  • Promoting Disaster Risk Reduction to Save Lives and Reduce Its Impacts WHO WE ARE
    Photo: GTZ Promoting Disaster Risk Reduction to save lives and reduce its impacts WHO WE ARE he International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a strategic framework adopted by United Nations Member States in 2000. The ISDR guides and coordinates theT efforts of a wide range of partners to achieve a substantive reduction in disaster losses. It aims to build resilient nations and communities as an essential condition for sustainable development. The United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) is the secretariat of the ISDR system. The ISDR system comprises numerous organizations, States, intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, financial institutions, technical bodies and civil society, which work together and share information to reduce disaster risk. UNISDR serves as the focal point for the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) – a ten year plan of action adopted in 2005 by 168 governments to protect lives and livelihoods against disasters. Photo: Jean P. Lavoie Disaster Risk Reduction Communities will always face natural hazards. Current disasters, however, are often a direct result of, or are exacerbated by, human activities. Such activities are changing the Earth’s natural balance, interfering like never before with the atmosphere, oceans, polar caps, forest cover and biodiversity, as well as other natural resources which make our world a habitable place. Furthermore, we are also putting ourselves at risk in ways that are less visible. Because natural hazards can affect anybody, disaster risk reduction is everybody’s responsibility. Disasters are not natural and can often be prevented. Economic resources, political will and a shared sense of hope form part of our collective protection from calamities.

  • Small Drinking Water Systems Project
    Strong evidence, stronger public health Small Drinking Water-borne Disease Outbreaks in Water Systems Canadian Small Drinking Water Systems Project Hannah Moffatt, Sylvia Struck Report Highlights Information about Canadian drinking water systems and past water-borne disease outbreaks is incomplete and non-standardized. Standard definitions and coordinated surveillance systems for water-borne disease outbreaks would help inform policy and practice. A relatively high proportion of past water-borne disease outbreaks in Canada are estimated to have occurred in small drinking water systems serving populations of 5,000 people or less. Water-borne disease outbreaks in small drinking water systems are often the result of a combination of water system failures; contributing factors often include a lack of source water protection and inadequate drinking water treatment. Analyses suggest small drinking water systems face challenges associated with infrastructure, technology, and financial constraints. Investments in drinking water systems and operator training have the potential to reduce the burden of water-borne disease in Canada. Executive Summary Generally, Canadians have access to safe and secure drinking water. However, as demonstrated by the events of Walkerton in 2000, the exception can be tragic. Outbreaks of water-borne disease are preventable, yet evidence-informed policy and practice is hampered, in part, by our limited knowledge of drinking water systems that experience outbreaks and the factors that contribute to outbreaks in Canada. There is no national surveillance system for systematic collection of water-borne disease outbreak data. Investigating past water-borne disease outbreaks is a valuable approach to collect information to inform practice and policy. Investigations of water-borne disease outbreaks are challenging because the outbreak events are rare, the pathogenic agents involved may be transmitted via multiple routes (e.g., person to person, food-borne, as well as water-borne), and gastrointestinal illnesses are frequently under-reported.

  • Thematic Sheet on Disaster Risk Reduction
    H E T E M R E A T H I P C S 2 S H E E T Disaster Risk Reduction Sphere Thematic Sheets (TS) explain Sphere’s relevance for a specific theme. Here, we encourage Sphere users to mainstream Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) into their work and highlight to DRR specialists how Sphere supports their work. The Sphere Handbook does not explicitly mention DRR in its principles and standards. However, there is a direct and strong link between the two. This TS gives a brief overview of the concept of DRR and explores the mutual relevance of Sphere and DRR activities, common principles and approaches anchored in both, as well as a focus on Sphere’s technical chapters. The document is complemented by further online content. Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction in Emergency Response While Sphere standards focus on the disaster response phase, they need to be solidly anchored and integrated in prevention, mitigation, preparedness, and recovery activities: “Relief aid must strive to reduce future vulnerabilities to disaster as well as meeting basic needs” (NGO Code of Conduct, Principle 8) Definition:Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is the concept and practice of reducing the risk of disaster through systematic efforts to analyse and manage causal factors. It includes reducing exposure to hazards, lessening the vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improving preparedness for adverse events (Sphere definition of DRR). This implies the following key elements of DRR*: (1) Analysis of risks, vulnerabilities and capacities, (2) Reduction of exposure, (3) Reduction of vulnerabilities and (4) Enhancing capacities *please see online glossary for definitions of various DRR-related terms used in this TS Disasters related with natural hazards are increasing The SFDRR also highlights the need to mainstream in frequency and intensity, many of them exacerbated disaster risk reduction in the full disaster management by climate change.

  • Issue Brief: Disaster Risk Governance Crisis Prevention and Recovery
    ISSUE BRIEF: DISASTER RISK GOVERNANCE CRISIS PREVENTION AND RECOVERY United Nations Development Programme “The earthquake in Haiti in January 2010 was about the same magnitude as the February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, but the human toll was significantly higher. The loss of 185 lives in Christchurch was 185 too many. However, compared with the estimated 220,000 plus killed in Haiti in 2010, it becomes evident that it is not the magnitude of the natural hazard alone that determines its impact.” – Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator Poorly managed economic growth, combined with climate variability and change, is driving an overall rise in global disaster Around the world, it is the poor who face the greatest risk from risk for all countries. disasters. Those affected by poverty are more likely to live in drought and flood prone regions, and natural hazards are far Human development and disaster risk are interlinked. Rapid more likely to hurt poor communities than rich ones. economic and urban development can lead to growing Ninety-five percent of the 1.3 million people killed and the 4.4 concentrations of people in areas that are prone to natural billion affected by disasters in the last two decades lived in developing countries, and fewer than two per cent of global hazards. The risk increases if the exposure of people and assets deaths from cyclones occur in countries with high levels of to natural hazards grows faster than the ability of countries to development. improve their risk reduction capacity.

RUBEN S TEIN Cooperation and Tension in Regional E-mail: [email protected] and Global Infectious Disease Phone: 443.287.8729 Surveillance Summary • Globalization of infectious disease transmission has led to international and regional initiatives to improve surveillance and response. The World Health Organization’s revised International Health Regulations provide a more robust legal framework for outbreak investigations. New regional networks are strengthening collaborative approaches to prevention of pandemics even in parts of the world where political tensions usually run high. • To fulfill the promise of these new mechanisms, the United States should integrate capac- ity development for disease surveillance into its global health strategy, including providing greater investment in laboratories, training and technical assistance for low-income countries. • Effective international cooperation has not extended to creating a system for equitable distri- bution of vaccines, resulting in vast disparities in availability of vaccines between richer and poorer countries. As a result, political tensions between wealthy and low-income countries have increased. Unless inequity is addressed, global health security will not advance. Without resolution, The emergence of novel infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, SARS, and influenza A (H5N1), has led states to appreciate that protection of their citizens from pathogens depends in part upon the problem of inequitable “ successful international cooperation on infectious disease surveillance and response.
