EMERGING CONCEPTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
SAFER COMMUNITIES
•INCREASE RESILIENCE – reducing vulnerability
•COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY
–
wise
management in utilisation of resources
RE-FOCUS:
• Manage broader range of Sources of Risk
•Effective Management of Disaster Situation

The All Hazards, Whole of Country
Comprehensive Approach to
Hazard and Risk Management
requires that programmes and processes:

Address all hazards including natural,
human-induced, technological, biological and
environmental

Adopt all appropriate risk treatments,
including prevention / mitigation,
preparedness, response and recovery
cont’d
Integrate the efforts of all relevant regional and
national organisations and agencies, public
sector, NGOs, and community organisations
Link to national development planning and
decision-making processes / systems
Seek to develop prepared communities with
reduced vulnerability to risk and with increased
resilience to the impact of hazards and
Seek to strengthen multi-sectoral
collaboration and partnerships
Risk Management Principles
• Risk management embraces the continuum of activities
of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery
from disasters.
• National risk management is government responsibility
using existing core decision-making structures of
government
• Declaration of an emergency should be made at an
appropriate level of government
• Everyone is a stakeholder and emergencies is best
handled at the district/island level whenever possible
• Recognising the involvement of all the authoritative
spheres of influence within the community
CHARM
A comprehensive hazard and risk
management tool and / or process
within the context of an integrated
national development planning process.
Principles Underpinning CHARM
Development
• (a)
Linking
CHARM
with
national
development strategies whilst using existing
decision-making processes.
• (b) Developing appropriate communication,
consultation and information management
systems
to
facilitate
coordination,
collaboration,
reporting
and
sharing
information
within
departments,
with
stakeholders and with the communities.
• Acknowledging that the CHARM approach is a
powerful cost saving and easy to use tool in the
reduction of risks that is vital to enhancing equitable
and sustainable national development through wise
use of resources.
• Ensuring that CHARM is promoted appropriately
at the highest level of government particularly with
Cabinet, key ministries and national development
committees.
• Ensuring clear articulation in legislations and
policies for nation-wide implementation of CHARM.
• Ensuring that appropriate training filters into
agency levels.

Key Elements
• identify and analyse each hazard against
national development priorities
• identify vulnerable sectors and their risk
factors in relation to each of the hazards
• determine the most appropriate treatment
options within integrated Mitigation,
Preparedness, Response and Recovery
programs
Key Elements
• identify what activities or projects are
already being implemented or proposed at
the country level and by regional
organisations
• identify programming gaps or needs that are
not being addressed
• determine lead responsibilities for managing
the implementation of the risk reduction
strategy
OUTCOME OF CHARM
• Accepting and identifying “cause-impacts”
or risk relations linking significant hazards and their
potential adverse, ripple impacts on future growth and
development
• Recognising that risks can be managed
• Availing a DECISION-MAKING tool for designing
of effective risk management programs
• Involving all government and NGO resources in
inter agency collaboration
• Analysing role and functions of NDMO & NDMC
• Identifying linkages / benefits between all the
stakeholders
Development Goals
at
Country Level
• Advocate to Senior Executives &
Politicians
• Involve senior key postholders
• Mainstream into national implementation
arrangements
Development Requirement
Regional Level
• Advocate / Promote to and Coordinate with
CROP agencies
• Enhance Region-wide approach and
uniform guideline / standard
• Advocate to and Encourage Proactive
Donor support
IMPLEMENATION
GUIDELINE : Major Steps
• Introductory working sessions
• Sensitising key government ministries and
NGO’s
• Developing an Action Plan
• Conducting an all agency Workshop
• Designing the draft support programme
• Designing the CHARM policy document
IMPLEMENATION
GUIDELINE : Major Steps
• Conducting a follow-up country meeting
• Preparing an annual task activity statement
• Establishing monitoring, review and
reporting mechanism
Application
• SPC – MASLR : Fruit- Fly =>Pest and
Disease Threats
• Foot-and-Mouth; Taro Blight are the most
significant threats
• Draft ERP
• To in-build Prevention and Recovery
