Habitat for Humanity Malawi is engaging Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Climate Change to move the government to finalize and enact the Disaster Risk management Bill.

When disaster strikes, housing is the most affected social sector. Every year Malawi continues to mobilize resources to respond to the effects of disaster yet we know the most sustainable way is for the government to redirect the focus from disaster response to disaster risk reduction. The effects of disasters can be reduced if Malawi can invest in Disaster Risk Reduction. For Malawi to effectively do this, we need to amend the current Disaster Preparedness and Relief Act of 1991.
