What is the Disaster Cycle?

3

All work is accomplished through processes

Three core processes deliver services to the client

Five pillar processes support the three core processes

Page 4: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

The Core Processes

Prepare

Respond

Recover

Page 5: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Prepare• Facilitate a person, business,

organization, or community to take action before, during or after an emergency to limit the impact of the emergency.

• Increase number of individuals and families who have taken steps to be more prepared.

5

• Calls-to-action: • Download preparedness

app and make an emergency plan

• Encourage membership/partnership as a Ready When the Time Comes Partner

• Strengthen the public's awareness of preparedness and their participation in Red Cross programs

The Core Processes

Page 6: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Respond• Build on the readiness and

community mobilization work of our field units

• Capitalize on the spontaneous outpouring of goodwill and assistance

• Work more closely with government on response activities

6

• National Headquarters’ role is to support field units, where Regional and Divisional units manage event with support from DOCC as needed

The Core Processes

Page 7: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Recover• Begins when

emergency needs have been met

• Base services on clients and community needs

• Make decisions at the level closest to the client

7

• Serve as a convener of community resources to meet client’s short and long term needs

The Pillar Processes

Engage Volunteers & EmployeesMobilize the CommunityAlign with GovernmentInformation Management & Situational AwarenessDeploy Material Resources & Technology

Page 9: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Engage Volunteers & Employees

• Size and skill of volunteer workforce• Division & Region based leadership

teams• Proactively recruit and engage event

based volunteers• Volunteers can offset state and local

costs (e.g., Sandy, Joplin)

9The Pillar Processes

Page 10: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Mobilize the Community

• Focus on convening of stakeholders and being a facilitative leader

• Weave community mobilization into all 3 phases, not just response

10The Pillar Processes

Page 11: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Align with Government

• Increasing communication and strengthen relationships with government partners

• Sharing and leveraging resources• Better coordination in service delivery

11The Pillar Processes

Page 12: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Align with Government – Examples

• Maintain current MOU with North Carolina• Conduct joint planning and align with State &

County EOP• Train and conduct exercises together• Mobilize and convene community stakeholders

with government• Develop strong volunteer government liaisons

and staff EOCs at the Local, State & Federal levels

12The Pillar Processes

Page 13: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Information Management & Situational Awareness

• Developing new tools: Apps

Hurricane DigiDoc Virtual teams

• Focusing on increasing timeliness and efficiency of information reporting and sharing while improving quality

13The Pillar Processes

Page 14: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Deploy Material Resources & Technology

Increased visibility & coordination of assets within Red Cross will: Enhance coordination with

government and partners Minimize duplication of efforts Expedite information sharing and

resource requests

Disaster Resiliency in Communities: Concept and Definitions

• Hazard vs. Risk • Disaster• Financial Implications of Disaster • Vulnerability & Social

Vulnerability• Rural, Suburban & Urban Poverty • Community Resilience• Sustainable Community

Development• Disaster Mitigation

• Preparedness Response Recovery• Cultural sensitive and awareness

Page 34: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Vulnerability

34

• Community Vulnerability- Wisner, et al (2004), “defined vulnerability broadly in relation to natural hazards as the characteristics of a person or group and their situation that influence their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist and recover from the impact of a natural hazard (an extreme natural event or process)”.

• Social Vulnerability- Cutter, (1996). “Social vulnerability is partially the product of social inequalities—those social factors that influence or shape the susceptibility of various groups to harm and that also govern their ability to respond”.

Page 35: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

PovertyCondition in which people's basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter are not being met. Poverty is generally of two types: 1. Absolute poverty is synonymous with destitution and occurs when

people cannot obtain adequate resources (measured in terms of calories or nutrition) to support a minimum level of physical health. Absolute poverty means about the same everywhere, and can be eradicated as demonstrated by some countries.

2. Relative poverty occurs when people do not enjoy a certain minimum level of living standards as determined by a government (and enjoyed by the bulk of the population) that vary from country to country, sometimes within the same country. Relative poverty occurs everywhere, is said to be increasing, and may never be eradicated.

Fundamentals Questions in Project Design

• What are the problems? • Who is implicated?• What should we do? What we can do?• What do we want to achieve? How?• What are the characteristics of a safe and

resilient community?• How do we get there?• What are the key indicators of a successful

community disaster education program?

Project Planning Approach

Page 39: Disaster Cycle  Services Prepare Respond  Recover Building Resilient Communities

Who Should Participate? (Partner Analysis)

• Determine person/s or group/s interested in the project.

• Classify in terms of influence• Classify in terms of importance • Classify in terms of capacity
