This Framework uses community-based tools and approaches to establish and manage protected/conservation areas. It provides for the establishment and management of protected/conservation areas, including ecosystem-based adaptation methods such as conserving reefs, coasts and terrestrial ecosystems that buffer atolls against sea-level rise and climate impacts.
A Local Resource Committee (LRC) is first established by the municipal government to oversee the development of the resource management plan in that atoll. The LRC consists of representatives from the local government, traditional leadership, church leadership, men and women’s groups, youth, elderly and persons with disabilities. The plan is then developed with the community. The Coastal Management Advisory Council (CMAC) provides counsel, reviews project proposals and carries out relevant activities based on the Reimaanlok process.

This Act lays down provisions on the establishment and duties of the National Disaster Council, National Emergency Operations Committee, Recovery Coordination Committee, Disaster Resilience Committee, Clusters, Local government disaster committees, National Disaster Management Office, Disaster Coordinator and the National Emergency Operations Center. It also sets out rules as regards disaster planning at the national and local levels; declaration of state of disaster by executive orders; establishment and utilization of the Disaster Assistance Account; offences and penalties; and public cooperation to successfully prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
The objectives of this Act are:
<ul>
<li>to establish an institutional structure for the delivery of disaster management and climate and disaster risk reduction measures throughout the Republic, including by promoting cooperation between the government agencies, and with local governments, non-governmental organizations and the private sector;</li>
