  2. Bounce back Learning/adaptation Absorb shock

  3. The Context for Coastal Disasters • Coastal populations dramatically increasing (leading towards more demographic vulnerabilities) • Climate change is anticipated to increase the coastal hazard threat trends (sea level rise, floods, storm – both intensity & frequency) • New problems of “mega disasters” emerging • Disasters are undermining years of development efforts • Increase in anthropogenic and human induced vulnerabilities

  4. An Increased focus on Community Resilience • The Hyogo Framework for Actions (HFA) -2005-2015 • has increased the focus on building community resilience for disaster management

  5. Defining “Resilience” “the capacity to survive, adapt and recover from a natural disaster. (IFRC, 2004) • “the potential of a particular configuration of a system to: maintain its structure/function in the face of disturbance, and theability of the system to re-organize following disturbance-driven change . . . • (Louis Lebel, 2001)

  6. Godschalk (2003) • strength • interdependence • adaptability • collaboration • redundancy • diversity • efficiency • autonomy

  7. Goals of coastal community resilience

  8. Domains in practice Community Development Resilience Disaster Management Coastal Management

  9. Elements of Coastal Community Resilience

  10. Governance Leadership, systems, and institutions appropriate to the community that support actions to promote resilience

  11. Socio-economy and Livelihoods Prosperous, sustainable, diverse economies and livelihoods that allow communities to help themselves before, during, and after disasters

  12. Coastal Resources Management Active management of renewable resources and protection of habitat and features that sustain those resources and buffer communities from natural disasters

  13. Land Use Management and Structures Active management of land uses in the community that allow development to be directed away from environmentally sensitive and vulnerable areas

  14. Zoning, building codes, and infrastructure development guidelines that reduce exposure to coastal natural disaster risks

  15. Risks Knowledge An understanding of risks from coastal natural disasters a community faces and its vulnerability to disasters

  16. Warning and Evacuation Ability to receive alerts and notifications of coastal hazards and to warn and evacuate at-risk populations

  17. Emergency Response and Disaster Recovery Ability of community to mobilize to manage coastal disasters with minimal dependence on outside assistance Ability of a community to manage post- disaster assistance

  18. Resilience Benchmarks & Assessment • Strengths • Weaknesses • Unknowns Implementation & Monitoring Resilience Scoring Phased Action Plan Resource & Opportunity Evaluation Gaps & Priority Identification Components of the CCR System

  19. An enabling environment for resilience

  20. Old Model HFA Disaster Management Groups Ecological and Environmental Groups Technological Warning Groups E. g. IFRC E.g. IOC IOTWS E. g. WWF Isolated community focus DisasterMang. Warning CRM

  21. Ideal State HFA Disaster Management Groups Ecological and Environmental Groups Technological Warning Groups E.g. US IOTWS E. g. IFRC E. g. WWF CCR Framework Integrated DRR and resilience building at community level Community resilience

  22. Evolving CCR initiatives…. Regional workshop Concept development National workshops and partnering Indonesia - September, 2006. Guidebook development Sri Lanka – October, 2006. Community level field testing India (Tamil Nadu) – Nov, 2006 Thailand (Ranong) – Dec, 2006 Training and capacity material development National training and capacity development of partners Capacity development of national partners Sri Lanka & Indonesia - Feb-March, 2007. Regional workshop and dissemination Sharing of implementation experiences by the partners
