What is Disaster Risk
Reduction?

“ Actions taken to reduce the risk of disasters and the

adverse impacts of natural hazards, through systematic
efforst to analyze and manage the cause of
disasters,including through avoidance of hazards,
reduced social and economic vulnerability to hazards,
and improved preparedness for adverse events.
 Mitigation
It is permanent reduction of the
risk of the disaster. Mitigation lessens
the likelihood and sevirity of disaster
by implementing sustained
action,such as improved construction
practice, to reduce or eliminate long
term risk to people and property.
Types of Mitigation

1. Primary Mitigation:
~ Refers to increasing the resistance to the
hazard and reducing vulnerability.

2. Secondary Mitigation:
~ Refers to reducing the effect of hazard
(preparedness).
 Strategies of
Disaster Mitigation
1. Risk Identification

• Once the priority zones are

identified. Comprehensive
and integrated risk reduction
programs should be
initiated.
 • It includes the mapping of
disaster prone area which
should contain number of
livestock per unit area. Crop
density, population density,
road network,location of
shelter, etc.
2. Land-Use Planning
• Mitigation measures may involve
construction (e.g. dykes and
flood protection walls,and
ecosystem-based approaches to
flood and erotion control,such as
planting mangrove forest) and
non-material measures (e.g.
land-use ristriction in flood risk
areas).

3. Sructural and Non Structural

4. Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation

• Supply emergency
humanitarian aid to victims
for survival and relocate the
peoples whose residence have
been destroyed very badly.In
appropriate for living.
• Trained up group of
personnel need to be
formed in local,national
and regional context to
mitigate and reduce
disaster risk and
damage.

5. Disaster Management Training and Education

6. Role of Media in Disaster Risk Reduction

• Media is the
effective means to
circulate the news
and bulletins about
hazard warning and
mitigation
processes.
7. Institutional Capacity Building

• Ability and capacityof

those intitutions should
be as high as they are
capable to mitigate the
disaster.
 PREPAREDNESS
• Preparedness refers the measures
that ensure the organized
mobilization of
personnel,funds,equipment and
supplies within the safe invironment
for effective relief. Preparedness
lessen the severity of disaster by
preparing people for disaster,
developing plans to ensure an
effective response and recovery and
training people to implement plans
after the disaster occurs.
1. Forecasting and Warning for
Different Hazard
2. Emergency Preparedness
3.Education Training and Public
awareness Preparedness Includes
• Family
• Community
• National
• international/regional

Level of Preparedness
 Response
• Disaster response is the implementing
phase of the disaster preparedness step.
The focus in the response phase is on
meeting the basic needs of the people untill
more permanent and sustainable solution
can be found.

1. Mobilization
2. Assessment
3. Requirement Analysis
4. Rescue and evacuation
5. Emergency Assistance
RECOVERY RECOVERY
•Disaster recovery (DR) involve a
set of policies and procedures to
enable the recovery or
continuation of vital recovery or
continuation of vital technology
infrastructures and systems
following a natural or human
induced disaster.
Recovery consist of:
1. Rehabilitation
2. Reconstruction
3. Psychological counseling
4. Long-term assistance to
rebuild the community.
Steps for Implementing DRR Strategy
Ensure that DRR is a national and local priority with strong
institutional basis for implementation.
Identify, assess and monitor disaster risk- and enhace early
warning.
Use knowlegde, innovaton, and education to build a culture
safety anf resilience at all levels.
Reduce the underlying risk factors.
Stregthen disaster preparedness for effective at all levels.
