DRR – Capacity Needs






False sense of security? (structural mitigation)
Looking to external rescue & relief? – poor selfreliance
Un-even understanding of their (citizen/ families/
farmers) own risk of flooding and impacts
Climate change (an escape route? Or saving
clause)
Un-even level of (properly) planned development /
disaster management organization and
preparedness at local level
Lack of skills for (i) understanding hazard risks, (ii)
assessing vulnerabilities, (iii) developing plans and
(iv) skills of preparedness.

Approaches

Previously …….Response & Relief Centric
Capacity Development
Key challenges:

Auditing the efforts and outcomes (of training &
capacity building)

Auditing of mitigation (Mitigation Analysis) –
finding DRR value/impact of developmental
programmes /schemes – (Bundelkhand experience)

Clear objectives and enabling parameters?

Local level capacity – Need to move from
externality

Orientation of Parliamentarians/elective
members on recent advances on DRR & CCA
Certain experiences




Village level DMPs (AdaptCAP-NIDM-GIZ)
Family DM Plans (Sikkim)
Gorakhpur (Shared learning with District Deptts.) –
Climate resilient DDMP
Capacity Building of DDMA & LDMAs (U.P.
experience – initiative)
 District/Local DRR Expert (permanent staff)
 24 hourly operational DEOCs
 Capacity development package for districts/local
authorities

Various Committees at district level – integration
among them and mainstreaming CCA-DRR
(initiative)
Issues
Important aspects for flood risk mitigation:
 Knowledge of knowledge (who should know, what should
be known, how?)
 Resilient housing – location, design/material
 Livelihood – including crops/cropping, fisheries, livestock,
etc
 Water/sanitation/disease prevention (environmental-health)
Documentation of best practices:
 Success stories
 Failures
 Traditional & local knowledge
 Innovations/technological interventions
Planning and Decisions
Uttarakhand experience
 Power Vs. Irrigation Vs. Livelihoods Vs.
Flood control – Risk transfer? (Kosi Basin)
 Decisions and Planning (fine tuning / value
addition for DRR)

 Top level (like EIA, financial allocations, Risk
analysis, other Plans, etc.)
 Local level (like LUPs, allocating lands, site
clearance, etc.)
ECO DRR

UN-PEDRR (Partneship for Environment and
DRR) has been collaborating with NIDM since
2010 (through UNEP Geneva)

NIDM participated in the PEDRR-organized
International Workshop on Ecosystems,
Livelihoods and Disaster Risk Reduction in
Bonn, Germany in September 2010,

collaborated in delivering the first pilot PEDRR
Training Course in Sri Lanka in May2011.

Following these initiatives, NIDM and PEDRR
organized national / regional training in India.

development
District level institutional network for DM
related capacity development
Education




School education
Basic college education
Higher education (educational training)
Non-formal education
Higher Education:
 Optional Course on DM at UG level (in all streams)
 DM Specialization/elective at PG level in (1) environmental
studies, and (2) social work (not MA/MSc in DM)
 Safety/reliability engineering as elective course in
Engineering
 Emergency Medicine and Preventive-health in Medical
Institutions
 DRR law and policy – as elective/specialization in Law
courses
CSR and Issues for Corporate Sector
CSR – CCA and DRR
 Integrating Industrial/Chemical DM – with
District DM Plan

○ Off-site EP Plan and DDMP
○ Integrating CCA-DRR-Env. Management-Urban
Industrial Management = sustainability
Opportunities : Networking
