The Comprehensive Hazard and Risk Management (CHARM) Guidelines provide a structured, regionally adapted framework for integrating disaster risk reduction into national development planning across Pacific Island Countries. Developed under the SOPAC Disaster Management Unit, CHARM promotes an “all-hazards” and whole-of-country approach to risk governance, addressing natural, human-induced, technological, and environmental hazards within a unified system. The framework is aligned with internationally recognised risk management standards (AS/NZS 4360) and supports the systematic identification, analysis, evaluation, and treatment of risks through a five-step process.
