6 Village Development Plan has not considered the disaster risk in developing strategies and Action Plans There is a close linkages between Disaster and Development 6

7 Development Realm Negative Realm Development Can Increase Vulnerability Disasters can set back Development Development can reduce vulnerability Disaster can provide development opportunities Positive Realm + Disaster Realm Community Based Disaster Risk Management... A process in which risk communities are actively engaged in the; identification, analysis, evaluation of disaster risks in order to reduce their vulnerabilities and enhance their capacity treatment, develop village level preparedness plans monitoring 7

8 CBDRM involves. Enhance the understanding of risk of vulnerable communities Appoint Village Disaster Management Committee and sub Committees Develop hazard maps Identify hazard prone areas and safe locations Conduct evacuation drills 8

9 CBDRM empower communities to take decision on behalf of them and consider them as a resource and not as victims Why a new approach? Humanitarian effort focuses on disaster preparedness, responses and recovery Number of extensive Disaster events are increasing and disaster losses and damages are substantial. Disaster risk is not a standalone approach rather unsolved problems of development & governance Disaster Management cannot addressed in a single entry rather it should be address more holistically as a part of long term development process Further community frameworks should be resilient to disasters and local development should support the capacity enhancement to absorb the shocks and recover. 9

10 Disaster Resilience Definitions Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) The capacity of system, community or society potentially exposed to hazard, adopt by resisting or changing, in order to react and maintain an acceptable level of functioning of structure. Capacity to absorb shocks and bounce back How much change can a forest take before it becomes different? 10

11 Conceptual Framework for Disaster Resilience Sub System in the system, Community, society Human Sub System Social Sub System Environmental Sub System Economic Sub System Physical Sub System 11

12 Physical subsystem Constructions follow standards and land-use practices minimize risk Infrastructure is adequate to allow communities to access basic needs before, during and after emergencies 12

13 The resilience approach is in part about bridging risk reduction into development. pola Human Sub system Individuals are having appropriate risk coping strategies and adaptation methods for possible climate change impacts Individuals are healthy and prepared for emergencies and are well informed about potential hazards 13

14 Social Sub-system Social networking and civic contribution of a community is in place with common understanding of potential risks Social safety nets are available and support is guaranteed during emergencies to prevent escalation of risk Environment sub-system Policy, legal and institutional support is available and is used to maintain environmental equilibrium Development planning follows conservation principles so that risk is minimized due to protection of the environment 14

15 Economic Sub-system Communities are having adequate resources i.e. financial and physical, to cope with shocks and are with risk transferring mechanisms Divisional level plans are in place to regulate markets and sustain the value chain following a shock The resilience approach is in part about bringing risk reduction into development Physical subsystem Constructions follow standards and land-use practices minimize risk Infrastructure is adequate to allow communities to access basic needs before, during and after emergencies 15

16 Cross cutting sub sector Multiple stakeholders at divisional level are well aware of their role of DRR and contribute to strategic planning on community resilience Emergency response plans are in place with humanitarian standards and ensure rights of different groups with adequate resources for immediate dispatch and deployment Risk Knowledge complement local and traditional knowledge with the results of scientific research Enhance risk knowledge of communities 16
