7 Institutionalizing Frameworks for Disaster Management Growing decisive action at the regional level Evolution from improvisation and largely adhoc response to systematic disaster preparedness and response (1960s-1990s) Dedicated and more advanced disaster management institutions at the regional and national levels (CDERA,1991/CDEMA, 2009 and NDOs) Movement towards and adoption of Comprehensive Disaster Management (Strategy and Results Framework developed 2001, revised in 2006) 7
8 THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF THE CARIBBEAN DISASTER EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (CDEMA) 8
9 Overview of CDEMA CDEMA (formally CDERA) is the regional inter-governmental Agency responsible for disaster management in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) CDERA established in 1991 by an Agreement of Heads of Government of CARICOM September 1, 2009 official date of transition from CDERA to CDEMA 18 Participating States with others as observers 9
10 CDEMA Map Overview of CDEMA CDEMA (formally CDERA) is a regional intergovernmental Agency responsible for disaster management in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) CDERA established in 1991 by an Agreement of Heads of Government of CARICOM September 1, 2009 official date of transition from CDERA to CDEMA 18 Participating States with others as observers CARILEC 2010 SAFETY CONFERENCE,SAINT VINCENT & THE GRENADINES 10
11 CDEMA Structure International Agencies Regional Agencies Council of Ministers National Governments Technical Advisory Committee Coordinating Unit National Disaster Offices Executive Director Deputy E.D. CDEMA CU Staff 11
12 Background CDEMA is established on principles of inter-governmental cooperation A number of small states with large vulnerabilities and limited individual capacity Rationalizing diverse actions towards a common goal was central to operationalizing the Agreement 12
13 CDEMA s Functions (a) mobilising and coordinating disaster relief; (b) mitigating or eliminating, as far as practicable, the immediate consequences of disasters in Participating States; (c) providing immediate and coordinated response by means of emergency disaster relief to any affected Participating State; (d) securing, coordinating and providing to interested inter-governmental and nongovernmental organisations reliable and comprehensive information on disasters affecting any Participating State; 13
14 CDEMA s Functions (cont d) (e) encouraging (i) the adoption of disaster loss reduction and mitigation policies and practices at the national and regional level; (ii) cooperative arrangements and mechanisms to facilitate the development of a culture of disaster loss reduction; and (iii) coordinating the establishment, enhancement and maintenance of adequate emergency disaster response capabilities among the Participating States. 14
15 CDM A REGIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR COOPERATION AND RESOURCE SHARING IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT 15
16 What is Comprehensive Disaster Management? Comprehensive Disaster Management (CDM) is the management of all hazards through all phases of the disaster management cycle prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery and rehabilitation by all peoples public and private sectors, all segments of civil society and the general population in hazard prone areas. CDM involves risk reduction & management and integration of vulnerability assessment into the development planning process. (CDERA 2001, 2006) 16
17 CDM A Paradigm Shift Reactive Disaster Office Anticipatory Shared Responsibility FROM: a focus on individual hazards TO: viewing hazard exposure as an ongoing process and aims to reduce vulnerability across all sectors (CGCED 2002) 17
18 CDM in Context Global and Regional Agendas: Hyogo Framework for Action CARICOM Regional Programming Framework Caribbean Single Market and Economy St. George s Declaration of Principles for Environmental Sustainability (Organization of Eastern Caribbean States) 18
19 CDM Benefits A regional framework for disaster management: Emphasizes natural hazard risk reduction Promotes a culture of safety Recognizes that strengthening disaster preparedness for better response is critical Encourages strategic partner alliances Advocates for empowering of sector partners to (take responsibility) and lead dissemination and advocacy with their constituency 19
20 Partnerships for Risk Reduction: A Key Pillar of CDM Since its inception, CDEMA has pursued a policy of collaboration with national, regional and international organisations which have overlapping interests Minimises duplication Ensures more rational use of the limited resources available to the region Ensures that technical assistance provided is of the highest quality as each agency is allowed to take the lead in the area where it has specific technical expertise 20

