Disaster Risk ManagementCaribbean DRM and CCA – Spatial Data to Inform Decision-Making Workshop

DIMENSIONS OF DRM:
Understanding Risk
Risk Reduction
Financial Protection/ Risk Transfer
Preparedness & Emergency Management
Resilient Reconstruction
3
Risk Identification
4
RISKExpo

Vulnerability
Hazard
Risk Identification
RISKExpo
sure
Vulnerability
5
Hazard
Dangerous phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury, property damage, loss of livelihoods, etc.
6
RISKExpo
sure
Vulnerability
Hazard
Assets (people, property etc.) present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential loss
7
RISKExpo
sure
Vulnerability
Hazard
The characteristics of an asset (community, system etc.) that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of
a hazard
8
RISKExpo
sure
Vulnerability
Hazard
The likelihood of damage, loss, injury or other negative
consequences of an event
9
• Collection of information on past events and past damages
→ Insights on the mechanisms (why, how, what the effects were etc.)
• Translate this understanding into a model
→ Where may future events take place, with what probability and what possible consequences could be
What type of analysis you choose depends very much on the use you want to give it…

risks
11
• Policies and laws (building codes, land use planning, etc.)
• Resettlement
• Retrofitting of buildings
• Hazard mitigation measures (Dams and seawalls, slope stabilization, reforestation, etc.)
• Legislative framework and actions to avoid the exacerbation of hazards
Can you avoid the risk?
Can you mitigate the risk?
Risk TransferCan you transfer the risk?
Yes
No
Yes
Yes
No
Risk Reduction
Financial protection – the impact will still take place
Financial liquidity directly after an event
Figure modified after UNISDR
Risk RetainingNo
13
• Early warning systems
• Shelter facilities and evacuation plans
• Stockpiling
• Networks of emergency responders
• Etc.
Build an emergency response and management capability before a disaster occurs
14
Rehabilitation and reconstruction
• Where to build (relocation of facilities, infrastructure and even entire villages/cities)
• How to build (building codes etc.)
“Build back better”

“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
• Understanding risk is the prerequisite for all further DRM activities
• There is not a “one size fits all” risk assessment – the type of information required depends on a multitude of factors
17
“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
One size DOESN’T fit all
The information you need/ the analyses you want to carry out depend on:
• Objective of the hazard/ vulnerability/ exposure/ risk analysis
• Temporal scale
• Spatial scale / area of interest
18
ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL
OBJECTIVE
Distribution of hazards
Distribution of risks
19
ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL
Prioritize interventions
Implement risk mitigation measures• Screening
• Initial assessment/ overview• Collection of detailed data• In-depth analysis
OBJECTIVE
20
ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL
TEMPORAL SCALE
21
ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL
SPATIAL SCALE
22
“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
HIGH DATA AND INFORMATION NEEDS:
• For direct use
• As input data for analyses
MULTITUDE OF ACTORS IS INVOLVED
23
“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
Precipitation
Land use
Soils
Topography
Discharge
FLOOD HAZARD ANALYSIS AS EXAMPLE:
24
“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE:
• Storage of data
• Management
• Visualization
• Sharing
25
“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
CRUCIAL PART OF THE SDI: METADATA
• Objective of the hazard/ vulnerability/ exposure/ risk analysis
• Temporal scale
• Spatial scale / area of interest
• Quality of the input data/ analysis
• Year of creation
• Etc.
26
“UNDERSTANDING RISK” AS BASIS
Be aware of limitations
• CLEARLY DEFINE WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
• MAKE THE MOST OUT OF ALL DATA AND INFORMATION THAT IS ALREADY AVAILABLE
• ¡BE AWARE OF LIMITATIONS!
• SEARCH FOR ADEQUATE WAYS TO COMPLEMENT WHAT YOU HAVE WITH WHAT YOU NEED
