The impact of disasters

In 2008,

• 354 natural disasters were reported

• 235,000 persons were killed (138,366 by Cyclone Nargis, Myanmar)

• More than 214 million people were affected (~ 10 times Mozambique’s population!)

• USD 190 billion in economic damages (~ 19 times Mozambique’s GDP!)

Note: These are only major reported events (≥10 killed, ≥100 affected, state of emergency, call for international assistance)

Disaster Risk Reduction + Safe Development Processes

Effective Actions

The Problem



• Goal:– Promote sustainable development by reducing the impact of

natural hazards in high risk areas

• Specific objectives:– To improve risk information – To ensure its application in disaster risk management and

development processes

Global Risk Identification Programme - GRIP



Programme Steering Committee



GRIP as Thematic Platform

Three main activities:

•Improve Coordination• Avoid duplication• Optimize resources• Increase effectiveness

•Promote Quality• Develop minimum standards• Establish QC mechanisms

•Provide Support• Capacity development resources• Support local implementation



• Risk Information– Risk assessment studies done in the country– Data available and their sources– Information needs and requirements for decision/policy making

• Institutional capabilities – Mandates– Experience

• Existing DRR strategy, framework, programmes, etc.– Legal, political, financial frameworks

The National perspective – What already exists

Country Situation AnalysisSystematic Inventory and Evaluation

for Risk Assessment (SIERA)



• Comparable Country Profiles• E-Libraries• Implementation Plan for NRA• Multi-stakeholder engagement• National coordination mechanism

Key Outputs



Learning from the past - NDO

• Local authorities• Sectors• Civil society

Strong institutional coordination

National Risk Information System



– GRIP Portal: Comprehensive service provider for Risk Assessment at every level

• The Disaster Analyst – Analysis of past disasters• The Risk Informer – Estimation of potential losses• The Capacity Developer – Capacity development
