NATIONAL DISASTER
MANAGEMENT POLICY
LECTURE 3M Zeeshan AhadCEC INU
THE PURPOSE Need to clearly define a national disaster management policy;Process for defining this policy;
Main elements of such a policy; and
Arrangements for monitoring and reviewing the national policy
CLEAR DEFINITION OF NATIONAL POLICYClear definition of national disaster management policy is essential if a country is to establish and maintain adequate arrangements to deal with all aspects of its disaster threat. This applies to all levels of the national structure and organization—that is, from the national government to the local government or community level. If such a policy does not exist, arrangements to deal with disaster will be ill-defined and inadequate.
Consequently, loss of material and human resources will arise; the nation, as a whole, will suffer.
CLEAR DEFINITION OF NATIONAL POLICYA STRONG AND CLEAR POLICY OFFERS MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES:
Demonstrated lead from government in disaster-related affairs;Foundation for appropriate legislation and associated regulations;Basis for sound organization and clear allocation of responsibilities;Overall direction for ensuring optimum use of resources against a carefully assessed threat; andNational competence and self-reliance that is likely to engender optimum international assistance when the need arises.
THE PROCESS OF POLICY DEFINITIONTo define a national disaster management policy, it is necessary to consider certain main factors or pillars. For most countries, the following will usually apply:• Defining accurately the disaster threat;• Identifying the effects which are likely to be caused by the threat;• Assessing the resources available to deal with the threat;• Organizational arrangements which are required to prepare for,
respond to, and recover from disaster events;• Defining how a national disaster management policy interlocks with
other aspects of national policy, especially those concerned with national development and protection of the environment;
• Any other specific national factors which may be applicable
THE DISASTER THREAT AND LIKELY EFFECTSInformation on the disaster threat and on the effects likely to arise from disaster is contained in Lecture 2.However, for purposes of defining national policy, these two aspects would need to be carefully reviewed.This is necessary to ensure that a correct relationship is established between the threat and its effects on the one hand, and the policy itself on the other hand. For instance, from a purely disaster management viewpoint, the most effective countermeasure to a flood threat may be a policy of prevention based on an extensive flood control system. However, when it comes to national policy, preventive measures of this kind may not be financially feasible.
ASSESSING AVAILABLE RESOURCESIt is no use framing a national disaster management policy which is beyond the capacity of available resources.
The reverse sense applies; that is, national policy has to be balanced with the various existing resources in terms of equipment, facilities, and personnel. In assessing resources, it is essential to consider the widest range of both government organizations and NGOs. It is also reasonable to take into account resources which are likely to be forthcoming from international sources.
ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENTSIt is generally accepted that the primary responsibility for dealing with disaster must rest with national government.
In addition, an important disaster management concept is to ensure optimum use of existing resources, the majority of which tend to be under government direction. It follows, therefore, that the organizational arrangements needed for dealing with disaster (both before, during, and after a disaster) are best based on the government structure. Indeed, experience has shown that it is neither wise nor effective to try to switch to some special organizational arrangements for disaster purposes.
ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENTSMost countries, therefore, use their existing government structure as the basis for dealing with disaster.
They then augment this by establishing such specialized agencies or sections as may be deemed necessary; for example, a National Disaster Council (NDC) for policy purposes, a National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) for day-to-day working affairs, and appropriate sections at lower levels of government.Thus, in framing a national disaster management policy, these organizational aspects must be carefully considered and included in the relevant policy statement
INTERRELATION OF NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICY WITH OTHER NATIONAL POLICIESIt is well understood and recognized that governments in most countries are, of necessity, concerned with a whole range of major policy areas. These usually include economic and social development, health, education, and so on. Such major policy areas will, necessarily, be prioritized from a government standpoint. It is unrealistic, therefore, to expect that disaster management policy will be prioritized, for instance, in allocating funding and resources that cannot be positively justifiedTherefore, those responsible for drafting and formulating a national disaster policy must aim to achieve an appropriate balance and interrelationship with other national policies
INTERRELATION OF NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICY WITH OTHER NATIONAL POLICIES
Two areas of government policy tend to have mutual interests with disaster management. They are:
National development • Disaster and national development are, in reality, closely related. • This especially applies if the disaster threat is significant. For instance, national
development planning needs to consider the possible effects that disaster may have on the various programs and projects involved.
• In turn, however, such programs and projects may affect the nation’s ability to cope with disaster because while some of them may reduce risk and vulnerability, others can actually increase it.
• In addition, disaster events often open subsequent possibilities of improving various aspects of progress and development. This is known as the “disaster-as-a benefit syndrome,”.
• These improvements and benefits may be possible in various fields of activity; for instance, building standards, transport systems, town planning, and so on.
INTERRELATION OF NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT POLICY WITH OTHER NATIONAL POLICIES
Protection of the environment
Widespread international concern has prompted most national governments to direct particular attention toward protecting the environment.
Since much disaster management activity is concerned with environmental aspects (e.g., flood, drought, cyclone) it is sensible to maintain close collaboration between disaster management and environmental policies. Indeed, some countries are already moving toward a single integrated policy for disaster and the environment.
MAIN ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL POLICYPrevention
Measures aimed at impeding the occurrence of a disaster and/or preventing such an occurrence having harmful effects on communities. Constructing a dam or levee to control floodwaters is an example of a preventive measure. Controlled burning off in a bushfire prone area prior to the high-risk season is another example.
Mitigation
Action taken (usually in the form of specific programs) to reduce the effects of a disaster on a nation or community. For instance, developing and applying building codes can reduce damage and loss in the event of earthquakes and cyclones. The term normally implies that while it may be possible to prevent some disaster effects, other effects will persist and can be modified or reduced if appropriate action is taken.
MAIN ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL POLICYPreparedness
Measures which enable governments, communities, and individuals to respond rapidly and effectively to disaster situations. Preparedness measures include formulating viable counter-disaster plans, maintaining inventories of resources, and training of personnel.Response Response measures are usually those taken immediately prior to and following disaster impact. They are directed toward saving life, protecting property, and dealing with the immediate damage and other effects caused by the disaster.
MAIN ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL POLICYRecovery The process by which communities and the
nation are assisted in returning to their proper levels of functioning following a disaster. The recovery process can be very protracted, taking 5–10 years or even more. Recovery is usually taken as including other aspects such as restoration and reconstruction.Develop
ment The progressive advancement and modernization of societies, in this case as it interrelates with the effects of disaster and with disaster management.
A POSSIBLE POLICY FORMAT
In summarizing what has been said concerning the main elements of national policy, a possible policy is given on the following slide. However, the method by which the policy is issued is a matter for individual national choice. For instance, it might be issued by:• Government decree,• Government statement,• Legislation,• Regulation, and• Other means.
