(f) Disaster management

The secretariat of ISDR uses satellite imagery in disaster risk reduction.

1. Disaster management team

A review of this programme of work would be undertaken on the basis of the findings in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, which will be available in 2007.

(d) Disaster risk reduction diminishes the need for humanitarian emergency interventions in the aftermath of disasters

Improved information and communications technology risk management

(b) Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and enhance early warning

There is an evolutionary approach from response and relief to disaster risk reduction.

India set up its national disaster management authority to strengthen the national and institutional legislative system to deal with disaster risk reduction.

Disaster management training programme

New developments include partnerships in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to promote disaster risk reduction and to design subregional common policies on disaster risk reduction.

Recognizing also the need to integrate a gender perspective in the design and implementation of all phases of disaster risk reduction management, with a view to reducing vulnerability,

(vi) Space system based disaster management support

(b) Africa the Disaster Management Centre (Cranfield, United Kingdom), backstopping the coordinator for Africa of the disaster management training programme, based at Addis Ababa

In support of this, UNDP will deploy national disaster risk reduction advisers to assist national efforts in capacity building for disaster risk reduction in 20 of the most disaster prone countries of the world.

(v) Space system based disaster management support

(v) Space system based disaster management support

(c) Continued implementation of the Disaster Management Training Programme

The Participatory Disaster Management Programme has helped to create public awareness and strengthen national disaster management capacities.

We reaffirm the vital role of the United Nations system in disaster risk reduction.

Recognizing that disaster risk reduction is a cross cutting issue in the context of sustainable development,

Recognizing that disaster risk reduction is a cross cutting issue in the context of sustainable development,

Changes in global climate patterns and the frequency of extreme weather events have increased the threat of natural disasters.

The programme on water related disaster risk management links the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action, adopted at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction (Kobe, Japan, January 2005), to the Water for Life Decade.

Recognizing further that certain measures for disaster risk reduction in the context of the Hyogo Framework for Action can also support adaptation to climate change, and emphasizing the importance of strengthening the resilience of nations and communities to natural disasters through disaster risk reduction programmes,

Recognizing that disaster risk reduction is a cross cutting issue in the context of sustainable development,

A more comprehensive and coordinated approach to disaster management needs to be developed.

Building space based systems specifically to support disaster management

Recognizing the clear relationship between development, disaster risk reduction, disaster response and disaster recovery and the need to continue to deploy efforts in all these areas,

Recognizing also the clear relationship between development, disaster risk reduction, disaster response and disaster recovery and the need to deploy efforts in all these areas,

Recognizing also the clear relationship between development, disaster risk reduction, disaster response and disaster recovery and the need to continue to deploy efforts in all these areas,

(d) A gender perspective should be integrated into all disaster risk management policies, plans and decision making processes, including those related to risk assessment, early warning, information management, and education and training

Recognizing, in that regard, that unnecessary loss of life and property could be avoided if better information were available regarding the risk and onset of disasters, through improved risk assessment, early warning and monitoring of disasters,

Initiatives are under way in Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chad, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Madagascar, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Senegal, Seychelles, the United Republic of Tanzania and Uganda to review national disaster risk reduction plans and to strengthen or create national platforms in support of broader national policy initiatives and the development of sustainable institutional systems to deal with disaster risk.

(a) Ensure that disaster risk reduction is a national and a local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation

They also emphasized that adaptation to climate change in reducing disaster risk was a priority.

We recognize that the international community has accumulated much experience with disaster risk reduction through the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction and the succeeding International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

Natural disaster management was a huge challenge for the countries concerned and the Subcommittee had therefore examined the possibility of creating an international space coordination entity for disaster management.
