  2. Issues in This Presentation • Why WMO and NMHS are critical in DRM and vice versa • International Movement in DRM and HFA • Relevance of HFA to NMHS and WMO => Five Strategic Thrusts of WMO DPM • Progress with WMO DPM Programme implementation • Goals of First DPM Coordination meeting

  3. Number of Disasters (Global, 1980-2005) Source: EM-DAT: The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database - www.em-dat.net - Université Catholique de Louvain - Brussels - Belgium Nearly 90% of disasters are related to hydro-meteorological factors.

  4. Loss of Human Life (Global, 1980-2005) Source: EM-DAT: The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database - www.em-dat.net - Université Catholique de Louvain - Brussels - Belgium Nearly 70% of loss of life are related to hydro-meteorological factors

  5. Economic Losses (Global, 1980-2005) Source: EM-DAT: The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database - www.em-dat.net - Université Catholique de Louvain - Brussels - Belgium Nearly 75% of economic losses are related to hydro-meteorological factors

  6. At the core of NMHS and WMO missions is protection of lives and livelihoods of the communities. WMO and NMHSs provide critical infrastructure and information to support decision processes for disaster risk reduction at international, regional and national levels

  7. International Developments in DRM • World Conference on Disaster Reduction (Kobe, Japan, January 2005) • 168 countries participated in the drafting and adopted Hyogo Framework for Action 2005 - 2015(HFA) • Shifting the paradigm of DRM towards planning and preventions • Development planning is an integral part of DRM • HFA provides outcomes that needs to be achieved at international, regional and national levels • G8 Summit and UN General Assembly (2005, 2006) • Need for strengthening EWS in support of disaster risk management • Reform of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) System • Will ensure stronger coordination and collaborations among the international and regional agencies in support of national capacities. • WMO is a critical player through the new ISDR Management Oversight Board and Global Platform for Disaster Reduction • Third International Early Warning Conference • Global Early Warning Survey (Co-chaired by WMO and OCHA)

  8. Latest Developments in Disaster Risk Management and HFA Aim to Shift Paradigm from Post Disaster Response to a Comprehensive Approach with Strong focus on Prevention and Preparedness

  9. Hyogo Framework for Action (Doc. 7) • Provides priorities for action 2005 – 2015 for entire DRM • Five Priority areas specified • Key activities outlined for each of the five priority areas • Implementation and Follow up • States • Regional Organizations • International Organizations • ISDR Process • Resource Mobilization

  10. Five Priority Areas of HFA (Doc 7.0) • Governance: organizational, legal and policy frameworks • Risk identification, assessment, monitoring and early warning • Knowledge management and education • Reducing underlying risk factors • Preparedness for effective response and recovery Need to Map WMO and NMHS Role (active, contributing) on HFA to determine main strategic thrusts of WMO DPM Programme

  11. Prioritization of HFA Priorities For Action and Relevant to WMO and NMHS Mandates and Contributions WMO Priorities: 1: Risk identification, assessment, monitoring and early warning 2: Knowledge management and education 3: Preparedness for effective response and recovery 4: Reducing underlying risk factors 5: Governance: organizational, legal and policy frameworks Mapping of WMO and NMHSs Role on HFA Leads to Five Strategic Thrusts for DPM Programme Operating Plan

  12. Five Strategic Thrusts of WMO DPM Programme Operating Plan ST1 Systems improvements in support of observing, detecting, monitoring, forecasting and warnings, and global telecommunications ST2 Strengthening contributions to risk assessment for different sectoral applications ST3 Strengthening contributions to disaster risk management with strong focus on prevention and preparedness • Long- and medium-term sectoral planning • Early warning systems • Risk transfer mechanisms ST4 Strengthening of organizational mechanisms vertically and horizontally • International • Regional • National • Local ST5 WMO governance and organizational mechanisms across Members, RAs, TCs and Programmes to facilitate WMO DPM operating plan implementation

  13. Implementation of HFA provides significant opportunities for mainstreaming WMO and NMHS national disaster management and development planning…

  14. Progress with WMO Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Programme

  15. Implementation of DPM Programme • Congress XIV established the WMO Crosscutting DPM Programme (June 2003) (Doc 3) • EC Advisory Group on DPM (EC AG DPM) established by EC-LVI (June 2004) (Doc 4) • First Meeting of EC AG DPM (March 2005) • DPM Implementation Plan approved by EC-LVII (June 2005) (Doc 5) • DPM Crosscutting framework approved by EC – LVIII (Doc 6) • Preparations for Congress XV underway

  16. DPM ProgrammeCrosscutting Framework (EC LVIII: Doc 6) • Enhance contributions of NMHSs, in a more cost-effective, systematic and sustainable manner, towards improvement of safety and security of communities. • Identify WMO DPM Programme strategic priorities that would be implemented through crosscutting projects that are measurable with respect to their benefits and outcomes • Implement concrete national, regional and global projects through Technical Commissions, Regional Structures, Members, and partners • Monitor and measure progress

  17. Preparations for Congress XV (May 2007) • Policy recommendations for governance, operational and Member Interventions aspects of WMO structure to facilitate crosscutting activities • Roles, responsibilities and structuring of TCs, RAs, Programmes, PTC, Secretariat in this new crosscutting framework • WMO DPM Programme Operating Plan
