10
Lessons Learnt
  • Need to reduce vulnerability to hazard impacts
  • Need to build resilience in Caribbean communities

11
  • How do we achieve this?

12
COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
  • GOAL
  • The overarching goal to which the Comprehensive
    Disaster Management Strategy will contribute is
    sustainable development in the Caribbean.

13
COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
  • STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE
  • Comprehensive Disaster Management is integrated
    into the development processes in CDERA member
    countries.

14
COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
  • Integrate vulnerability reduction considerations
    into planning and development
  • Integrated management of all hazards
  • Management of all phases of Disaster Management
    Cycle
  • Prevention and Mitigation
  • Preparedness and Response
  • Recovery and Restoration/Rehabilitation

15
COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
  1. To achieve the CDM objective, the strategy will
    need to promote a culture of safety enlisting a
    broad coalition of interested partners
    governments,insurance and banking institutions,
    schools, churches.

16
COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
  • Key Outcomes
  • IR 1 - Stronger regional and national
    institutions promote CDM
  • IR 2 - Research, education and training support
    CDM
  • IR 3 - Major regional institutions and donors
    incorporate CDM in their own programmes and
    promote CDM to their national members/clients

17
COMPREHENSIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT
  • IR 4 - Preparedness, response and mitigation
    capability is enhanced and integrated
  • IR 5 - Hazard information is incorporated into
    development planning and decision making

18
SPECIFIC IR 4 LINKAGES
  • IR 4.1 Disaster Management Legislation supports
    CDM
  • IR 4.4 Lifelines and Critical Infrastructure
    are protected with mitigation measures
    shelters, retrofitting
  • IR 4.5 Mitigation included in response recovery
    reconstruction actions

19
SPECIFIC IR 5 LINKAGES
  • IR 5.1 Physical planning includes consideration
    of hazard and vulnerability information

20
How are these objectives to be achieved?
  • Institutional partnerships partnerships with
    stakeholders Eg. CHAMP TCGs
  • ID opportunities for collaboration building
    synergies between initiatives
  • National regional level - Building a culture of
    safety
  • Integration of activities into national level
    initiatives
