| Title: |
Reducing
Disaster Risk: A Challenge for Development |
| Author(s)/Editor(s): |
United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) |
| Publisher: |
United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) |
| Description: |
2004,
146 p. ISBN: 92-1-126160-0 |
| Subject: |
Natural
disasters, Risk reduction, Risk management, Governance, Sustainable
development, Disaster indicators, Urbanization |
| Summary: |
This
report demonstrates that development processes intervene in
the translation of physical exposure into natural disaster
events. The report argues that disaster risk is not inevitable
and offers examples of good practice in disaster risk reduction
that can be built into ongoing development planning policy.
This publication and the Living with Risk published
by the UN/ISDR, are two complementary and coordinated initiatives |

| Subject: |
Natural
hazards, Vulnerability, Environment |
| Summary: |
Two
analytical models are provided as tools for understanding vulnerability.
One links remote and distant “root causes” to “unsafe
conditions” in a “progression of vulnerability”.
The other uses the concepts of “access” and “livelihood” to
understand why some households are more vulnerable than others.
The book then concludes with strategies to create a safer world. |

the significance of hazards and the risks associated with them;
appreciate the need for risk management in project planning
and implementation, and the value of such efforts; recognise
the main issues that must be understood and addressed when
carrying out risk reduction or disaster mitigation and preparedness
initiatives; and understand, at least in broad terms, how to
address these issues in practice, throughout the project cycle. |

assessment, Risk management, Emergency management, Recovery,
Natural disasters, Biological hazards, Technological hazards |
| Summary: |
Every
day, people face a variety of risks that may result in damage
to what they value: their life, their health, the lives and
health of others, their property, or the environment. Some
of these risks affect individuals but have only an isolated
impact on society. Others, however, may be on a much larger
scale and their effects may spread much further. This report
is concerned with the latter, more specifically with those
risks that affect the systems on which society depends – health,
transport, environment, telecommunications, etc. Five categories
of such risks are addressed: natural disasters, industrial
accidents, infectious diseases, terrorism, and food safety. |

| Subject: |
Natural
disasters, Gender |
| Summary: |
This
paper provides a valuable analysis of the gender facets of
natural disasters including the gendered economic impacts in
the form of: loss of assets and entitlements; increase in women’s
workload and care-giving functions, deterioration in working
conditions, and women’s rather slow recovery from economic
losses. Some impacts of disasters on men are also highlighted.
Also of significance is the fact that the data assembled in
the document cover both developing and developed countries.
Action proposals are made on how the identified critical gender
aspects can be taken into account in crisis response and reconstruction. |

Environment,
Natural disasters, Socio-economic impacts |
| Summary: |
This
new version of the ECLAC Handbook describes the methods required
to assess the social, economic and environmental effects of
disasters, breaking them down into direct damages and indirect
losses and into overall and macroeconomic effects. The Handbook
is not aimed at identifying the origins of disasters or defining
the actions to be undertaken during the emergency or humanitarian
assistance stage, since these tasks fall within the jurisdiction
of other institutions and bodies. Although this second version
of the Handbook contains significant improvements, it is not
a finished product. Rather, we view it as a work in progress
to be enriched continuously by the experience and contributions
of its users as they apply it to the unique challenges of each
new disaster. |

| Summary: |
Due
to the high seismicity of the region and because the Usoi dam
is not an engineered structure designed to withstand the large
volume of water it confines, several questions have been raised
regarding the conceivable threat of its collapse. This report
presents the final results of the inter-agency risk assessment
mission, including practical recommendations for further action.
It is clear that any solution to make Lake Sarez and, its downstream
villages safer, would require coordinated international and
regional collaboration. |

| Subject: |
Community
action, Disaster management |
| Summary: |
Effective
and successful disaster reduction initiatives are often attributed
to the spontaneous participation of the communities and involvement
of the people. In most cases, it can be observed that community
initiatives produce results so long as there is external support
from the government, non-governmental organizations(NGOs) and/or
international organizations. It is a common notion that grass-roots
initiatives are the responsibilities of NGOs. Thus, the major
challenges of the community based disaster management (CBDM)
are:1) sustainability of the efforts at the community level,
and 2) incorporation of CBDM issues at the policy level. |

Natural
hazards, Damage estimation |
| Summary: |
History
has shown that Europe has regularly been visited by natural
hazards, which in various cases have caused a significant amount
of damage. Damage is the negative result of the spatial and
temporal impact of an event on societal elements (people, buildings,
etc.), societal processes (interruption of production, services,
etc.) and the environment. Each country, at different governmental
levels (national, regional, local) have assessed damages caused
by natural hazards in some manner or other. There is a need
to establish a general and wider discussion on a common methodology
to estimate the damage of disasters. This requires an inter-disciplinary
approach to bring stakeholders together. As part of the NEDIES
Project (http://nedies.jrc.it) of the European Commission DG
Joint Research Centre, Institute for the Protection and Security
of the Citizen, and in collaboration with the University of
Twente, an initiative was launched to bring the civil protection
world together with that of the economists’, in order
to discuss about damage estimation and to exchange experiences
in this area. This was put together by both parties through
the co-organisation of a workshop entitled: In search of a
common methodology on damage estimation, which was held in
Delft, The Netherlands on 23-24 May 2003. |

En
una serie integrada por cinco volúmenes –uno por
cada país que integra la Comunidad Andina, más
otro a nivel regional-, estos libros muestran en detalle lo
que sucedió cuando se presentó este fenómeno
meteorológico en un período calificado de extraordinario
debido a la magnitud de las alteraciones. Igualmente, ofrecen
una visión de las principales amenazas que se encadenaron
al fenómeno y la capacidad para conocerlas y controlarlas,
así como una tipificación de los impactos socioeconómicos
y una cuantificación de los daños directos y
macroeconómicos. Como conclusión se recogen las
lecciones aprendidas y las políticas orientadas a reducir
las vulnerabilidades, incluyendo una propuesta de proyectos
de prevención, fortalecimiento institucional y reconstrucción
de los sectores más afectados en cada país.
