Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 3 3

Disaster a sudden event, such as an accident or a natural catastrophe, that causes great damage or loss of life. an event or fact that has unfortunate consequences. A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 4

There is no such thing as a 'natural' disaster, only natural hazards. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) aims to reduce the damage caused by natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones, through an ethic of prevention. Disasters often follow natural hazards. (UNISDR) Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 6

Disaster Risk The potential disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets and services, which could occur to a particular community or a society over some specified future time period. A probability or threat of damage, injury, liability, loss, or any other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities, and that may be avoided through preemptive action.

Disaster Hazard Exposure Vulnerability Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 12 12

Hazard A dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. Hydrometeorological hazard Process or phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.

Probability and Intensity of Hazards The chance of something happening (or not happening) For natural hazards, measured in return period Frequent events: 10% chance of happening in 50 years Rare Events: 2% Chance of happening in 2500 years Frequent events are of normally smaller intensity Rare events are often high intensity Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 20

Hazard Assessment when and where hazardous processes have occurred in the past. the severity of the physical effects of past hazardous processes (magnitude). the frequency of occurrence of hazardous processes. the likely effects of a process of a given magnitude if it were to occur now. and, making all this information available in a form useful to planners and public officials responsible for making decisions in event of a disaster.

Risk Reduction What can we do to reduce the effects of a hazard Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 26

Disaster Resilience the ability of countries, communities and households to manage change, by maintaining or transforming living standards in the face of shocks or stresses such as earthquakes, drought or violent conflict without compromising their long-term prospects. DFID (2011a, 6) the capacity of a system, community or society potentially exposed to hazards to adapt, by resisting or changing in order to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning and structure. Hyogo Framework of Action (UNISDR, 2005b, 4): Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 27

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) aims to reduce the damage caused by natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones, through an ethic of prevention. Disasters often follow natural hazards. Adisaster's severity depends on how much impact a hazard has on society and the environment. The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyse and manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events. Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 28

Disaster Risk Management (DRM) DRM The systematic process of using administrative directives, organizations, and operational skills and capacities to implement strategies, policies and improved coping capacities in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility of disaster DRR and DRM The policy objective of anticipating and reducing risk is called disaster risk reduction (DRR). Although often used interchangeably with DRR, disaster risk management (DRM) can be thought of as the implementation of DRR, since it describes the actions that aim to achieve the objective of reducing risk. Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 29

Mitigation The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. Residual risk The risk that remains in unmanaged form, even when effective disaster risk reduction measures are in place, and for which emergency response and recovery capacities must be maintained. Resilience The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate to and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions. Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 30

Structural and non-structural measures Structural measures: Any physical construction to reduce or avoid possible impacts of hazards, or application of engineering techniques to achieve hazard-resistance and resilience in structures or systems; Non-structural measures: Any measure not involving physical construction that uses knowledge, practice or agreement to reduce risks and impacts, in particular through policies and laws, public awareness raising, training and education. Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 31

How do we reduce risk? Prevention The outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters (often less costly than disaster relief and response). For instance, relocating exposed people and assets away from a hazard area. Mitigation The lessening or limitation of the adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. For instance, constructing flood defences, planting trees to stabilize slopes and implementing strict land use and building construction codes. Transfer The process of formally or informally shifting the financial consequences of particular risks from one party to another whereby a household, community, enterprise or state authority will obtain resources from the other party after a disaster occurs, in exchange for ongoing or compensatory social or financial benefits provided to that other party. For instance, insurance. Preparedness The knowledge and capacities of governments, professional response and recovery organisations, communities and individuals to effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from the impacts of likely, imminent or current hazard events or conditions. For instance, installing early warning systems, identifying evacuation routes and preparing emergency supplies. Managing Natural Disasters - Dr. Naveed Anwar 32

Established in 1999 as a dedicated secretariat to facilitate the implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR).It is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution (56/195), to serve as the focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of disaster reduction and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations system and regional organizations and activities in socio economic and humanitarian fields. It is an organisational unit of the UN Secretariat and is led by the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction (SRSG).
