Disasters cause adverse impact on human and economic development
Average loss of GDP : 2-15%
Average loss of employment: 2-10%
Disasters cause vicious poverty traps pushing millions into extreme poverty each year
Incidence of poverty higher in hazard-prone areas
2-4% increase in extreme poverty due to disasters
Workshop on Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Washington DC, September 2010
Disasters need both short-term humanitarian and longer term development responses.
Increasing the coping capacity of the vulnerable in crisis situations
Disaster risk reduction links humanitarian and development agendas for vulnerability reduction
Fully integrate disaster risk reduction in disaster recovery and reconstruction
Humanitarian relief responses meet survival needs
Build back better addresses building resilient lives and livelihoods

Main drivers of underlying disaster risks are also the major development challenges.
Weak urban governance, vulnerable rural livelihoods, and declining ecosystems, are the main drivers of disaster risks. [2009 ISDR Global Assessment Report]
Changing mean state of climate causing increased incidence of hazard and declining resilience
There can be no sustainable development without disaster risk reduction
Systematically integrate disaster risk reduction into sustainable development planning in all sectorsEstablish robust policy framework all levels for disaster risk reduction planning and implementationFully integrate disaster risk reduction in disaster recovery and reconstruction

Historic PerspectiveWB Disaster Reduction and Recovery Operations (FY84-FY10)
Since 1984, the Bank has participated in 725 disaster related lending projects, representing total commitments of US$ 56.3 billion.
The number of projects related to natural disasters has risen gradually with sharp peaks in lending about every five years.
Workshop on Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Washington DC, September 2010
The Bank engaged in both projects anticipating foreseeable disasters in the future (ex-ante) and projects directly triggered by a disaster (ex-post). The 143 disaster related ex-ante projects represented total commitments of US$ 10.7 billion, while the 49 ex-post disaster related project represent US$ 2.9 billion.
Most countries requested Bank support to prevent disasters of hydrological origin (319 projects representing total disaster related lending of US$ 29.0 billion)

The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery Established in 2006, as a global partnership of 25 countries and
international organizations for collective action in disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation to extreme events
GFDRR mission is to mainstream disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in country development strategies
54 countries have benefitted from this global fund, with deepened engagement on 31 disaster prone countries
More than US$ 80M committed during 2008-09 GFDRR Business Lines: Track I – Global and Regional Cooperation
Program; Track II – Disaster Risk Reduction Mainstreaming Program; Track III – Sustainable Recovery Program
