first losses are a factor of the severity and frequency of hazards as well as a factor of the reduction in vulnerability some indicators could show a decrease in losses because an extreme weather event eg storm has not hit a country that particular year for instance a reduction in losses could also be due to the implementation of disaster risk reduction or adaptation policies or of a nearmiss namely an extreme weather event narrowly missing a country s vulnerability hotspots furthermore as the definition given in the sendai framework of disasters encompasses both manmade and natural events the first set of indicators relating to the outcomes of disaster risk reduction could only relate to climate change adaptation provided they are disaggregated by disaster type to focus on climaterelated natural disasters table a second set of indicators relating to the enabling environment for and the implementation of disaster risk reduction policies broadly support climate adaption objectives although they relate to more specifically to current vulnerability table
