  1. Pakistan’s Perspective on Transition from Reactive to Proactive DM System

  2. Sequence • Pakistan’s vulnerabilities • Evolution & structure of DM system • Transition from reactive disaster response to proactive disaster risk reduction & preparedness • Changing focus and recent developments • Issues & challenges 2

  3. GLOF Avalanche 3

  4. Floods Land Slides

  5. Tsunami Earthquake 5

  6. Drought Forest Fires

  7. Industrial Accidents Oil Spills 7

  8. Climate Change Impacts • Inconsistent monsoon behavior • Rising number of extreme climate events • More Intense monsoon rains • Increasing frequency of heavy downpours in short time interval • Marked shift in monsoon rainfall zone from NE to NW 8

  9. Rainfall Shift 9

  10. From Reactive to Proactive DM System • Limited policy level focus on disasters • Absence of sustainable institutional arrangements to address complete spectrum of disasters • Disaster management was viewed in complete isolation from the mainstream development • Resource allocation for preparedness and response • Only relief providing legal mechanisms were in place (Calamities Act of 1958) • UNISDR in 2000 & HFA in 2005 10

  11. Earthquake - 2005 proved a wake up call

  12. We Realized • Lacking hazard and risk assessment for informed planning • Infrastructure was not hazard resistant and resilient (particularly schools and housing) • Development insensitive to disaster risk reduction (DRR) • Lacking in specialized search and rescue capacity • Limited awareness and capacity among communities • Therefore a comprehensive & proactive • Disaster Management System was established through an • Act of Parliament 12

  15. NDMA’s Role • Prevention • Mitigation • Preparedness • Response • Recovery and Rehabilitation • Reconstruction Pre Disaster Post Disaster Source: NDM ACT 2010, Section 2c 15

  16. Transition From Reactive to Proactive system inhibited by successive disasters of unprecedented magnitudes 16

  17. Cyclone 2007 & 2010 Floods - 2010 17

  18. Floods - 2011 Floods - 2012

  19. Achievements • Institutional strengthening and capacity building • Hazard and vulnerability assessment • Training, research & awareness • Preparedness and mitigation initiatives (capacity building trainings) • Contingency planning by adopting bottom up approach • Community based DRM • Mainstreaming DRR into development • Development of international linkages 19

  20. DRM Needs Report - 2012 • DRM Needs Report, 2012 compiled with inputs from provinces and relevant stakeholders, identified needs to: • Undertake extensive DRM capacity building program for PDMAs, DDMAs and relevant government organizations • Capacitate district level organizations in post disaster management skills e.g. management of relief goods and supplies, camp management etc • Multi hazard risk and vulnerability assessments at the district and community levels • Establishment and strengthening of disaster response force • Streamlining Land record, land-use planning and building codes 20

  21. Identified Needs…… • Institutionalization of DRM at the community/grassroots level • Installation and strengthening of early warning systems • Construction of warehouses for the storage and rapid provision of food and non food items in high risk areas • The construction of critical infrastructure for risk mitigation • The development of risk transfer mechanisms (insurance schemes) Others: Emergency Operation Centers, Heavy Machinery, Climate Change Studies, School Safety Programmes, DRM monitoring system, Mainstreaming DRR 21

  22. National DRR Policy • Policy approved by NDMC in February 2013 • Policy shifts focus away from response centric approach towards: • Prevention • mitigation • Preparedness 22

  23. National Disaster Management Plan • A ten years National Disaster Management Plan approved by NDMC in February 2013 with four components: • National Disaster Management Plan • Human Resource Development Plan • National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Plan • Development of CBDRM guidelines (pilot initiative in 5 districts) • Plan has 10 priority areas with 118 interventions and will cost approximately US$ 1056 millions 23

  24. Issues and Challenges • Capacity constraints of DM institutions (weak DDMAs) • Non availability of micro level risk assessments • Retrofitting of existing infrastructure for DRR • Impact of climate change phenomenon • Deficient weather forecasting capabilities • Inadequate early warning dissemination system • Strengthening of national institute of disaster management • Training and awareness of communities on DRM • Resource constraints 24

  26. HFA & NDMP’s Interventions HFA 1 - DM is a national and local priority with a strong institutional base - Intervention - 1 Establish the institutional and legal system for disaster management - Intervention - 2 Prepare disaster management plans at various levels. HFA 2 - Mechanism for identification, assessment and monitoring of disaster risks - Intervention - 3 Establish national hazard and vulnerability assessment - Intervention - 4 Establish multi-hazard early warning systems. HFA 3 – Establish better knowledge of disaster risk at local and community level - Intervention - 5 Promotion of training, education and awareness in relation to disaster management; and establish a national emergency response system - Intervention - 6 Strengthen the awareness programme on disaster risk reduction at the local level

  27. HFA & NDMP’s Interventions HFA 4 - Reduce underlying risk factors - Intervention - 7 Infrastructure development for disaster risk reduction - Intervention - 8 Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development HFA 5 - Enhance Preparedness, response and recovery measures in disaster management - Intervention - 9 Establish a national emergency response system - Intervention - 10 Capacity development for post-disaster recovery
