Law 1523/2012 seeks for hazard information and disaster risk assessments to inform disaster risk management decisions, in particular in land-use planning (as also required by the land-use Laws 388/1997 and 1454/2011, and the seismic code). Results from the OECD survey show that many stakeholders in Colombia use the available hazard and disaster risk information in policy making (Figure 4.3). Many respondents noted that the available evidence base is used to guide resource allocation for disaster preparedness, or for planning and prioritising ex ante measures. However, Figure 4.3 also illustrates that there may be scope for further reinforcing the integration of hazard information in land-use planning and building code development. The Ministry of Housing, City and Territory is providing technical support to 250 municipalities on this (DNP, 2014).
