缅甸是一个处于政治经济转型期的国家。面对各种各样的自然灾害和持续不断的冲突，该国欠发达的基础设施导致了高灾害风险。2008年纳尔吉斯强热带风暴造成严重破坏后，全球更加重视灾害管理和减少风险，缅甸已开始制定国家灾害政策。缅甸的《减少灾害风险行动计划》涉及灾害发展的多个阶段，并在国家项目方面取得了进展，然而，在实施以社区为基础的备灾和应对举措方面却举步维艰。本文通过使用灾害发展框架分析了缅甸的灾害战略，并提出了可能改进的领域。特别是，本文旨在产生关于支持发展中国家减少风险倡议的客观评估方法的讨论。（灾害医学公共卫生准备，2018;12:42 - 426）
Abstract Myanmar is a country in political and economic transition. Facing a wide-variety of natural hazards and ongoing conflict, the country’s under-developed infrastructure has resulted in high disaster risk. Following the devastation of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 and increased global focus on disaster management and risk reduction, Myanmar has begun development of national disaster policies. Myanmar’s Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction addressed multiple stages of disaster development and has made progress towards national projects, however, has struggled to implement community-based preparedness and response initiatives. This article analyses Myanmar’s disaster strategy, though the use of a disaster development framework and suggests areas for possible improvement. In particular, the article aims to generate discussion regarding methods of supporting objective evaluation of risk reduction initiatives in developing countries.
