United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR)

The road to the Hyogo Framework for Action
1989: IDNDR 1990-1999 – promotion of disaster reduction, technical and scientific
buy-in
1994: Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action – Mid-review IDNDR, first blueprint
for disaster reduction policy guidance (social & community orientation)
2000: International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) - increased public
commitment and linkage to sustainable development, enlarged networking and
partnerships. Mechanisms: IATF/DR, ISDR secretariat, UN Trust Fund
2002: Johannesburg Plan of Implementation- WSSD Includes a new section on
“An integrated, multi-hazard, inclusive approach to address vulnerability, risk
assessment and disaster management…”
2005: WCDR - Hyogo Framework for Action 20052015 Building the Resilience of Nations and
Communities to Disasters
Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015:
Defines:
Strategic goals
 Priorities for Action
 Implementation and follow-up
• Integrates disaster risk reduction into policies, plans and programmes of
sustainable development and poverty reduction
• Recognizes risk reduction as both a humanitarian and development issue
– in the context of sustainable development
• Focus on national implementation, with bi-lateral, multi-lateral, regional
and international cooperation.
The strategic goals towards mainstreaming of
disaster risk reduction into development
• DRR integrated into sustainable development
policies and programmes;
• Strengthened institutional mechanisms to build
capacities for resilience to hazards;
• DRR as part of preparedness, relief and recovery

Progress on the Implementation of the
Hyogo Framework for Action
Priority areas for action - Means to reduce disaster risk
Ensuring that DRR is a national and local priority with a
strong institutional basis for implementation
• Political momentum at the national and regional level in
all regions
• Large scale disasters as catalysts for new institutional
arrangements and legislation
• Focus on disaster preparedness and response. Low
involvement of development sectors
• Difficulties in implementation
Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and
enhance early warning
• Growing involvement in compiling national hazard, risk
and loss information
• Information not yet mainstreamed into planning and
decision making
• Major advances in early warning
• Difficulties in linking warning to response and national
systems to local capacities
Use knowledge, innovation and education to build a
culture of safety and resilience at all levels
• Important progress in introducing disaster reduction into
the school curricula in all regions
• Public awareness programmes
• Information portals
• Focused principally on preparedness and response
Reducing underlying risk factors
• Enhancements to building codes and planning standards
• Incorporation of disaster reduction into poverty and
development strategies
• Limited progress in hazard mitigation and vulnerability
reduction
• Low engagement of private sector; civil society ; financial
sector (risk transfer)
• Lack of integration of disaster reduction and adaptation to
climate change strategies
Strengthen disaster preparedness
for an effective response
• Widespread progress in improving mechanisms for
preparedness and response
• Strengthening of capacities of both local authorities and
communities
• Effective disaster preparedness has to take root at local
level
Supporting country efforts
•
The need for action is more urgent than ever - growing risk
and slow progress in implementing the Hyogo Framework for
Action
•
Support to the achievement of a target number of national
platforms for disaster risk reduction is needed
•
Investment in risk reduction needs to be substantially
increased
•
Countries need to quickly establish systems to monitor and
report on their risk profiles and on the implementation of the
Hyogo Framework
•
The private sector should be engaged
Progress in Resource Mobilization for DRR
•
•
Increased commitment and resources – World Bank,
regional and other development banks (AsDB, AfDB, CDB,
CAF, BCIE, IADB…), European Commission, G8, and
bilateral donors
Multilateral: “Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and
Recovery” in support of HFA implementation
•
Bilateral: Launch of the UK-DFID Policy: 10% of funds spent
on disaster relief would be invested in initiatives to reduce the
impact of disasters
•
Review of ISDR Trust Fund: potential role in support of
ISDR system
Global Trends
Economic loss,
mortality and
number of
disasters is
increasing
Extensive Risk
Current progress may reduce mortality risk but not loss of
livelihoods assets, housing and local infrastructure, threaten
the achievement of MDGs and lead to new hotspots.
Challenges include:
- Local level disaster risk reduction has to include risk
sensitive planning and building, vulnerability reduction
and environmental measures to reduce climatic hazards
- Depends on decentralization of authority and resources to
the local level
Mainstreaming DRR within APEC mechanisms
•
Fostering a multi-stakeholder dialogue
•
Planning and Investment / Stimulate DRR activities in
production sectors
•
Develop communication and dissemination mechanisms for
disaster risk information and early warning
•
Establishment of risk indicators
•
Financial/economic instruments: create opportunities for
private-sector involvement in DRR / Promote the
establishment of PPP
•
Local level disaster risk reduction
•
Disaster recovery: develop a recovery planning process that
incorporates DRR
