Unit 5: Lesson 1 – Disaster Risk

Reduction and Management


Marjorie E. Vidal, LPT.
Paradigm Shift: From Emergency Management to
Disaster Risk Reduction

Emergency Management : D = H

Disaster Preparedness : D = H + Unpreparedness

D=HxV/C

D=HxVxE/C
Disaster Management

DEVELOPMENT
Citizenry-Based and Development-Oriented Disaster
Response (CBDO-DR)

1. It raises a question of vulnerability when it comes


to disasters.

2. It recognizes people’s existing capacities and aims to


strengthen them.

3. It contributes to addressing the roots of


vulnerabilities and to transforming or removing the
structures generating inequity and underdevelopment.

4. It considers people’s participation essential to disaster


management.
Citizenry-Based and Development-Oriented Disaster
Response (CBDO-DR)

5. It puts a premium on the organizational capacity of the


vulnerable sectors through the formation of grassroots disaster
response organization.

6. It mobilizes the less vulnerable sectors into partnerships with


the vulnerable sectors in disaster management and development
work (Heijmans and Victoria 2001:10-14)
Disaster Risk = H x V x E / C

Disaster Risk – is the probability of injury, loss of life, damage to property,


disruption of services and activities and negative effects (Jerillos 1999:9-12)

Disaster Risk Management – is the systematic process of using


administrative decisions, organization, operational skills and capacities to
implement policies, strategies, coping mechanisms of the society and
communities to lessen the impact of natural hazards and related environmental
and technological disasters.

Disaster Risk Reduction – is the conceptual framework of elements


considered with the possibilities to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster
risks throughout a society
Disaster Risk Reduction Model

DEVELOPMENT
Disaster Risk Management Process

Prevention – activities to provide outright avoidance


of the adverse impact of hazards and means to
minimize related environmental, technological and
biological disaster.

Mitigation – structural and non-structural measures


undertaken to limit the adverse impact of natural
hazards, environmental degradation and technological
hazards.
Disaster Risk Management Process

Preparedness – pre-disaster activities that are


undertaken within the context of disaster risk
management and are based on sound risk analysis.

Relief/Response – the provision of assistance or


intervention during or immediately after a disaster to
meet life preservation and to meet basic subsistence
needs of those people affected.
Disaster Risk Management Process

Recovery – decisions and actions taken after a disaster with a


view to restoring or improving the pre- disaster living conditions
of the stricken community, while encouraging and facilitating
necessary adjustments to reduce disaster risk.

Development Planning Process – proactive actions that allow


national, sectoral, regional or local government and its partners to
support and engage the intellectual, physical and economic
resources to chart a course toward a desired future of
development related on each level.
The Hyogo Framework for Action Guiding
Principles

1. States are primarily responsible for implementing measures


to reduce disaster risk.
2. DRR must be integrated into development activities
3. A multi-hazard approach can improve effectiveness.
4. Capacity development is a central strategy for reducing
disaster risk.
5. Decentralize responsibility for disaster risk reduction.
The Hyogo Framework for Action Guiding
Principles

6. Effective disaster risk reduction require community


participation.
7. Gender is a core factor in disaster risk and in the
implementation of disaster risk reduction.
8. Public-private partnerships are an important tool for disaster
risk reduction.
9. Disaster risk reduction needs to be customized to particular
settings.
HFA Goals

1. Integration of DRR into sustainable development policies and


planning.

2. Development and strengthening of institutions, mechanisms


and capabilities to build resilience to hazards.

3. Systematic incorporation of risk reduction approaches into the


implementation of emergency preparedness, response and
recovery programs.
Priority Actions
1. Ensure that DRR is a national and a local priority with strong
institutional basis for implementation.

2. Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and enhance early


warning.

3. Use knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture


of safety and resilience at all levels.

4. Reduce the underlying risk factors.

5. Strengthen disaster preparedness for effective responses at all


levels.
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reductions 2015-2030

Seven Global Targets

a. Substantially reduce global disaster mortality by 2030,


aiming to lower average per 100,000 global mortality rate
in the decade 2020-2030 compared to the period 2005-
2015.

b. Substantially reduce the number of affected people


globally by 2030, aiming to lower average global figure
per 100,000 in the decade 2020-2030 compared to the period
2005-2015.
Seven Global Targets

c. Reduce direct disaster economic loss in relation to global


gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030.

d. Substantially reduce disaster damage to critical


infrastructure and prevent the disruption of basic services
such as health and education by developing resilience by
2030.

e. Substantially increase the number of countries with


national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020.
Seven Global Targets

f. Substantially enhance international cooperation among


developing countries through adequate and sustainable support
to complement their national actions for implementation of
this Framework by 2030.

g. Substantially increase the availability of and access to multi-


hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information
and assessments to the people by 2030.
The Four Priorities for Actions

Priority 1 . Understanding disaster risk


Priority 2. Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage
disaster risk
Priority 3. Investing in disaster risk governance to mange
disaster risk
Priority 4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective
response and to “Build Back Better” recovery, rehabilitation
and reconstruction.
