Welcome to Presentation on EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR MAINSTREAMING DRR & CCA INTO SECTORAL DEPARTMENTS/MINISTRIES IN BANGLADESH Md. Munir Chowdhury Joint Secretary Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief COMMMUNITY BASED RESILIENCE: MAINSTREAMING DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE INTO DEVELOPMENT PLANNING CRA SAFE WATER SUPPLY RAISING PLINTHS PREPAREDNESS CAPACITY BUILDING AWARENESS RAISING AGRICULTURAL ADAPTATION ASSESSMENT Bangladesh: Country context and vulnerability Recognized globally as one of the most vulnerable countries to Climate Change Geographical location & land characteristics, ‐ Deltaic landscape, 80% floodplain Multiplicity of rivers and the monsoon climate ‐ Over 300 rivers, 57 trans boundary rivers ‐ Drains entire western Himalayan runoff to the Bay Population density very high (1045/sq.km) High level of poverty Natural resources based (predominantly agrarian) economy 3 RISK PROFILE First rank climate change vulnerable nations. Fifth rank in the world risk index 2012 DROUGHT ‐ Affecting 8.3 million Ha of land. FLASH FLOOD –Unpredictable, recurring, uncertain. FLOOD ‐ Inundates more areas, increases river erosion, breaches embankments, damages infrastructures. Number of people exposed yearly 46 Million 24 Million 71 Million SALINITY INTRUSION ‐ Spreading from 1.5 to 2.5 Mha (2007). 20 Million CYCLONE ‐ The deadliest and most destructive hazard. It is recurring, with lingering aftermath, complex recovery. 7 Million CLIMATE CHANGE HAZARDS, EARTHQUAKES, FIRE BREAKOUT, INFRASTRUCTURE COLLAPSE ETC. Translated into annually 14% GNP exposure to disasters, the highest in the world… Flood Cyclone Coastal upazilas affected by severe cyclones Earthquake Risk Zone RIVER EROSION Drought Tsunami/ Tidal surge Vulnerability Major Hazards ● Flood ● Tropical Cyclone ● Storm Surge ● Tornado ● River Bank Erosion ● Drought ● Earthquake Major Disasters Year Disaster Death 1970 Cyclone 300,000 1988 Flood 2373 1988 Cyclone 5704 1989 Drought 800 1991 Cyclone 138,868 1996 Tornado 545 1997 Cyclone 550 1998 Flood 1050 2004 Flood 747 2007 Flood 1071 2007 Cyclone SIDR 3406 2009 Cyclone AILA 190 Bangladesh has the highest vulnerability to flooding.

EVOLUTION OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN BANGLADESH 1970-1985 Reactive in nature: Response oriented DM system 1985-1999 Flood Action Plan (FAP) 1988 Establishment of Disaster Management Bureau in 1993 Formulation of SOD,1997 with institutional framework 2000 – 2012 A comprehensive DM system including Risk Reduction and CCA Re-structuring institutional framework Formulation of plans, act etc. Revision of SOD (2010) Department of Disaster Management (DMB merged with DRR) Newly created Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief The disaster management vision of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh is : to reduce the risk of people, especially the poor and the disadvantaged, from the effects of natural, environment and human induced hazards to a manageable and acceptable humanitarian level and to have in place an efficient emergency response management system capable of handling large scale disaster. To achieve a paradigm shift in disaster management from conventional response and relief practice to a more comprehensive risk reduction culture, and to promote food security as an important factor in ensuring the resilience of communities to hazards To strengthen the capacity of the Bangladesh Disaster Management system to reduce unacceptable risk and to improve response and recovery management at all levels. DM Model for Bangladesh 17 The Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) is overall responsible for coordinating national disaster management efforts across all agencies. Department of Disaster Management is the implementing agency . •CDMP – Program of the MoDMR • CPP ‐ Program of the MoDMR Under the DM Act,2012 a series of inter‐related committees, at both national and sub‐national levels have been created – The National Disaster Management Council (NDMC) is the highest body chaired by the Prime Minister. Other important committees at the policy level are ● Inter‐Ministerial Disaster Coordination Committee (IMDMCC), ● Disaster Management Advisory Committee, and ● National Disaster Response Coordination Group (NDRCG). National Committees under Act/SOD Cyclone Preparedness Program Implementation Board (CPPIB) Disaster Management Training and Public Awareness Building Task Force (DMTATF) Focal Point Operation Coordination Group of Disaster Management (FPOCG) NGO Coordination Committee on Disaster Management (NGOCC) Committee for Speedy Dissemination of Disaster Related Warning/ Signals (CSDDWS) Field Level Committees District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) headed by DC to co‐ordinate and review the disaster management activities at the district level Upazila Disaster Management Committee (UZDMC) headed by UNO to co‐ordinate and review the disaster management activities at the Upazila level Union Disaster Management Committee (UDMC) headed by the Chairman of the Union Parishad to co‐ordinate, review and implement the disaster management activities of the concerned union Pourashava Disaster Management Committee (PDMC) headed by the Mayor Pourashava to co‐ordinate, review and implement the disaster management activities within its area of jurisdiction City Corporation Disaster Management Committee (CCDMC) headed by the Mayor of City Corporations to co‐ ordinate, review and implement the disaster management activities within its area of jurisdiction.

School of thoughts • advocacy to and through the development planning central authorities • integration across all key sectoral departments • mixed top‐down and bottom‐up approach Challenges Present projection of climate for the preparation of specific adaptation and DRR strategies; lack of local, downscaled data of climatic effects; localization of the impact of the extreme weather events in the future‐ challenges to address the uncertainties in the future climate change over the region. Whether the present status of policy and institutional mechanism for DRR and CCA in the respective member states is adequate and functional for DRR–CCA integration. What are the main gaps, and suggestion to fill the gaps? The concept of DRR and CCA is still evolving, and there remains a big challenge to overcome this challenge; Challenges Bangladesh faces a real challenge in managing and reducing risks, in the face of changing dynamics of climate change and in ensuring effective and quality preparedness and response to slow onset, rapid and recurrent disasters. DRR and CCA seem to be operated in isolation Gap in understanding how to bridge DRR & Way forward Possibility of designing a new framework for “Climate and Disaster Risk Management” Recognize and respect the distinct differences; integration meaning harmonization of sectoral plans and cooperation for synergies Push for the concept of “resilience” as relevant for both disaster impacts and effects of climate change/variability Recommendations The tools and techniques used for DRR such as hazard, risk and vulnerability analysis, risk assessment and monitoring, risk mitigation, early warning systems need to be integrated with CCA strategies in the important sectors like water, agriculture, human health, food security, urban development, forestry, tourism, etc. ESCAP may prepare a comprehensive study of the present policy, institutional set up, budget allocation for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in the member states ESCAP may prepare an inventory of the DRR and CCA projects already implemented by the member states and identify and the replication of best practices Recommendations The diverse policy and the sectoral institutional framework of DRR and CCA can be effectively integrated for reducing the risks of disaster s in the region As in most of the states, climate change and disaster management is looked after by two separate ministries, more linkage and coordination are necessary with respect to policy development and exchange of knowledge to avoid overlapping to increase efficiency and cost effectiveness ESCAP secretariat may develop a strong monitoring and evaluation criteria to track the activities on DRR and CCA integration carried out by the member states ESCAP may establish a common institution that may include experts from every member states and develop a road map for DRR and CCA integration among the member states.
