Objectives |
The
Session will provide a forum for discussion, exchange views,
identify gaps, promote good practice and forge partnerships
to help governments reach agreement on risk reduction processes
in the health sector, which are vital to people's wellbeing
as well as to economic and social systems. Risk reduction
processes in the health sector also contribute to health
equity and the achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals. Key in this process is the activation of partnerships.
Brief
overview: The session aims to:
- Draw
attention to the fact that suffering and ill-health are
serious consequences resulting from lack of disaster
preparedness and effective response, that prevention
of disability, suffering and death due to disasters is
a fundamental goal for all health actors (government,
non-government, in-country, regional, global) and that
effective risk reduction measures reduces mortality and
morbidity related to disasters.
- Highlight
issues of governance and institutional and policy issues.
To this end, experts from Health Canada will present
an inter-operational approach to health emergencies while
respecting jurisdictional differences and priorities
to enhance the capacity of local authorities to prepare
for and respond to emergencies by fostering operational
bridges based on shared principles, guidelines and operating
procedures.
- Seek
optimal strategies for restoring people's health after
disaster. To this end, international experts in the field
of nursing will focus on the immediate as well as long-term
impact of disasters on people's physical and mental health.
|
|
|
Agenda: |
Brief presentations
on a) the vital importance of risk reduction in the health
sector, b) how this can be done and c) what strategies can
be adopted to make it work, will be followed by an interactive
debate on ways to help cope with and manage threats, with an
emphasis on national capacity at the country level, to ensure
critical gaps in health response are rapidly identified and
filled and to revitalize and build capacity of health systems
for preparedness and response. |

Objectives |
The
session aims at complementing the discussions in the intergovernmental
segment, mainly through the Thematic Cluster 4: Reducing
the Underlying Risk Factor.
Specifically,
the objective of the session is to:
- Exchange
experiences and good practices in understanding and reducing
vulnerabilities in health facilities, especially in developing
countries
- To
propose specific actions and indicators for disaster
risk reduction in Health Facilities during 2005-2015
- Help
strengthen networking and partnerships in health sector
for supporting implementation of disaster risk reduction
initiatives at regional and local levels
Brief
Overview of Subjects being Addressed
Disasters
have damaged health facilities. Thus the services are found
disrupted right at the time when they are the most needed.
Such a situation of disrupted health services was seen
during the Northridge Earthquake, which caused reduction
in the hospital service delivery by half in the affected
areas. Another example was during the Gujarat Earthquake
of 2001 in which most of the hospitals in Bhuj district
collapsed with total disruption of their services.
Isolated
initiatives have been successfully implemented in some developing
countries in assessing and reducing disaster risks to hospital
systems including their structure and services. These efforts
have yielded rich experiences that could be successfully employed
in other developing countries with some adaptation. Replication
of such good cases needs to be replicated. An organized approach
is felt necessary for encouraging the process of replication.
The Session aims to analyze the issues and challenges, and
to identify the suitable strategies for encouraging disaster
risk reduction in health facilities across the developing countries. |
|
|
Agenda: |
The
Session 4.2 will have two parts, namely, a) Presentation
of Experiences, and b) Plenary discussion. The Presentation
section will be a forum for sharing of experiences and approaches
on Vulnerability Reduction on health Facilities. The Plenary
discussion will try to look into the future of the efforts
and develop a consensus of approaches and recommendations
to the WCDR through the chairperson of the Thematic Cluster.

Objectives |
This
session addresses programs and instruments that combine both
physical and financial protection against extreme events,
and how to design these instruments so as to assure equitable
and efficient sharing of the financial burdens of extreme
events.
Theme:
Disasters are generally seen in terms of their social and physical
destruction, and rarely understood to be a result of underlying
deficiencies in the economic and financing infrastructure of
the affected region. This session will explore this issue through
a panel discussion of experts drawn from developing economies,
international agencies, academia and global insurers, with
the objective to develop partnerships for the implementation
of new mechanisms for enhancing the joint financial and physical
mitigation of disasters. These new mechanisms link financial
instruments (disaster insurance and/or other financial protections
such as contingency credit) with funding for tangible risk
reduction (eg, physical construction, early warning systems
and other means of reducing the physical and social vulnerability).
The result is a single combined mechanism that has two tranches:
financial protection and physical protection, which vary during
the life of the instrument, as one form of protection replaces
the other. This is a new concept, and has high potential in
developing economies for reducing the impacts of natural disasters.

Outcome
and Partnering: The outcome of the Thematic
Session is anticipated to be a new awareness of the need
for integrated risk reduction programs, which optimally
provide both physical and financial protection for disasters.
This awareness should serve to foster partnering between
those concerned with physical aspects of disaster risk,
and those concerned with financial aspects.

The
SLF/AIR session will bring together all the relevant stakeholders
- the public sector and civil society, the international
community, and the private sector. SLF and AIR's session
will explore possible roles for the private sector in disaster
finance and risk reduction. The session is coordinated with
the IIASA/World Bank/Kyoto University parallel session, which
will address disaster finance from the public sector perspective.
- Discuss
the experience of using tools provided by the private
sector, such as insurance and other financial services,
to reduce disaster risk in these countries.
- Discuss
the challenges and opportunities for disaster risk transfer
and risk reduction schemes that involve the private sector.
- With
relevant stakeholders represented in the panel and audience,
outline the concrete steps that need to be taken (and
by whom) to improve disaster finance in developing countries.
The messages will underscore the need for effective partnerships
and suggest action that can facilitate such cooperation.
Special attention will be paid to how the private sector
could feasibly become involved in helping manage and
transfer disaster risk in developing countries.

