guide and support the national implementation of the Sendai Framework, but is not a replacement of national plans.

This regional plan aims to provide:

  • Broad policy direction to guide the implementation of the Sendai Framework in the context of the 2030 sustainable development agendas in the region;
  • Long term road map, spanning the 15-year horizon of the Sendai Framework outlining a chronological pathway for implementation of priorities to achieve seven global targets;
  • Two-year action plan with specific activities that are prioritized based on the long term road map and in line with the policy direction.
