Steps in the Framework:

Community engagement: get the community opinions of their vulnerabilities and how they are perceived and prioritized. The Papa New Guinea meeting were held with community elders, then the council all in hopes of conforming to local tradition and adding trust and legitimacy to the process gaining local support.
Identify vulnerability factors: Extrinsic and Intrinsic (resulting from extrinsic) factors need to be identified. support and assist a community in knowing their vulnerabilities adding to DRR. Once the factors have been identified a pair-wise comparison was undertaken to rank factors in order of their contribution to the vulnerability of the population.
Identify useful scientific & indigenous strategy: its a process of assessing the knowledge and solutions available and reaching a consensus of suitable technique in order to reduce disaster risk. The population must discover on its own essentially, researchers and other stakeholders must only guide them.
Finalize an integrated strategy: the community develops a new strategy, constant revision and evaluation is necessary to deal with the changing nature of hazards and continued reduction of vulnerability.
