RCRC Movement specialists believe disasters\, climate change\, and conflicts are felt most acutely in cities that are often growing rapidly without proper planning\, and are calling for increased investment in disaster risk reduction (DRR). \n“Building back better without accountability to the people we serve harms human dignity\,” Xavier Castellanos\, IFRC Asia-Pacific Regional Director\, told a special session of WUF9 in Kuala Lumpur. Better policy-making and planning are needed to humanise recovery\, he said\, along with more investment in DRR\, climate adaptation and greater engagement with communities affected by disaster.

DG ECHO initiated DIPECHO (Disaster Preparedness ECHO) programme in 1996 with the key goal to increase communities’ resilience and reduce their vulnerability. In turn\, communities at risk could be better prepared for and protect themselves against various shocks and stresses\, including disasters triggered by natural hazards\, conflict\, economic crisis etc. \nOver the past 20 years\, support given by DIPECHO has generated significant impacts in disaster risk reduction and in community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) which resulted in the protection of lives and livelihoods by helping communities and institutions to be better prepared to face disaster risks while promoting disaster preparedness in national and regional frameworks and agendas. \nThe impact of disasters has changed in Southeast Asia in the past few decades. DIPECHO partners\, local community\, civil society organizations (CSOs)\, and national and sub-national governments\, including regional institutions have developed various coping capacities. As a result of DIPECHO’s support\, significant achievements have been made in disaster risk reduction (DRR) in Southeast Asia in the past 20 years. In this backdrop\, a study has been developed to capture the extent of DIPECHO contributions in the evolution of DRR in the region which draws out good practices and achievements as well as challenges and key lessons learned. The study seeks to provide concrete recommendations for future DRR on how various players can continue to improve coping capacity in the government\, CSOs\, and at the local level\, in-line with regional and global frameworks such as the new AADMER Work Plan and in support for the implementation of the Sendai Framework. The study will be presented during this proposed Regional Lessons Learned Workshop of ECHO Partners to be held on 7 to 8 December 2017 in Bangkok\, Thailand. \n  \nThe workshop is expected to generate 2 key outcomes: \n\nOutcome 1: Final list of good practices and achievements as well as related challenges\, lessons and gaps in Southeast Asia confirmed and verified by partners.\nOutcome 2: Documentation of the recommendations to build on DRR in Southeast Asia\, which includes priority actions\, advocacy messages and strategies to enhance the investment in DRR in the region.\n\n  \nView and download the supporting documents: \n\nConcept note\nRegistration form\nAgenda\nParticipant list\nPractical information for the participants\nStudy on two decades of DIPECHO contributions to DRR in Southeast Asia report [pre-final version]\nAnnex of the Study on the two decades of DIPECHO contributions to DRR in Southeast Asia report [[pre-final version]\n\n  \nFor a more interactive page\, click here URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/dipecho-lessons-learned-workshop-7-8-december-2017-bangkok-thailand/ LOCATION:Bangkok CATEGORIES:Building Urban Resilience in South-East Asia project,Disaster risk reduction,Urban Disaster Risk Reduction END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20171106T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20171110T170000 DTSTAMP:20260516T060109 CREATED:20171109T103149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171110T094416Z UID:21594-1509955200-1510333200@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:PASSA Youth Training of Trainers (ToT) | 6 - 10 November 2017 | Manila\, Philippines DESCRIPTION:The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)\, in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity (HfH)\, is empowering young people as change agents in the 21st century to build resilient communities through a Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter and Settlements Awareness (PASSA) that aims to develop local capacity to reduce shelter-and settlements-related risk. The IFRC seeks to capitalize on the power of youth collectives and support them to develop skills in joint analysis\, learning\, and decision-making that will help them to take action in their communities\, contributing to the prevention of violence and high social risk in their neighbourhoods. To reach 10\,000 young people in 70 cities in 10 countries over the next 3 years a core global team will train regional trainers that will in turn train facilitators who will then run PASSA Youth activities with young participants. \nLearning objectives \nThe general objective of this Training of Trainers (ToT) is to prepare facilitators to disseminate the PASSA Youth methodology so it can be applied in communities in need around the world. This includes project management\, technical information about shelter safety\, and facilitator’s skills for working with youth while fostering participation\, leadership and empowerment. \nTrainers will:\n✴ Have a thorough understanding of the PASSA Youth methodology.\n✴ Experience participatory methodologies and tools.\n✴ Participate in the planning of a training. \nSupporting documents: PASSA youth flyer | Agenda | Participant list URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/passa-youth-training-of-trainers-tot-6-10-november-2017-manila-philippines/ LOCATION:Bangkok CATEGORIES:Disaster risk reduction,Philippines END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170906 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170908 DTSTAMP:20260516T060109 CREATED:20180417T095506Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180417T100241Z UID:23712-1504656000-1504828799@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:IFRC Reports to ACDM Working Group Meeting | 6-7 September 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:In September 2017\, IFRC provided updates on its contribution to the AADMER Work Programme 2016-2020 through two presentations as below: \n\nTechnical working group on prevention and mitigation on 7 September 2017\nTechnical working group on preparedness and response on 6 September 2017 URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/ifrc-reports-to-acdm-working-group-meeting-6-7-september-2017-bangkok-thailand/ LOCATION:Bangkok CATEGORIES:ASEAN,Disaster risk reduction END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20170829T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20170830T170000 DTSTAMP:20260516T060109 CREATED:20170719T025459Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180326T104908Z UID:20058-1503993600-1504112400@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Demystifying the Global Agenda Frameworks into Practice | 29-30 August 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand DESCRIPTION:Demystifying the Global Agenda Frameworks into Practice \nSignificant progress has been made in disaster risk reduction\, climate change adaptation\, humanitarian response\, and in development under the global frameworks that guide them. However\, due to their respective mandates\, government agencies have been working in silos towards reducing disaster and climate risks. The evolution of the global frameworks and creation of new ones calls for a universal and more comprehensive approach\, which focuses on sustainability and resiliency. These global frameworks are considered as tools to support government agencies and relevant stakeholders on their progress towards sustainability and resiliency. \nAsian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC)\, GIZ\, UNESCAP\, UNDP and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) altogether in a partnership (partners)\, see this as an opportunity to develop a deeper knowledge on the key linkages within the global frameworks to ensure that the operationalization of these frameworks at the country- and local-level serves as a vehicle to bring about positive changes towards investment decisions and strengthened risk governance. \nThe partners aim to organize the event together with other partners\, and bring all relevant stakeholders including governments\, UN agencies\, RCRC National Societies\, Civil Society Organizations and the private sector to help guide an integrated and inclusive approach to building national and local resiliency capacities as an effective approach towards the implementation of global goals. \nThe 2-day forum aims to identify the challenges\, linkages\, and potential key entry points for integrating the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction\, the Sustainable Development Goals\, Paris Agreement on Climate Change Adaptation\, and the World Humanitarian Summit towards achieving a common goal of making communities resilient to disaster and climate risks in the Asia-Pacific region. \n  \nUseful links: \n\n\n\n\n\nOutcomes of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Cancun\, Mexico\nThe High-level Political Forum\, United Nations central platform for follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals\, provides for the full and effective participation of all States Members of the United Nations and States members of specialized agencies.\nOutcomes of the AMCDRR 2016\nThe Global Agenda of Local and Regional Governments\nClimate and Disaster Resilience\, United Nations Development Programme overview of programmes\, initiatives and events.\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporting document (more documents will be uploaded in time): \n\n\n\n\n\nConcept note\nAgenda\nPractical information for participants\nParticipant List\nReport\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information on the proceedings and presentations\, please go to this link.

