  1. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS A Time-Dependent and Policy-Driven Process to Underpin Disaster Resilience Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

  2. THE STATE OF THE WORLD: UNPREPARED REALITY: 200 Nations and 7 Billion People are Investing Over 6 Trillion Dollars Each Year in Urban Development and Billions in Education. REALITY:Each Year, approximately 700-900 Events Cause Economic losses in the $ Billions With Large Tolls in Mortality and Morbidity and a Loss Potential That is Increasing Exponentially With Time.

  3. DISASTERS OCCUR WHEN---A COMMUNITY’S PUBLIC POLICIES ALLOW IT TO BE … UN—PREPARED

  4. FOUR PILLARS OF RESILIENCE • NATURAL HAZARDS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • LOCATION • PREPAREDNESS • PROTECTION • EMERGENCY RESPONSE • RECOVERY IENCE RISK ASSESSMENT ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK GOAL: DISASTER RESILIENCE DATA BASES AND INFORMATION COMMUNITY HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

  5. GOAL:FROM UN—PREPARED TO A STATE OF PREPAREDNESS FOR ALL NATURAL HAZARDS

  6. The Goal:Making Cities Disaster Resilient Concentrating all Available Resources on The Urgent Goal ISDR Introduced to the World on October 13th, 2010

  7. A PART OF THE UNITED NATIONS’ WORLD DISASTER REDUCTION CAMPAIGNCoordinated by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR)

  8. THE WAY FORWARD DISASTER RESILIENCE IN EVERY CITY IN EVERY REGION OF THE WORLD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE

  9. THE AMERICAS CARIBBEAN BASIN ISLAND NATIONS EUROPE ASIA MEDITERRANEAN SUB-SAHARA AFRICA TOWARDS DISASTER RESILIENCE IN EVERY CITY THROUGHOUT WORLD ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DISASTER RISK REDUCTION POLICIES & /PROGRAMS

  10. ELEMENT 1 OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS • HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENTS

  11. ELEMENT 2 OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS • PREDICTIONS, FORECASTS AND WARNING SYSTEMS

  12. ELEMENT 3 OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS • DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIOS

  13. ELEMENT 4 OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS • INSURANCE

  14. ELEMENT 4 OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS • TOWARDS THE “INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY “

  15. HAZARDS EXPOSURE VULNERABILITY LOCATION ELEMENTS OF RISK RISK

  16. HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENTS • WHERE WILL THE NAT. HAZARD OCCUR? • WHEN? • PHYSICAL EFFECTS? • HOW BIG OR SEVERE? • WHAT IS AT RISK? • THE VULNERABILITIES? • EXPECTED DAMAGE? • EXPECTED SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS?

  17. GOAL: The implementation of policies by local governments that will move their cities towards disaster resilience.

  18. An Unique Opportunity: This is an opportunity for the world’s more than 1 million cities to adopt the ISDR’S urgent goal of becoming disaster resilient as quickly as possible, and to find ways to make it happen.

  19. SOME OF THE KINDS OF DISASTERS THAT HAPPENED DURING 2010-2011 DEMONSTRATE THE URGENT NEED FOR RESILIENCE

  33. THE RESILIENT CITIES CAMPAIGN THE CAMPAIGN WILL SUCCEED WHEN CITIES ARE PREPARED FOR ALL NATURAL HAZARDS, AND ARE REDUCING DISASTER RISKS TOWARDS ZERO

  34. EVERY REGION HAS CITIES WITH “CHAMPIONS” TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP SUB-SAHARA AFRICA CARIBBEAN BASIN EUROPE 200 NATIONS AND 7 BILLION PEOPLE NORTH AMERICA MEDITER- RANEAN SOUTH AMERICA ISLAND NATIONS ASIA

  35. THE GOAL OF EVERY CITY • LESS RISK! • PREPARED FOR ALL NATURAL HAZARDS (E.G., FLOODS, SEVERE WINDSTORMS, EARTHQUAKES)

  36. FACTS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY! COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL ALLIANCES! CHANGE IN THINKING! EFFORTS THAT BUILD LOCAL CAPACITY FOR PREPAREDNESS F A C EIS THE KEY

  37.
