  1. Civil-Military Cooperation- experiences from India COMMUNITY MANAGED DISASTER RISK REDUCTION (CMDRR) CARE. ACT. SHARE. LIKE CORDAID.

  2. MARCH 2015 SENDAI CORDAIDS DRR INTERVENTIONS

  3. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION Strength of Armed Forces

  4. MARCH 2015 – SENDAI Strength of Armed Forces Only country which has dedicated armed force for “Disaster response” called NDRF (National Disaster Response Force) 12 raised battalions: 1249 soldiers strength in each battalion Spread all over the country covering almost all hazard locations

  5. Sufficient Resources- not dependent on external world, sufficient logistics of all types (including Aerial) Pre-positioned/located in remote areas Trained force- search and Kill (Search and Rescue) + medical Effective institutional arrangement is at place (National- State- District)

  6. Concept of “Civil Military Liason Conferences”- but personality driven at times Constitutional obligation- to save people of country

  7. Challenges

  8. MARCH 2015 – SENDAI Challenges Limited engagement with Civilians, sometimes purposeful distance from public Only “event based” dialogues with civil administration- more need based Low engagement with Civil society/NGOs, even if there is, via administration

  9. For armed forces, NGOs bring lot on table Local knowledge Connect with community Understanding of Language Mapping of area/Minute detailing Trained people- teachers/volunteers/retired staff

  10. What is required now

  11. Efforts need to be there for: Continuous dialogues- Civil-Military-Private sector Trust building- acknowledge and work on each others strengths Institutionalization of “mechanisms” especially at “bottom” level- engagement/working mechanisms/role clarity/accountability More “working together” during peace time

  12. Thank you
