In the past five years, ODA allocated to DRR increased from about USD 270 million in 2007 to USD 820 million in 2012 (OECD, 2014). Although funding for risk reduction is increasing, it remains substantially less than that allocated to addressing the consequences of disasters. Between 2010 and 2012, for every USD 1 allocated to DRR there were USD 19 allocated to emergency response, reconstruction and relief.