31 No State, no matter how powerful, can by its own efforts alone make itself invulnerable to today s threats. Every State requires the cooperation of other States to make itself secure. It is in every State s interest, accordingly, to cooperate with other States to address their most pressing threats, because doing so will maximize the chances of reciprocal cooperation to address its own threat priorities. (Report of United Nations High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change December 2004 A More Secure World: Our Shared Responsibility.) 31
32 Response Operations in CDEMA Participating States The Regional Response Mechanism (RRM) is an arrangement for the coordination of disaster response among CDEMA Participating States, Regional and International Agencies Seeks to deliver speedy response and effective and efficient use and management of resources Tried and tested mechanism for emergency coordination familiarity of actors and processes. 32
33 The Regional Response Mechanism: An Overview The RRM is: A number of Plans, Procedures & Guidelines A group of Response Units, agencies and organizations A collection of Agreements, Memorandum of Understanding and Protocols Executed by the CDEMA Coordinated Unit on behalf of CDEMA Participating States 33
34 Components of the Regional Response Mechanism The Regional Coordination Centre (RCC) The Regional Coordination Plan (RCP) The Regional Telecommunications Plan Response Teams The CARICOM Disaster Relief Unit (CDRU) The Rapid Needs Assessment Team (RNAT) The Regional Urban Search & Rescue Light Level Team (USAR LL) The Eastern Caribbean Donor Group (ECDG) The North Western Caribbean Donor Group (NWCDG) National Disaster Plans, Specialized Plans, etc. Regional Warehouses MOU, Acts, SOPs 34
35 The Regional Response Mechanism 35
36 Coordination of the RRM CDEMA CU coordinates the Regional Response Mechanism (RRM) in the Caribbean CDEMA CU is the focal point for effecting the plan with the support of other partners (donors, specialized agencies etc.) CDEMA CU solicits assistance on behalf of and for its 18 Participating States Response philosophy: CDEMA's response to natural and technological disasters will be dictated by the type, magnitude and complexity of the emergency and by the Participating State(s) capacity to respond 36
37 Triggering the Mechanism The Regional Coordination Plan defines the framework for effecting the multi-lateral agreements of CDERA PS to assist each other in times of disasters Organised in 2 Parts: Basic Plan: triggering mechanism for activating plan (3 levels) and concept of operations Functional Annexes: SOPs for specific response functions (SAR) or specialized groups (ECDG, CDRU); References (CDERA Agreement, MOU) The RCP is in support of National Plans and as such the National Plans must make provisions for triggering the RRM System based on a three tiered response mechanism 37
38 Levels of Response LEVEL I - Local Incident - no external assistance required An incident at the local level in any of CDEMA Participating States for which resources are adequate and available CDEMA CU monitoring and information sharing 38
39 Levels of Response Cont d LEVEL II- Specialized Equipment and Experts Event does not overwhelm national capacity to respond but some external assistance required (e.g. Andrew Bahamas, Debby - St Lucia, 1994, Keith - Belize, 2000, Dean Jamaica, 2007) State of emergency may or may not be declared CDEMA CU provides technical assistance, specialized equipment, support personnel 39
40 Levels of Response Cont d LEVEL III Support Required Event overwhelms capacity of affected State to respond. Major external operation mounted. Possible request for additional support from other regions and international agencies anticipated (Hurricanes Gilbert Jamaica, 1988, Hugo Montserrat, 1989, Lenny 7 Eastern Caribbean Countries, 1999, Ivan Grenada, 2004) 40
41 Response Teams Regional USAR LL Team The CDRU for 2009/
42 Regional USAR LL Team Training 42
43 EXERCISE FAHUM 2009 This allowed CDERA the opportunity to deploy the CDRU, the Regional SAR Team & the Rapid Needs Assessment Team to the impacted state during the Exercise 43
44 The Way Forward CDEMA CU will continue to: Act as a hub for information, consultation and coordination for the region Provide Participating States and regional/international partners with a focal point for coordination Conduct regional simulation/tests (FAHUM, TradeWinds, Region Rap) with key regional, intra-regional and international actors 44
