It also outlines the role of the ISDR system.

The ISDR system refers to the Inter-Agency Task Force on Disaster Reduction (IATF/DR), the ISDR secretariat, in addition to national platforms, thematic platforms and networks, disaster reduction experts and regional constituencies and programmes (sometimes referred to as "ISDR regional platforms").
