GDLN Seminar Summary: Strengthening Disaster Risk Management in East Asia and the Pacific (June 26, 2009)

Core Content

The seminar focused on Community-Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) as a critical component of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in Viet Nam and the Philippines. It emphasized the need for local-level implementation, capacity-building, and institutionalization of DRM strategies to enhance community resilience against natural disasters.

Key Topics Discussed

1. Implementation of DRM and Capacity-building at the Local Level

Viet Nam: CBDRM initiatives began in the 1990s, initially led by NGOs. A government-led program is expected to launch later in 2009, covering at least 6,000 communities and potentially expanding to 10,000 by 2020.
Philippines: CBDRM efforts started in the 1980s, but were formalized in 2003 through a conference involving NGOs and the government. A strategic plan was published in 2007 to integrate CBDRM into sustainable development. A second national meeting on CBDRM was planned for September 2009.
Pilot Projects: Both countries have implemented pilot projects since 2006. In Viet Nam, the Natural Disaster Risk Management Project was active in three provinces (stage 1) and four additional provinces (stage 2). In the Philippines, Dagupan City was selected as a pilot for community-level DRM, with technical support from the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC).

2. Objectives and Challenges in Institutionalizing and Mainstreaming DRM

Objectives:
- Strengthen the capacities of 100% of officials at all levels.
- Train more than 70% of citizens in disaster-prone communities by 2020.
- Integrate DRR into development plans, education, and socio-economic strategies.
- Promote a "Culture of Safety" and early-warning systems.
Challenges:
- Decentralization and institutionalizing DRM at the local level require coordination among multiple departments and agencies.
- Developing a comprehensive legal framework and ensuring government commitment to implementation.
- Shifting from current practices to include safer community plans in broader socio-economic planning.
- Ensuring community participation and ownership of DRM initiatives.

Main Recommendations

Decentralize DRM administration to local levels.
Pool information and experience during project implementation to improve efficiency.
Customize assistance to meet the specific needs of communities.
Encourage community involvement in decision-making and DRM planning.
Integrate DRR into development policies, including education, livelihoods, and climate change strategies.
Utilize local resources and indigenous knowledge to enhance resilience and preparedness.

Key Achievements

Viet Nam

Completed work in 10 communities across 3 provinces (Ha Tinh, Thua Thien Hue, Ben Tre) by March 2009.
Trained 2,670 personnel.
Developed 10 "safer village" and community plans.
Completed 10 clusters of small disaster mitigation works.
Similar activities are ongoing in 7 additional provinces, expected to be completed by December 2009.

Dagupan City, Philippines

Implemented DRM in 8 out of 31 districts (barangays).
Conducted evacuation drills at barangay and city levels.
Introduced indigenous knowledge into disaster planning, such as evacuation plans and early-warning systems.
Launched waste segregation, mangrove rehabilitation, and disaster awareness education for 55,000 students.
Established a 24-hour emergency operations center.
Activities are planned to be replicated in other barangays and cities.

Conclusion

The seminar highlighted the importance of community involvement, capacity-building, and decentralization in effective DRM. The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) was recognized as a pivotal tool in promoting these efforts. The need for national legislation, coordinated implementation, and integration of DRR into broader development strategies was emphasized as essential for long-term resilience.
