Author(s)/Editor(s): Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Publisher: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Description: 2003, 291 p. Subject: Risk assessment, Risk management, Emergency management, Recovery, Natural disasters,

Biological hazards, Technological hazards Summary: Every day, people face a variety of risks that may result in damage to what they value: their

life, their health, the lives and health of others, their property, or the environment. Some of these risks affect individuals but have only an isolated impact on society. Others, however, may be on a much larger scale and their effects may spread much further. This report is concerned with the latter, more specifically with those risks that affect the systems on which society depends – health, transport, environment, telecommunications, etc. Five categories of such risks are addressed: natural disasters, industrial accidents, infectious diseases, terrorism, and food safety.

ID: 7578 Title: Handbook for estimating the socio-economic and environmental effects of disasters Author(s)/Editor(s): Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Publisher: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Description: 2003, 357 p. Subject: Environment, Natural disasters, Socio-economic impacts Summary: This new version of the ECLAC Handbook describes the methods required to assess the

social, economic and environmental effects of disasters, breaking them down into direct damages and indirect losses and into overall and macroeconomic effects. The Handbook is not aimed at identifying the origins of disasters or defining the actions to be undertaken during the emergency or humanitarian assistance stage, since these tasks fall within the jurisdiction of other institutions and bodies. Although this second version of the Handbook contains significant improvements, it is not a finished product. Rather, we view it as a work in progress to be enriched continuously by the experience and contributions of its users as they apply it to the unique challenges of each new disaster.

mountains, Tajikistan. A report of a risk assessment mission organized by the United Nations Secretariat of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, in collaboration with: OCHA, UNDP, UNEP, World Bank, CIS Interstate Council for Emergency Situations, Focus Humanitarian Assistance, US Agency for International Development, USGS

Author(s)/Editor(s): UN/ISDR Publisher: United Nations Description: 2000, 115 p. Subject: Lake Sarez, Landslides, Landslide dams, Environment, Floods, Early warning, Socio-

economic conditions Summary: Due to the high seismicity of the region and because the Usoi dam is not an engineered

structure designed to withstand the large volume of water it confines, several questions have been raised regarding the conceivable threat of its collapse. This report presents the final results of the inter-agency risk assessment mission, including practical recommendations for further action. It is clear that any solution to make Lake Sarez and, its downstream villages safer, would require coordinated international and regional collaboration.

ID: 8690 Title: Sustainability in Grass-Roots Initiatives. Focus on Community Based Disaster Management Author(s)/Editor(s): United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) Publisher: United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) Description: 2003, 103 p. Subject: Community action, Disaster management Summary: Effective and successful disaster reduction initiatives are often attributed to the spontaneous

participation of the communities and involvement of the people. In most cases, it can be observed that community initiatives produce results so long as there is external support from the government, non-governmental organizations(NGOs) and/or international organizations. It is a common notion that grass-roots initiatives are the responsibilities of NGOs. Thus, the major challenges of the community based disaster management (CBDM) are:1) sustainability of the efforts at the community level, and 2) incorporation of CBDM issues at the policy level.

ID: 8667 Title: In search of a common methodology on damage estimation. Workshop proceedings. Author(s)/Editor(s): Anne Van der Veen, Ana Lisa Vetere Arellano, Jean-Pierre Nordvik Publisher: European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre Source: European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre Description: 2003, 301 p. Subject: Natural hazards, Damage estimation Summary: History has shown that Europe has regularly been visited by natural hazards, which in various

cases have caused a significant amount of damage. Damage is the negative result of the spatial and temporal impact of an event on societal elements (people, buildings, etc.), societal processes (interruption of production, services, etc.) and the environment. Each country, at different governmental levels (national, regional, local) have assessed damages caused by natural hazards in some manner or other. There is a need to establish a general and wider discussion on a common methodology to estimate the damage of disasters. This requires an inter-disciplinary approach to bring stakeholders together. As part of the NEDIES Project (http://nedies.jrc.it) of the European Commission DG Joint Research Centre, Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, and in collaboration with the University of Twente, an initiative was launched to bring the civil protection world together with that of the economists’, in order to discuss about damage estimation and to exchange experiences in this area. This was put together by both parties through the co-organisation of a workshop entitled: In search of a common methodology on damage estimation, which was held in Delft, The Netherlands on 23-24 May 2003.

Panza Source: International Institute of Eathquake Engineering and Seismology (IIEES), Tehran, I.R. Iran,

ISSN: 1735-1669, 2004, 250 p. Subject: Earthquakes, Earthquake engineering, Seismology, Bam earthquake Summary: The Bam earthquake disaster, despite its high casualties and losses, provides a unique

window of opportunity to raise international awareness of the importance of the effective implementation of a comprehensive earthquake risk reduction program in Iran as well as in hazard-prone developing countries. It gives a challenge to the governments to make the

12

highest use of the existing know-how on earthquakes and its integration into development programs. It also compels the scientific and engineering community to provide more socio-economic-cultural compatible solutions to national needs. Moreover, the public at large should become more concerned about the hazard and increase its own preparedness level. The UN Strategy document, Bam Declaration and Recommendation for Bam citadel, Bam reconstruction paper and formation of the UNESCO-UNDP-UN/ISDR-IIEES Alliance for earthquake risk reduction in developing countries are sample of the initiatives for the better future.
