Measuring disaster impacts against
development investments
On the disaster side
Between 2005–2010 the economic costs of disasters exceeded $269
billion, averaging $53.8 billion a year.
On the development side
The most recent OECD figures indicate that total ODA assistance to
ADB’s developing member countries for 2009 was $32 billion.
Implication
The combined contributions of all the region’s development partners does
not keep up with the economic and social costs of disasters in Asia
and the Pacific.

Disaster risk reduction
is development
• Disaster risk management is
not a separate development
sector.
• DRM is a development
approach and is part and
parcel of development
actions.
• Without a risk-sensitive
approach, development
cannot be sustainable.

Basics of DRM
Losses = Risk factor
Risk = Hazard x
Exposure x
Sensitivity
Capacity
where
represents Vulnerability
Recovery
= Finance factor
Extent of damage
> Available Finance
The biggest financing challenge is availability
of liquidity at the onset of a disaster

Rationale for DRM and DRF
• Governments are responsible for large portfolios of public
infrastructure assets subject to risk
• Guarantee sufficient capital for emergency relief and
assistance to affected households, businesses and
communities
• Analyze, measure and manage government's disaster
contingent liability
– comprehensive approach to embedded contingent risks from
disasters
• Avoid diverting funds from budgets or from already
disbursed development loans to finance post-disaster
expenses

Key Components of a
Results-Based Strategic Approach to DRM
Analysis-driven
– Natural hazard (including
climate change hazard),
vulnerability and risk
assessments
Focused design
– Selection of intervention
type(s) – policy, investment,
capacity
– Selection of risk
management option(s) financial, economic, physical
Optimized for necessary scope and
scale
• Core results attributes –
planning, budgeting,
implementation, monitoring and
evaluation
• Focus on common results
• Interdependency – top down,
bottom up and linked
• Horizontal and vertical linkage
– across agencies in all
sectors at all administrative
levels
18
What could the DRF solutions look like?
 Disaster liquidity / reserves
– Contingent credit or insurance based solutions
– Using parametric, index or modeled loss triggers
 Public infrastructure asset coverage
– Transport, power, water
 Stengthening of safety nets
– Microinsurance
 Facilitate mitigation and adaptation
– Climate Funds, Carbon Finance

Designing Effective Risk Management
Programs for Sovereign Clients
• Risk Identification and Measurement
– Extensive use of stochastic catastrophe risk models employing the
latest scientific research on natural hazards and utilizing stock
inventory and vulnerability data (EQECAT, RMS, AIR)
• Loss control programs
– Loss prevention programs/national mitigation efforts/enforcement of
building codes, construction supervision
• Risk transfer/risk financing
– Reinsurance
– Government
– Insurance Industry

Matching the Funding Needs
The challenge is how to utilize a wide range of
instruments to address the costs of disasters
and be sure that they are available if and when
needed.

Key Challenges
• Low country incomes
– Limited finance and related market tools for mitigation and adaptation
• Degradation of environment due to growing demands of rapidly
growing population
• High degree of uncertainty with regard to expected economic
losses
– Poor statistics
• Catastrophe Risk Financing Instruments: scepticism on reliability of
weather data
– Extent of devastation and loss normally underestimated
– Losses arising from business interruption and bankruptcies often
unclear and undisclosed
• Corruption and poor governance
26
Key Challenges
• Inability to put in place pre-requisites for an efficient catastrophe risk
financing instrument – e.g. enforced building codes
• Undeveloped insurance sector
– General inadequacy in local insurance laws with respect to post-disaster
damages
– Excessive reliance on the government as the reinsurer of last resort
• Lack of risk awareness at the government level and among public
– Perceived low probability of disasters: hence insurance is of low priority
among would be consumers of insurance products
– Lack of understanding of insurance by locals; low awareness of
insurance benefits vis-a-vis costs (premiums)
• Lack of local technical knowledge and experience
 Build complex insurance models and carry out loss assessments
 Adapt to climate change effects
27
Role of Multilateral Agencies
• Reducing vulnerability of the poor to natural disasters
• Quantifying the uncertainty
– Independent estimates of countries’ economic exposures and vulnerability to
natural disasters
– Enabling risk reduction by providing governments with access to hazard maps
and information on hazard impacts on populations, land area, ports and airports
• Estimating the economic benefits from different risk transfer/ risk
hedging arrangements
– Selecting best risk transfer and financing programs
• Reduce government exposure to natural disasters
• Optimal allocation of risk in the economy
– Ensuring sufficient liquidity exists after a disaster
– Speeding economic recovery
• Build capacity, fill knowledge and funding gaps, and integrate private
sector expertise and resources
– Better mitigation and more effective poverty alleviation

Strategy 2020 of ADB
• Vision: “An Asia and Pacific Free of Poverty”
• Three complementary strategic agendas
– Inclusive growth
• putting in place sound policies and institutions to improve the poor’s
access to credit/ insurance and basic productive assets
• Strengthening social safety nets to prevent extreme deprivation
– Environmentally sustainable growth
– Regional integration
To better mobilize resources - including region’s savings
and inbound capital flows – and maximize returns

ADB’s DRF Activities in South East
Asia
• Southeast Asian countries extraordinarily exposed to human and
economic shocks from natural disasters
• Since 1987, ADB has provided over $2.3b for 145 hazard and DRM
activities – 62% for DRR actions
• Region is largest recipient of APDRF funds
• Disaster Response Facility under the Asian Development Fund to
be established
• support the poorest countries respond to natural calamities on
a pilot basis

Key Messages
• Strong and continuous political commitment is essential
• Foundation for a unified country plan integrating DRR, DRF, and CCA
is central
– Local ownership
– Value proposition for all the parties (client/donor/industry/ NGOs)
• A “bottoms- up” high quality risk analysis is essential for decision
making and risk capital financing
• Risk assessment technology and financial market development create
new options for government risk management
• Disaster management (ex-ante+ex-post) as crucial element of
sustainable development
– Risk reduction initiatives should be integrated into disaster
response and recovery measures
