Response Summary (strengths and weaknesses)
System Strenghts Weaknesses
Early Warning
Establishment of the Local Commitees for Disaster Risk Management (LCDRM)
Limited equipment and resourses to support the creation of more LCDRM in most of the floods prone communities.
Existence of community based early warning systems for floods, cyclones and droughts
Due to inadequacy of funding, only very few vulnerable communities that live along the river basins have early warning systems,
Existence of community radios to support on the information dissemination
Limited human resources at Provincial and district levels
Short range forecast and weather warnings/alerts provided by Met Service and Water Directorate
Lack of hydro-meteorological stations along the main river banks
Coordination
Strong Government coordination and leadership staff mobilization within the government side
Well established coordination structures in both sides: Government and HCT;
Some partners bypassing the structuresMultisectorial and Decentralized coordination (CENOEs/ COEs, CTGCs) Limited understanding of the focal points of the
coordination mechanism Activated the On-site operations and coordination center (Mobile CENOE)
Limited understanding of the operations and the information flux
Response Summary (strengths and weaknesses)
System Strenghts Weaknesses
Information Management
Qualified human resources at national and provincial levels
Lack of qualified human resources at district and local levels
Well established information management flux Limited understanding of the information flux flowWell established inter-institutional information sharing for hazards monitoring Lack of technical capacity for hazards monitoringAllocation of human and material resources to the affected areas
Limited comunications due to power outage, road conditions…the relief operations were often built on insufficient information which resulted in some areas not covered by the humanitarian assistance
Funding
Government contingengy plan fundsLack of access to funds to support the district contingency plans
Allocation of the CERF funding Timely access to financial resources
National solidarity support
Support from SADC member statesSupport from international member states and partners
Challenges / Reflections:Challenges:
Lack of access to funds to support the district contingency plans
Getting specific data to support decision making
Equipment and capacity building (UNAPROC, CLGRC)
Involvement of academic sector for an adequate response to DRR
issues and CC Adaption measures,
Creation of a Common Fund for DRR and Disaster Vulnerability
Reduction
Reflections:Reinforce the alignment of DRR issues in the main public policies Support and allocate more funds for the simulation exercises before the rainy and cyclone season at regional, provincial and district levelsTimely access to financial resourcesCreation, training and capacity building for more LCDRM (first responders to extreme events)
Recommendations/Lessons learnt:
Recommendation Lessons Learnt Installation of simple community-based early warning systems and communication mechanisms It’s better to prevent than to remedy
Support development of hazard-specific or multi-hazard risk mapping
Local level DRM structures are critical in the implementation of disaster response
Creation of a Common Fund for DRR The Licungo floods increased awareness of communities on DRM and their roles and responsibilities
Urgent need of creation of Regulations to support the Law on DRR to support the country DRR objectives
The government should Promote the use of standard criteria for design, approval and implementation of infrastructure projects
Capacity-building support to government authorities responsible for DRR to enable them to mainstream into recovery planning. This may include technical advice and assistance, human resources, equipment and infrastructure
Encourage the revision or development of new zoning and land use regulations, building codes, rehabilitation and reconstruction practices at the national or local levels
Integrate DRR indicators into the recovery framework, including sectoral monitoring indicators
The traditional knowledge on early warning systems are one of the crucial tools that can be used to enhance early detection of pending hazards and possible evacuation
Promote development of contingency and emergency plans at the national and local levels
Coordination saves lives Awareness-raising campaigns at the local levels on DRR and/or disaster management, safe building practices, etc.
Collaboration and partnership among stakeholders at all levels are key in disaster response
Introduce course curriculum training programs on DRR in schools
Thank you for your Thank you for your attention!!!attention!!!
