Aims of disaster responseo To ensure the survival of the maximum possible number of victims, keeping

them in the best possible health in the circumstances.o To re-establish self-sufficiency and essential services as quickly as possible

for all population groups, with special attention to the most vulnerable

and underprivileged.

o To repair or replace damaged infrastructure and regenerate viable

economic activities.

Disaster Response Activities

Warning- information concerning the nature of the

danger and imminent disaster threats, to evacuateor secure property and prevent further damage.

Evacuation and migration-relocation of apopulation from zones at risk of an imminent disaster

to a safer location for protection of life of thecommunity and immediate treatment of injured.o For evacuation to work there must be:

o A timely and accurate warning system,

o Clear identification of escape routes,

o community awareness of the plan

Search and rescue (SAR)-process of identifying the location of disaster

victims that may be trapped or isolated and bringing them to safety and

medical attention

o Impact Assessment

o Needs Assessment


17/59

Initial or Rapid Assessment

comprises both situation and needsassessment in the early, critical stage of

disaster to determine the type of relief

needed for immediate response.

aim to:o Identify the impact a disaster has had on a society and its infrastructure,

and the ability of that society to cope

18/59

o Identify the most urgent relief needs and potential methods of providing

them most effectively;

o Make recommendations which define and set priorities on the actionsand resources needed for immediate response

o Highlight special concerns regarding the development of the situation

o Draw attention to geographical areas / substantive sectors needing in-

depth assessment


19/59

In-Depth or Sectoral Assessmento To determine long term recovery and development requirements

o Housing and infrastructures, livelihoods, environment and psycho socialaspects

20/59

Impact Assessmento process of collecting information on the magnitude of the disaster and

the extent of its impact on both the population and infrastructure of thesociety

o The area affected by location and size

o communal service infrastructure.


37/59

Typesodispersed settlement/host families-

pre-existing households.omass shelter- public buildings and

community Facilitieso

camps: (a) spontaneous -formed without adequateplanning

(b)planned-purpose built dispersed settlement

o May not exist in affected areaso Relocated people are scatteredo difficult to keep track and provide serviceso Can reinforce social isolation


38/59

mass shelter-o Cheaper

o May not exist in affected areaso they can quickly become overcrowded

o sanitation and other services can become overburdened

o equipment and structure can be damaged

o buildings are no longer available for their original purpose

o lack of privacy and increased protection risks.

o difficult to keep track and provide services

o Can reinforce social isolation

spontaneous -formed without adequate plano re-location, as early as possible, to well-identified site

o High density, overburden on resources


39/59

Criteria for planned shelters:o protection from an immediate danger

o Quick to supply

o Low cost

o Buildable- Small and light unit size

o Adaptable-Flexible, Cultural Acceptance

o

construction or repair work by themselves, byemploying family labor, by employing a localcontractor or local laborers, or by using somecombination of these options

Essential prerequisites

o Training of trades people and homeownerso Technical assistance and construction supervision

and inspection

o Updating and enforcement of building codes andconstruction guidelines

47/59


48/59

Community-Driven Reconstruction: Financial and/ormaterial assistance is channeled through communityorganizations that are actively involved in decision makingand in managing reconstruction

community involvement in the project cycle,complemented by the assistance of an agency.

Role of agencyo suggest housing designs, technologies, and/or materials,

and delivering construction inputs and training,employ

skilled and unskilled laborers from the community orfacilitate the formation of construction committees.

Roles for the community:o Organization and planning of the entire reconstruction

process, including housing and infrastructureo Decisions regarding housing design and building

materialso Production of building materials such as brickso Distribution of building materials or other forms of

housing assistance


49/59


50/59

Agency-Driven Reconstruction in-Situ: governmental or nongovernmental

agency hires a construction company/contractors

Design, materials, and expertise are likely to beimported from outside the community.

The community may or may not be consultedon certain aspects of the project, such as house

designs. Lack of control over quality, and opportunity to

participate in specific tasks.


51/59


52/59

Agency-Driven Reconstruction in Relocated Site

a governmental or nongovernmental agencycontracts the construction of houses on a new site,generally with little or no involvement by thecommunity

56/59

Constructiono different methods of implementation

o management of construction projects

o specification, procurement and transportation of materialso management of labour and workmanship

o handover, maintenance and post-occupancy evaluation of completed

projects.

Relocationo Rebuilding in new site voluntarily or involuntarily.

Happens wheno When the old location is subject to a natural hazard

o When the old location is completely destroyed and to move the debris

o new plotting in the old settlement is inconvenient for rapid recovery and

housing purposes


58/59

Unsuccessfulo Inadequacy of new site

o Distance from livelihood and social networks

o Socio culturally inadequate settlement layout

o Lack of community living

o Lack of user participation in early decision-making process
