The 20th century accounts for the safety of communities and human
settlements in northern areas of Pakistan, Ministerial Working Group (MWG) of
Ministry of Housing and Works (MOH&W) to generate Ministerial DRR based
Housing Strategy. The systematic study focuses on six major objectives deducted from
parallel guidelines from Hugo Framework of Action (HFA 2005-2015) as a standard
and reference to the commitment made by 160 such countries. The data analysis has
been conducted for these important objectives on individual basis: exploring Disaster
Risk Reduction (DRR) based guidelines; secondly to find out guiding principles from
local and global perspectives for planning standards; thirdly to identify DRR based
guidelines for safe planning and architectural designing; fourthly making community
Disaster Resilient; fifthly safeguarding our culture and structures in villages, towns,
cities & regions and finally to establish hierarchy of DRR Units to safeguard housing
schemes and projects through DRR strategies and experts. The research paper
outlines the respective objectives and strategic approaches to Disaster Risk Reduction
(DRR) and resilience within the broader frame to achieve safety for better life in the
spectrums of social, economic cultural and environmental aspects within the
commitments of HFA. Concrete actions taken at national and ministerial levels
through National Engineering Services in Pakistan (NESPAK) and MOH&W have
been appreciated but at the same time gaps are identified regarding Architectural
