1. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT

2. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION (DRR) The concept and practice of analysis and management of the causes of disasters, through reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability , wise management of the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events, to reduce disaster risk.

3. KEY CONCEPT OF DRR Disaster risk reduction is a matter of decision Disaster risk reduction is about choices Disaster risk reduction is everyone’s business

4. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS A MATTER OF DECISION Each decision and action people make are determinants as to whether they are vulnerable to disaster or more resilience to them.

5. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS ABOUT CHOICES Reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment , and improving preparedness and early warning for adverse events are all example of disaster risk reduction.

6. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS Disaster risk reduction involves everyone in society, government, and various sectors working together to minimize the impact of disasters and promote sustainable development.

7. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DRR Development can either increase or decrease disaster risk Disaster risk reduction policy, laws and regulations will not save lives unless correctly implemented in communities The “community” is the front of disaster risk management

8. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DRR DRR cut across all categories of human activity disaster risk reduction at the national, provincial, and community level takes a long time to achieve DRR must be normal part of the decentralized development process

9. ELEMENTS OF DRR Disaster Risk Reduction Continuum Immediate Disaster Response Post Disaster to Continuum

10. 1. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION CONTINUUM ONGOING DEVELOPMENT CTIVITIES - Ongoing drm aspects in different development program RISK ASSESSMENT - Diagnostic process to identify the risks that a community faces PREVENTION - Activities to avoid the adverse impact of hazard MITIGATION - Structural/Non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact

11. PREPAREDNESS - Activities and measures taken in advance to ensure effective response EARLY WARNING - Provision of timely and effective information to avoid or reduce risk

12. 2. Immediate Disaster Response EVACUATION - Temporary mass departure of people and property from threatened locations SAVING PEOPLE AND LIVELIHOODS - Protection of people and livelihoods during emergency IMMEDIATE ASSISSTANCE - Provision of assistance during or immediate after disaster ASSESSING DAMAGE AND LOSS - Information about impact on assets and loss production

13. 3. POST DISASTER TO CONTINUUM Ongoing Assistance- Continued assistance until a certain level of recovery Recovery- Actions taken after a disaster with a view to restoring infracture and services Reconstruction-Actions taken after disaster to ensure resettlement/relocation

14. Economic and social recovery-Measures taken to normalize the economy and societal living Ongoing development activity- Continued actions of development program Risk Assessment- Diagnostic process to identify new risks that communities may again face.

15. IMPORTANCE OF DRR Identification, assessment, and monitor disaster risks and improve early warning systems. The reduction of underlying risk factors Utilization and application of knowledge, innovation, and education to establish a culture of safety and resilience at all levels. To intensify disaster preparedness for effective response and recovery at all levels, from national down to local levels.

16. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT The systematic process of using all available manpower and resources to implement various methods to lessen the impacts of hazards and the likelihood of a disaster

17. PRINCIPLE OF DRR AND MANAGEMENT Disaster management is the responsibility of all spheres of government. Disaster management should use resources that exist for a day-to-day purpose. Organizations should function s an extension of their core business. Individuals are responsible for their own safety. Disaster management planning should focus on large-scale events. Disaster management planning should recognize the difference between incidents and disasters. Disaster management operational arrangement must recognize the involvement and potentional role of non-government agencies.

18. 1. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION CONTINUUM Ongoing development activities - Ongoing DRM aspects in different development programs. Risk assessment- Diagnostic process to identify the risks that a community faces

19. PREVENTION Activities to avoid the adverse impact of hazards Mitigation Structural/non-structural measures undertaken to limit the adverse impact

20. PREPAREDNESS Activities and measures taken in advance to ensure

21. EFFECTIVE RESPONSE EARLY WARNING Provision of timely and effective information to avoid or reduce risk

22. 2. IMMEDIATE DISASTER RESPONSE Evacuation - temporary mass departure of people and property from threatened locations Saving people and livelihoods- Protection of people and livelihoods during emergency Immediate assistance - Provision of assistance during or immediately after disaster Assessing damage and loss - Information about impact on assets and loss to production

23. 3. POST DISASTER TO CONTINUUM Ongoing assistance - Continued assistance until a certain level of recovery Recovery Actions taken after a disaster with a view to restoring infrastructure and services Reconstruction - Actions taken after a disaster to ensure resettlement/ relocation
