Jakarta, IndonesiaKey challenges, solutions and good practices

• Vietnamese has approved number of legal documents, including laws, government decrees,

decisions, standards, methodologies… BUT not yet a national Integrated Framework on Flood

Management in Urban Area. Most of mentioned above documents focus on Flood Management in

general; by that, some articles in some Laws refer related tasks concerning to flood management.

• The Law on Water Resources (2012): consider Flood is one of challenges due to climate change

impact in the country; not focus directly to flood in urban area; the state will invest and control the

implementation for basic investigation, plan, set up the monitoring system, information system and

database, improve the forecasting capacity for flood (MONRE); most of constructions project must

not block the flow and fit standards for flood prevention; water conveyance to other basin; reservoir

operation in emergency;

• Law on Urban Planning (2009): including ensure the ground level for natural disaster (flood).

• Decision No.1590/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister on approving Irrigation Master Plan until 2020,

the Government decided the aim to increase the insurance of drainage, flood protection and

prevention to adapt with climate change and seawater rise. For urban area: complete dyke system

VIETNAM Integrated Urban Flood Management - Vision and Objectives

• So far, MARD has approved 34 Irrigation Plan/Integrated water

utilization/Water development and Protection Plan/River basin water

plans in most of huge river basins in the country or submit to Prime

Minister’s Decision to approve 03 regional water use plan in which

refer to flood protection measures/plan including the following cities:

Ho Chi Minh, city, Vinh Long City, CaMau City and Can Tho city.

• Recently, in the Framework of Jica Project on Increasing the

Natural Disaster Resilience Capacity in middle Region of Vietnam,

the Project has help Thua Thien Hue Province to develop an

Integrated Flood Management to 2010 in Huong river Basin:

integrate social activities, land use plan to build up resilience

community to climate change and propose list of structural and non-

structural measurements.4

VIETNAM Integrated Urban Flood Management -Key challenges, solutions and good practices

• Current WB engagement: P149149 Southeast Asia Disaster Risk Management Project (pipeline); The Mekong River Integrated Management Project (P104806); and DRM TA

• Overall objectives: To promote better preparedness and management of flood risks, including the rehabilitation, strengthening and flood-proofing of infrastructure, including river embankments, flood gates, dredging, and drainage systems, and the enhancement of early warning systems.

• Indicators:

• Increased coverage of hazard forecast and improved last-mile early warning messages to population at risk.

• Policy-framework improved and capacity for integrating flood risk management into national and regional planning and strategies improved.

• Hydrometeorological observation and monitoring networks strengthened.

• Improved regional coordination on flood risk management, such as i) Building the resilience of regional economic corridors; ii) Developing and exchanging common approaches to managing risk; iii) Data sharing and forecasting; and iv) Risk pooling through the establishment of a regional disaster risk financing mechanism.

• Increased community-level engagement in flood risk management.

• Strengthened financial resilience to secure immediate liquidity for response and recovery

Lao PDR: Integrated Urban Flood Management -Vision and Objectives

• Flood response remains ad-hoc, with limited long term preparatory action, and DRM in the country awaits comprehensive development.

• The Mekong River Integrated Management Project (P104806) includes flood risk management investment on priority river basins. The Mekong River Integrated management Project In Vientiane improves the sand embankment, slope protection.

• There is also the Donsao – Bankaun River bank Protection Project.

• There are also efforts to develop a drainage system the city of Vientiane on planned drainage system based on an action plan from 2002.

• Proposed Southeast Asia Disaster Risk Management Project would include select flood risk management investment, including in Oudomxay Province, and strengthen hydromet and EWS

• Roads and urban areas: Roads are continuously being damaged by landslides and floods. Growing cities are struggling to keep up demand for infrastructure including drainage infrastructure.

• Legal/regulatory: Lao PDR’s 8th NSEDP (2016-2020, being prepared) foresees and outcome of “Reduced effects of natural shocks and climate change and sustainable management of natural resources.” Mainstreaming and enhancing communities’ capacities on disaster and CC resilience are also foreseen in draft MONRE’s 2030 Vision and 5-year Strategy. Lao PDR does not currently have a strategy or policy to manage the financial impact of disasters.

• Financing: DRM spending is still reactive with the majority of funds allocated after disasters.

• Capacity: There is a need for capacity building for line ministries and agencies involved in flood risk management at the central and targeted sub-national level

• Climate change: Water-related vulnerability will be exacerbated. Floods and droughts are expected to become more frequent and intense. Temperatures, annual rainfall, and runoff are likely to increase, leading to augmented economic losses.

