The figure below uses geographically granular data to show the progress on local strategy adoption for 33 ADB member economies with available data. Analysis of the figure suggests that 18 of the reporting economies had at least 70% of local governments with tailored DRR strategies. Conversely, seven economies had only 20% of local governments with their own DRR strategies.
