2. Seven Gap Areas
GA 1 Mainstreaming NMHS and their technical capacities in the national disaster risk management and development planning and legislation
GA 2 Strengthening capacities for hazard monitoring, maintenance of standardized databases, and methodologies for hazard analysis in support of risk management applications
GA 3 Strengthening capacities for end-to-end operational hazard early detection and warnings supported by strong governance, organizational and operational capacities
GA 4 Strengthening capacities for provision of meteorological services in support of pre- and post-disaster emergency response and relief operations
GA 5 Facilitation of partnerships among NMHSs and other key national agencies for a more coordinated approach to DRM

3. Five Priority Areas of HFA (Doc 7.0)
Governance: organizational, legal and policy frameworks
Risk identification, assessment, monitoring and early warning
Knowledge management and education
Reducing underlying risk factors
Preparedness for effective response and recovery
