  2. About CADRI Inter-agency initiative of UNDP, UNISDR, and OCHA to support the three organizations to deliver as “one” for capacity development for disaster risk reduction. Launched in June 2007. CADRI succeeds the former Disaster Management Training Programme (1991-2006). Main Objective: To advance knowledge and practice for the Development of sustainable disaster risk reduction capacities. CADRI provides the following services: advice on capacity development issues, training and facilitation, tools and materials development, knowledge exchange and networking.

  3. AWARNESS RAISING/TRAINING Package 1. An overview of the HFA, followed by an overview on urban risk. 2. Presentation and discussion on the 10 points list and show examples on how the different points could be implement. In this section, examples from various cities could be presented (where possible by other cities’ representatives). 3. Present shortly the campaign “My city is getting ready!” and discuss how the campaign can help advance DRR at local and national levels. 4. Get participants to decide on 2 to 3 priorities that they would like to focus on and potentially get support to implement them.

  4. PACKAGE 1 Audience: political leaders: Mayors together with National authorities, NGOs, civil society. Objective: to trigger a discussion between local government and National level authorities on issues that need to be worked out to support local authorities implement DRR. Shape of section 2: The 10 points are not detailed but used to trigger discussion on opportunities/constraints to possibly implement them in their own environment. Champions could be invited to present good practices on “political commitment and good decision making”.

  5. Discuss HFA and urban risk • Quick overview of the Hyogo Framework for Action • Global trends in the local situation of urbanisation • Global trends related to Natural Disaster events • Drivers of urban growth and its relationship with disaster vulnerability of urban communities • Contributory factors for progression of vulnerability? • Possible areas for Mainstreaming DRR for reducing the disaster risk considering the service functions of the urban local governments

  6. PACKAGE 2 Audience : technicians working at city level DRR/DM. Objective : to raise awareness, with practical examples on how the 10 points can be implemented at city level. Shape of section 2 : technicians from participating cities are presented 3 to 4 ways to possibly implement each of the 10 points. There will be groups works trying to come up with proposals for actions for the near future. “Champions” could be invited to share experiences on how some of the 10 points were effectively implemented in their own city. 

  7. IMPLEMENTING THE 10 POINTS LIST Make Disaster Risk Reduction a Priority (HFA 1) 1. Put in place organization to deal with disaster risk within the local government in coordination with all sectors, based on participation of citizen groups andcivil society 2. Assign budget for disaster risk reduction, with incentives for prevention actions and for low-income families to reduce risks in their housing and environment 3. Identify safe land for low-income citizens in urban development plans

  8. IMPLEMENTING THE 10 POINTS LIST Know the Risks and Take Action (HFA 2) 4. Maintain updated data on hazards and vulnerabilities, prepare risk assessments and use these as basis for urban development plans and decisions, and easily available for the public Build Understanding and Awareness (HFA 3) 5. Have education programmes on disaster risk reduction in place in schools and local communities Reduce Risk (HFA 4) 6. Invest in and maintain infrastructure that reduce risk, such as flood drainage

  9. IMPLEMENTING THE 10 POINTS LIST 7. Apply risk compliant building regulations and land use planning norms appropriate to the needs and possibilities of low income citizens 8. Assess the safety of all schools and health facilities and upgrade as necessary 9. Protect ecosystems and natural buffers to mitigate floods, storm surges and other hazards. Adapt to climate change building on risk reduction practices Be Prepared and Ready to Act (HFA 5) 10. Install early warning systems and emergency management capacities, with regular public drills

The package is proposed to a given country where Representatives from many cities/local governments from that specific country are invited to attend. (Package 1) 3.
