Rainfall Shift
Limited policy level focus on disasters
Absence of sustainable institutional arrangements to
address complete spectrum of disasters
Disaster management was viewed in complete
isolation from the mainstream development
Resource allocation for preparedness and response
Only relief providing legal mechanisms were in place
(Calamities Act of 1958)
UNISDR in 2000 & HFA in 200510
From Reactive to Proactive DM System
Earthquake - 2005 proved a wake up call
Lacking hazard and risk assessment for informed
planning
Infrastructure was not hazard resistant and resilient
(particularly schools and housing)
Development insensitive to disaster risk reduction (DRR)
Lacking in specialized search and rescue capacity
Limited awareness and capacity among communities
Therefore a comprehensive & proactive
Disaster Management System was established through an
Act of Parliament12

• DRM Needs Report, 2012 compiled with inputs from provinces
and relevant stakeholders, identified needs to:
• Undertake extensive DRM capacity building program for PDMAs, DDMAs and relevant government organizations
• Capacitate district level organizations in post disaster management skills e.g. management of relief goods and supplies, camp management etc
• Multi hazard risk and vulnerability assessments at the district and community levels
• Establishment and strengthening of disaster response force
• Streamlining Land record, land-use planning and building codes
DRM Needs Report - 2012
20
Institutionalization of DRM at the community/grassroots level
Installation and strengthening of early warning systems
Construction of warehouses for the storage and rapid provision of food and non food items in high risk areas
The construction of critical infrastructure for risk mitigation
The development of risk transfer mechanisms (insurance schemes)
Others: Emergency Operation Centers, Heavy Machinery, Climate Change Studies, School Safety Programmes, DRM monitoring system, Mainstreaming DRR
Identified Needs……

Policy approved by NDMC in February 2013
Policy shifts focus away from response centric
approach towards:
Prevention
mitigation
Preparedness
22
National DRR Policy
A ten years National Disaster Management Plan approved by
NDMC in February 2013 with four components:
National Disaster Management Plan
Human Resource Development Plan
National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Plan
Development of CBDRM guidelines (pilot initiative in 5
districts)
Plan has 10 priority areas with 118 interventions and will cost
approximately US$ 1056 millions
23
National Disaster Management Plan
Capacity constraints of DM institutions (weak DDMAs)
Non availability of micro level risk assessments
Retrofitting of existing infrastructure for DRR
Impact of climate change phenomenon
Deficient weather forecasting capabilities
Inadequate early warning dissemination system Strengthening of national institute of disaster
management
Training and awareness of communities on DRM
Resource constraints
