  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
