Responses
To be distributed among all HFA focal points in Asia
To major Civil Society Organizations in Asia
WHO-EMRO Africa requested for a similar training
box for its network of 22 countries.
Department of Civil Protection, Italy-asked it to be
replicated.
Nasa Community-Columbia presently using it for
training in community.
Key Impacts
– Partnerships for DRR established between civil
societies and Governments
– DRR Knowledge to the people: Local
communities and field practitioners across Asia
equipped with DRR tools and methodologies
– Advocacy channels from people to policy
Key Achievements
Objective : Increased public awareness and knowledge on tsunami risk
and disaster risk reduction towards an enhanced culture of safety
Achievements:
– IEC Material on DRR and School Safety to be developed at school and community level in
local language (Orissa, India)
– Material on Disaster Management, solid waste, home kitchen gardens at a coastal bio shields
to be developed (Maldives)
– Film on Disaster Risk Reduction (ADRRN IPT)
– Training modules on DRR for field practitioners (Kyoto University, University of Madras,
Peradeniya University, ITB Indonesia)
– Disaster Risk Reduction for capacity building of NGOs (Indonesia)
– Advocacy workshop for integrating disaster management in education pedagogy (Indonesia)
– Awareness training, creation of task Forces and Mock Drills to be conducted in schools
situated along 5 km coastal belt of Orissa
Key Achievements (Cont’d)
Objective : Strengthened disaster risk reduction (preparedness, mitigation
and response) capacities of local communities
Achievements:
– Risk Assessment of 5km coastal belt of Orissa, India
– Risk assessment and Base Line Studies of seven selected villages in two different districts of
Sri Lanka and in Shaviyani Atoll (Maldives)
– Disaster Management Plans developed at school and community level. (Orissa, India)
– Disaster management plans developed for seven selected villages in two districts of (Sri
Lanka)

– Landslide mitigation measures to be implemented in five villages (Sri Lanka)
Lessons Learned
•
Networking approach to building resilience creates local sustainability.
Result has been more than the sum of activities.
•
Local level awareness and knowledge of risk is low. Even though well
developed indigenous knowledge exists. Risk Assessments and further
research needed.
•
Sustainability and mainstreaming requires long term programming
•
Extensive weather related disasters are already affecting local Communities
•
Most post-disaster ‘DRR’ initiatives are preparedness oriented. Concept of
DRR is yet to be fully understood.
How the outcomes will be sustained…
• Organizations facilitating work in the project
areas have developed long term system of
engagement with local communities.
• New projects are already in place to sustain and
upscale initiatives in this project
• Extensive documentation, DRR Tool Box to
invite other stakeholders to replicate successes.
Future plans
• Develop plans for continuing Climate Change
Adaptation work with local communities.
• Widen stakeholder engagement both locally and
nationally
• To share and replicate outcomes of the project
along other vulnerable coastal communities in
Asia fulfilling ADRRN’s mission for a safer
Asia!
Thank you!
