THE FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE Part 1: Preparedness

1. THE FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCEPart 1: Preparedness Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA 

2. DISASTER RESILIENCE IS A FAILED POLICY WITHOUT THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FIVE KINDS OF POLICIES (i.e., The Five Pillars of Disaster Resilience)

3. PREPAREDNESS • PROTECTION • EARLY WARNING • EM RESPONSE • RECOVERY 5 PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE • MONITORING • HAZARD MAPS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • LOCATIONR DATA BASES AND INFORMATION YOUR NATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

4. THE GOAL DISASTER RESILIENCE: DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNITY

5. REALITY LACK OF DISASTER RESILIENCE INSUFFICIENT PREPAREDNESS OF COMMUNITY UNANTICIPATED DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY

6. PREPAREDNESS ISAN ESSENTIAL PILLAR OF DISASTER RESILIENCE

7. WHAT IS PREPAREDNESS? (Preparedness is a state of readiness on individual, urban, sub-regional, and national scales that is sufficient to keep the disaster agents of a natural hazard from causing a disaster

8. THE STATE-OF-READINESS IN A COMMUNITY INCREASES AS A COMMUNITY’S CAPABILITY TO ANTICIPATE WHAT WILL HAPPEN INCREASES

9. ANY COMMUNITY CAN INCREASE ITS STATE-OF-READINESS FOR THE POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF ANY NATURAL HAZARD

10. ACTIVITIES THAT INCREASE THE CAPABILITY OF COMMUNITY PROFESSIONALS • HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENTS; • MONITORING, PREDICTIONS, FORECASTS AND WARNINGS; • DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIOS

11. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANTICIPATED? • WHAT NATURAL HAZARD (S) IS/ARE MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR? • WHERE AND WHEN WILL IT/THEY OCCUR? • HOW BIG OR STRONG WILL THE POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF EACH HAZARD BE?

12. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANTICIPATED (Continued)? • WHAT KINDS OF BUILDINGS ARE AT RISK? • WHAT KINDS OF BASIC, ESSENTIAL, AND CRITICAL INFRA-STRUCTURE ARE AT RISK? • WHAT ARE THEIR PHYSICAL VUL-NERABILITIES

13. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANTICIPATED (Continued)? • WHAT ARE THE LIKELY SOCIAL VULNERABILITIES • WHAT IS THE LIKELY DAMAGE DISTRIBUTION? • WHAT ARE THE LIKELY CASUALTIES, SOCIO-ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS?

14. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS TO BE READY FOR • INUNDATION • FLOODING • STRONG WIND FIELD • STORM SURGE • GROUND SHAKING • LIQUEFACTION AND LANDSLIDES • TSUNAMI WAVE RUNUP

15. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS TO BE READY FOR (Continued) • VOLCANIC ASH PLUMES • LATERAL BLASTS • LAVA FLOWS • LAHARS • MUD FLOWS • FIRES AT THE URBAN-WILDERNESS INTERFACE • DROUGHTS
