WHO DOES WHAT WHERE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN Third edition June 2011

Georgian Committee for Disaster Risk Reduction & Environmen t Sustainable Development

FOREWORD

Georgia is a highly disaster-prone country, which frequently experiences natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, floods, landslides, mudflows, avalanches, and drought) as well as man-made emergencies (e.g. industrial accidents and traffic accidents). Compounding factors such as demographic change, unplanned urbanization, poorly maintained infrastructure, lax enforcement of safety standards, socio-economic inequities, epidemics, environmental degradation and climate variability amplify the frequency and intensity of disasters and call for a proactive and multi-hazard approach. Disaster risk reduction is a cross-cutting and complex development issue. It requires political and legal commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge, careful development planning, responsible enforcement of policies and legislation, people-centred early warning systems, and effective disaster preparedness and response mechanisms. Close collaboration of policy-makers, scientists, urban planners, engineers, architects, development workers and civil society representatives is a precondition for adopting a comprehensive approach and inventing adequate solutions. Multi-stakeholder and inter-agency platforms can help provide and mobilize knowledge, skills and resources required for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development policies, for coordination of planning and programmes, and for provision of analysis and advice. For this reason, UNDP established a Disaster Risk Reduction Think-Tank in Georgia in March of 2009 in close collaboration with the Georgian Committee for Disaster Risk Reduction and Environmental Sustainable Development (formed in 2008). Since disaster risk reduction requires new collaboration patterns among a wide group of participants, one of the first joint initiatives was to obtain an overview of who does what and where in the field of disaster risk reduction in Georgia. This 3W-exercise was launched at the first Disaster Risk Reduction Think-Tank meeting in March of 2009. Based upon templates from the inter-agency Emergency Health and Nutrition Working Group in Nepal, forms were developed, translated and disseminated to various agencies / institutions involved in disaster risk reduction. Initial results were presented at the third Think-Tank meeting in July 2009 along with guidelines on how to fill in the questionnaire. The second edition was elaborated during the first three months of 2010. Although this third edition remains a working document, we hope the 50 institutional / organizational profiles will facilitate better coordination among stakeholders in Georgia involved in disaster risk reduction. This publication is based on information received from partner agencies / organizations and requires continuous review and updating in order to provide an accurate picture of the disaster risk reduction scenario in Georgia. It is important that partners provide regular updates to their profiles in order to keep the publication current. For any modification, feedback, suggestion, and addition of new partner profiles, please contact Ms Rusudan Arveladze ([email protected]), “Strengthening Disaster Risk Reduction System in Georgia” Project Assistant, UNDP. This DRR Directory will be printed, updated regularly and made available online.
