  The Symposium is structured to bring together the outputs and outcomes from keynote addresses, technical papers and presentations, and thematic events, and culminate in the endorsement of a roadmap for disaster risk reduction in Sri Lanka. This roadmap will set out national priorities and potential timescales for their adoption, as well as a declaration among key stakeholders to act upon those priorities. The roadmap will be setup to inform national policies and strategies in Sri Lanka.
