Global Risk Identification Program: Data and technical assistance needs DPM First Coordination Meeting of WMO Programmes and Constituent Bodies Maxx Dilley Policy Advisor UNDP Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery
Outline • The role of evidence in disaster risk management • Global Risk Identification Program (GRIP) • Hydrometeorological data and technical support inputs • Summary
Strategic Alignment • Identification of high risk areas and risk factors that cause disasters (foreseeable risk) • Hyogo Framework for Action Priority 2 • Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks • UNDP/BCPR Strategy for Disaster Prevention • common understanding of crises established • joint stakeholder risk assessment conducted
Strategic Alignment • Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction • service line 1: analytical and advisory services • risk identification • service line 2: institutional capacity building • national risk and loss information & applications • service line 3: training and capacity building • IABD Disaster Prevention Sector Facility • risk identification and forecasting to understand and quantify vulnerability and disaster risk
GRIP Outcome Areas and approximate numbers of associated project activities Global Update • Demonstrations: • Mozambique • Sri Lanka • Nicaragua 4-5 6-12 Data improvement Risk info platform Methods Publication Capacity Core 1-3 Development 4-5 High Resolution Risk Analyses In High Risk Countries Loss Data 1-3 Loss data portal GLIDE Databases Assessments 4-7 Criteria: 1. Risk outcome 2. Decision support 3. Scientific 4. Local experts/authorities 10-15
Global hazard data Global drought and flood data sets
Application and problem • Global risk update • Drought and flood hazard data sets are the most important and the weakest of all hazards!
Disaster loss event databases Hazard identification and GLIDE
Application and problem • Tracking disaster losses • Lack of authoritative attribution of hazard involved • Lack of consistent hazard event identification
Risk management decision-support in high risk situation Example priority countries
Application and problem • Problem identification and national disaster risk management strategy development • Decision support for specific risk management measures (e.g. index insurance, early warning) • Integration of hazard information into risk analyses • Capacity development!
Priority countries identified February 2006 based on: • risk level • PSC priorities • feasibility • region/hazard mix
Needs summary • small scale (global) [2007] • flood hazard, historical/on-going • drought hazard, historical/on-going • large scale (priority countries) • all-hazard identification and reporting (GLIDE) • hazard inputs for risk identification • national risk atlases for strategy development • specialized risk management decision-support
