Factors of disaster risk Definition of Disaster Risk Reduction

Natural hazard + Vulnerability = Disaster Risk Disaster Risk Reduction •Earthquake • Socioeconomic situation The systematic development and application of policies, •Flood • Infrastructure quality strategies and practices to minimise vulnerabilities, •Mudflow hazards and the unfolding of disaster impacts throughout • Housing a society, in the broad context of sustainable •Mudslides • Environmental development. •Hurricanes degradation United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) • Climate • Level of organisation …. change •Etc.

DRR is a major development challenge as Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015

• Absolute levels of disaster risk are Five priorities for action 2005-2015: increasing due to various pressures, 1. Governance: ensure that disaster risk reduction is a including climate change national and local priority with strong institutional basis for implementation • Disasters affect poor countries and poor 2. Risk identification: identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and enhance early warning people the most 3. Knowledge: use knowledge , innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all • Disasters pose a significant and growing levels threat to development 4. Reducing the underlying risk factors 5. Strengthen disaster preparedness for effective response

Echo role in Disaster Preparedness A°) Dipecho programme

DIPECHO programme (Bi-annual program by region): • Objective: to address DP in a regional framework, targeting the Three pillars: main natural disaster-prone areas in the world - DIPECHO 1°) Disaster preparedness programme - covers 6 regions, DIPECHO • Main focus on „preparation“ rather than „mitigation“ 2°) Integration of disaster preparedness • Bottom-up/Community Based approach targeting most elements in ECHO´s main activities Î vulnerable and poorest communities mainstreaming DP component in relief • „Preparation“ activities financed: • training, strengthening of institutions and management, operations awareness campaigns, early warning systems, relief 3°) Advocacy towards other Commission mechanisms, hazard mapping • „Mitigation“ activities financed: services and outside • small-scale mitigation demonstrative projects, small-scale infrastructure projects

2 B°) Mainstreaming Disaster preparedness C°) Advocacy

Step-by step, specific disaster preparedness measures will become For a long time ECHO has been the only Commission integral part of programmes for countries which have been identified as specifically disaster-prone. In addition, Echo will service dealing with DRR.DRR has not been a priority check that all disaster relief and rehabilitation strategies, for key development players programmes and projects:

– Do not contribute to creating exacerbating future Therefore, ECHO has continuously advocated the key risks/vulnerability. development players in the Commission to take DRR more into account in their own programming and – Contribute to an improved awareness of risks/vulnerability by the operations. beneficiary population and (local ) governance structures Sustainable development is the best disaster – are designed with consideration for potential disaster risk and to resist hazard impact preparedness policy

1 Central Asian Assessment

• Private Sector is Young but Emerging particularly telecommunications, energy and Public Private Community banking sectors • Overall the last 15 years, governments have Partnerships become stronger but still require some support in planning and implementation • Strong community-based organizations existing • Some national platforms for PPCP exist in Uzbekistan for social services but not in DRR • One true PPP exists in Tajikistan - PamirEnergy

Central Asian Assessment PPCP Vision

• Few legislative examples exist providing A mature/functioning PPCP environment includes: incentives for private sector involvement in DRR • Legal Framework and Operation Plans supporting PPCP in DRR • No mechanism/platform exist to drive/enable • DRR all stakeholders recognize PPCP as PPC stakeholders to come together necessary for sustained success (implicit • Private sector has low awareness of DRR knowledge) • No regional disaster response plan exists • A mechanism/platform exists a regional, national and local levels fostering PPCP in DRR developed in consultation with PPC stakeholders • Many examples of success stories of PPCP in DRR exist in the country and are widely known and used as models for replication

Conclusions

• Review/update legislation and operational plans to include private sector incentives for participating in DRR and Disaster Response • Advocate/raise awareness to PPC stakeholders on the value and importance of PPCP in DRR • Advocate/educate private sector stakeholders on the importance and value Public Private Community of disaster preparedness and opportunities of involvement (including corporate emergency planning and usage of scientific tools) • Develop regional/national/local disaster preparedness/response plans Partnerships through PPC collaboration • Identify platforms through which PPCP is fostered and supported (i.e. UZ – State PPCP programs, TJ – REACT) • Support realization of PPCP DRR success stories through partners that already are set up to implement them whereby these success stories can be used to replicate to other areas • Share these recommendations with other public, private and community stakeholders

1 The Committee of EUROPEAN COMMISSION Key Findings/Conclusions about Emergency Situations and Directorate-General for Civil Defense under the Humanitarian Aid – ECHO Government of the Republic of Tajikistan DIPECHO Central Asia the status of Ed/Trng for DRR ECHO Office, Dushanbe • There exists a gap between knowledge and practice among target groups that have been “trained” in DRR. (behavior issue) Session IV. Topical Discussions • There is no one overall coordination mechanism that is driving the development of education and training Education and Training programs for DRR.(policy issue) • Education and training approaches currently are very diversified in their key messages, methodologies and expectations.(program issue) • Institutions (schools, medical facilities, etc.) provide a channel for systematizing and streamlining educational and training programs.(procedure issue)

Recommendations regarding Ed/Trng for DRR • At a country level, an overarching strategy • For more effective education and training programs, more care should be taken to on E/T should be formulated that includes understand the demographic, cultural and – authoritative standardized key physical characteristics of the target group educational messages and practices involved. • Coordination should be established between key • - that can be transmitted through adapted government stakeholders (CoESCD,MoH, MoE training approaches, and others); • Standardized training package approved by the • - depending on the target group profile. top governmental authorities; • Training covering all population, making sure that vulnarable groups have access.
