In the medium term, the bulk of disaster risk management responsibilities and resources will be handled by the regional, provincial, and district governments. Since decentralization is still in early stages, it is imperative to bolster the institutional capacity of these various levels of government through technical assistance. Monitoring systems and information technology tools need to be scaled up to provide the requisite knowledge to support subnational governments and relevant sectors. It is critical for Peru to ensure that subnational governments have the appropriate technological tools and mechanisms to generate, manage, and access hazard and risk information pertinent to their particular needs. The Comprehensive Approach for Probabilistic Risk Assessment (CAPRA) platform can be very useful at this juncture.  رؤية أقل ـ