Honiara, Solomon IslandsOngoing Activities and programs

Key challenges:

• A shortage of available land in Honiara, which, combined with rapid population growth and rural to urban migration, is driving unmanaged growth of informal settlements on marginal land including high hazard floodplains and steep slopes

• The limited reach of formal land use planning and development controls and weak implementation e.g. uncontrolled filling of floodplains, which is suspected of worsening flooding elsewhere

• Limited capacity to implement legislation and policy including watershed management

• Minimal hydrological data for calibration of flood models, due to vandalism of infrastructure

• Limited finances for DRR given other priorities (e.g. poverty alleviation, health, education)

• Institutional management of flood risk characterized by ‘silos’ rather than integration

• Propensity for intense rain (probably exacerbated by climate change) and fast rising, debris-laden floods presents a challenge for effective flood warning systems

• Highly dynamic river channels presents a challenge to engineering solutions to flooding and riverbank erosion

Honiara, Solomon IslandsKey challenges, solutions and good practices

Solutions:

• To be assessed and confirmed through the Honiara Flood Risk Management Study and Plan, including…

• Understand flood risk through hydrologic and hydraulic modelling and urban growth survey

• Modify the flood and erosion hazard through watershed management, riverbank protection works at Chinatown, bridge design, reducing the disposal of solid waste in creeks, possible works at Henderson Airport

• Modify exposure and vulnerability through provision of new serviced subdivisions that target low- and middle-income groups, voluntary resettlement from very dangerous locations, review of guidelines for hazard-resilient housing

• Modify short-term responses through provision of effective, sustainable flash flood warning systems, improving the flood readiness of communities, constructing hazard-resilient evacuation shelters where gaps identified

• Enhanced institutional coordination

• Greater Antananarivo Integrated Urban Development and Resilience Project (P159756) | IDA $40million

• Objective is to improve the living conditions of poor and vulnerable people in the Greater Antananarivo area, while building the resilience of the city. This will be achieve through a mix of soft investments (municipal administrative modernization/capacity building), infrastructure (flood protection, storm-water drainage, solid waste) and livelihoods/economic development.

• Indicators to measure success: harmonized institutional framework for Integrated Urban Water Management, successful structural investments made, non-structural measure implemented (indicators will be developed during project preparation)

Greater Antananarivo, Madagascar Integrated Urban Flood Management - Vision and Objectives

• Two on-going ASAs, "Urban Poverty and Resilience Study in Antananarivo" (P156547) and the "Fostering integrated urban water management of Greater Antananarivo (P157539)", implemented respectively by the Social, Urban, Rural and Resilience Global Practice and the Water Global Practice.

• Analysis of (i) the spatial distribution of poverty in Antananarivo; (ii) the availability of infrastructure, access to basic services, as well as the incidence of natural hazards in those poor areas; (iii) assessment of the situation on urban poor urban storm water drainage; (iv) assessment of solid waste management systems and recommendations for improving SWM and canal management; (v) analysis of urban sprawl and its implication for flood risks; and (vi) the ability of the poor to protect against risk, and cope with disasters

• Through these analytical works, the Bank intends: to identify policy actions that have a high potential to improve the quality of life and increase the resilience of the poor in Antananarivo; to enable stakeholders in Antananarivo to improve their management of the urban water cycle through an integrated urban water management framework and planning process; and to inform the national government and municipal authorities on how to better target and finance poverty reduction programs.

Greater Antananarivo, MadagascarOngoing Activities and programs

• Fast urbanization of Madagascar and particularly its capital city Antananarivo (~3 million; +120,000 migrants/year)

• Unplanned urban growth (50% growth of the built-up areas from 2003 to 2013) with settlement in flood risk areas (2% on average and up to 50% for some municipalities)

Greater Antananarivo, MadagascarKey challenges, solutions and good practices

1990 2000 2010

• Low access to housing, low services provision, increasing congestion

• Lack of drainage and inadequate solid waste (1,100T of waste/day, of which 30% does not make it

to the landfill) and waste-water management (non functional some part of the network)

• Lack of maintenance of flood protection infrastructure, landfilling in flood plain, etc.

• Institutional fragmentation, with different actors working on the same drainage network and

some agencies (in charge of waste water management) under technical and financial tutelage of

different ministries/municipality

• January-February 2015 flooding event in the city resulted in damages to infrastructure

estimated at MGA 357 billion (>$100M), or 1.1% of GDP, and recovery needs estimated at MGA

844 billion (>$250M)