Overview
of subjects addressed: |
The purpose
of SLF and AIR’s parallel session is to discuss the
experience of using tools provided by the private sector,
such as insurance and other financial services, and to outline
concrete steps to use insurance and financial services for
disaster risk reduction in developing countries.
The main
focus of the panel discussion (following the speakers) is
to summarize the gaps, challenges, and concrete next steps
to improve disaster finance and risk reduction in developing
countries. Each panelist will address a specific issue (prepared
and briefed in advance), remarks which will last 2 to 3 minutes.
Following the panelists comments, the discussion will be
opened to audience questions. It is hoped that the discussion
will culminate in a roadmap of concrete steps that must be
taken (and by whom) to engage the private sector in disaster
finance schemes.
Who
should attend this parallel session (stakeholders
and audience):
- Public
sector: disaster management authorities from the national
and local levels, representatives from finance ministries,
representatives of community groups involved in disaster
management at the local level
- International
community: International finance institutions (IFIs), United
Nations, NGOs, research institutions

communities
- To emphasize the role played by the private sector in disaster
risk management |
|
|
Overview: |
The session
will highlight the role that comprehensive environmental
management can play in reducing the risk of disasters, and
to mitigate the consequences if they should nevertheless
occur - both on human lives and on the broader ecology. It
will explore the link between environmental systems and disasters,
and also the synergies between man-made and natural disasters.
The session
will specifically examine the need for a multi-stakeholder
partnership that links local governments, private sector
entities, and civil society organizations in order to facilitate
more effective disaster prevention and mitigation. It will
compare successful partnership models between corporations,
communities and the government, examining the way entities
prepare for disasters themselves, as well as the need to
be part of a larger partnership that strengthens local
communities' ability to prevent, mitigate and recover from
disasters.

|
|
Objectives |
- identify
the key problems in policies and implementation mechanism
towards safer building/housing dealing with new construction
as well as retrofitting of large stock of existing vulnerable
houses
- formulate
policy to achieve the desired safety in and develop set
of actions for reducing the risk of disasters owing to
current unsafe construction practice in building houses
to undertake in next ten years.
- recommend
appropriate strategy for developing and implementing region/country
specific building codes that ensure safety against disasters.
Brief
overview of the theme
For protecting
people's lives against disasters, particularly in earthquakes,
the most effective measure would be to build safer houses.
Earthquakes in last decades including 1995 Great Hansin-Awaji
Earthquake underlined the importance of the safer housing.
While building codes should certainly ensure the safety
of new construction, there is need for addressing the problem
of large stock of existing vulnerable houses. The rules,
regulation and codes should properly address the region/country
specific practices, opportunities, limitations and problems.
Moreover, promoting safer building construction may not
be achieved only through efforts on controlling by codes
and regulation but also a bottom-up approach where convincing
the house-owners on safety issues, providing easy technology
to the local craftsmen should be accompanied with. In this
context, integrating safety in housing construction requires
a comprehensive strategy that includes implementation of
building codes, public awareness programs, informal trainings
and education programs at the community levels. This is
particularly relevant to the case of non-engineered construction
which shares major portion of the housing construction
in the world.
These
issues will be discussed in World Conference on Disaster
Reduction (WCDR) during thematic session on "Policies for
Safer Building/Housing" under the cluster 4 "Reducing the
underlying risk factor".
The issues
of discussion in the session will be
- Current
practice of housing construction and building codes in
different regions/countries and their specific characteristics
- Underlying
risks of the practice and their causes
- Analysis
of proper approaches to address the problem including
technological advancement, development of appropriate
building codes, ensuring the implementation of rules,
regulation and codes, community awareness, technology
transfer etc
- Formulation
of proper strategy and plan of action
- Lesson
learned and account of best practices

Objectives |
The value
of focusing efforts to enhance the resilience of infrastructure
against extreme events (natural disasters, technological
disasters, and acts of terrorism against our society) has
been long recognized, and has certainly risen in recent years
following an increase in the threat from terrorism. To address
this emerging need, a substantial research effort will be
needed. The development of innovative and integrated solutions
toward this goal will benefit from the input from experts
from a large number of various disciplines. In that perspective,
some research results from the fields of civil protection
and earthquake engineering could be modified to contribute
to this objective. Civil protection investigations and earthquake
engineering research have provided theoretical and practical
solutions to address the needs for: (i) Risk and vulnerability
assessment, including the development of risk and vulnerability
assessment methodologies, to prioritize the allocation of
limited resources; (ii) System analysis and design, to investigate
the ultimate behavior of systems and foster capacity-design
principles for fail-safe outcomes; (iii) Improved materials,
to enhance the ability of infrastructure components and systems
to withstand hazards; (iv) Sensing technologies, for structural
health monitoring, with possible applications for detection,
surveillance and prevention; (v) Post-event assessment, including
the use of remote sensing (airborne or satellite-based) to
rapidly locate areas impacted by a disaster, the type of
damage suffered, and rapid assessment of losses; (vi) Post-event
on-site screening methodologies, to assess safety of structures
after an event using simple tools based on expert knowledge;
(vii) Advanced technologies for repair and restoration following
an event, or retrofitting prior to an event; (viii) Evaluation
test-beds, to test and validate new technologies proposed
to achieve the above objectives.
The objective
of this thematic session is to show vulnerabilities, and to
review some of these solutions and the opportunities afforded
by existing advancements and developments made in the fields
of civil protection and earthquake engineering in each of the
above categories, and to provide an overview of modifications
possible to some of these tools to help address the broader
extreme event and multi-hazard problems. Focus is placed on
selected critical infrastructure systems and interdependencies
among them. |