Thai Red Cross would like to build on this and further replicate with other neighbouring countries in the future”\, said Mr. Sawanit Kongsiri\, Assistant to Secretary General of the Thai Red Cross Society. \n“This is also a golden opportunity for our branches to exchange their direct contacts and coordinate at branch level to effectively mobilise resources to respond to future challenges”\, added Mr. Thongphachanh Sonenasin\, Vice President of Lao Red Cross Society. \n \nBased on the existing information collected before and during the workshop\, three different disaster scenarios were developed. Supported by range of facilitators\, the participants then discussed contingency planning in regards of those scenarios\, aiming to prepare both National Societies at various levels to better respond by making decisions in advance about the management of human and financial resources\, coordination and communications procedures\, and being aware of a range of technical and logistical responses. \n“As the role of Red Cross is to support government during disaster\, it was a good practice to bring various stakeholders to discuss these plans. It is important to have good coordination mechanisms between Red Cross Chapter and government agencies”\, said Ms. Naowarat Akepapan\, Uttaradit Red Cross Chapter President\, Thai Red Cross Society. \nConcluding the workshop\, both Red Cross National Societies agreed to encourage and support cross-border cooperation at branch level through exchange visits and capacity building for effective disaster response and preparedness as well as health and care. It was also agreed that among several branches from both sides\, pilot initiatives will be started to build a model for future replication. \nA total of 74 respondents completed the final evaluation where it captured their feedback and comments. Figure 1 shows that most of participants had a positive feedback about the contingency plan workshop with overall satisfaction at 81.08% and contributed in improving their knowledge at 81.08%.  74.32% said that the technical and practical aspects planned well. In fact\, 80 % felt that the team of facilitators was qualified. For quality of working group\, management and logistics and hotel facilities\, the respondents were satisfied at 81.08%\, 78.38%\, and 81.76% respectively. \n  \nRelated documents: Agenda\, concept note and report URL:https://www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org/event/lao-thai-cross-border-workshop-march-2017/ LOCATION:Bangkok CATEGORIES:Disaster risk reduction END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20170725T080000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Krasnoyarsk:20170728T170000 DTSTAMP:20260516T060109 CREATED:20170801T074729Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170801T084255Z UID:20292-1500969600-1501261200@www.rcrc-resilience-southeastasia.org SUMMARY:Lao Red Cross Youth in School Safety Facilitators Training | 25-28 July 2017 | Vientiane\, Lao PDR DESCRIPTION:  \n \nWith the collaboration of Thai Red Cross Society Youth Bureau and IFRC Bangkok CCST\, the first ever Youth in School Safety Facilitators Training was held in July 25-28 in Vientiane\, Lao PDR to support the Lao Red Cross Youth in School Safety programme\, under the Building Urban Resilience in Southeast Asia project. \nA total of 20 participants attended the training.

The project supports Red Cross Movement partners in Cambodia\, Laos\, Viet Nam and Philippines to increase the capacity of local government authorities and Red Cross for disaster preparedness and response through working together to improve community-based disaster risk reduction tools. Thus\, as part of the project an innovative and user-friendly risk mapping method for urban Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) has been developed. \nAim\nTo present this new risk-mapping method to Red Cross National Society staff and representatives from authorities who are actively involved in Disaster Risk Management and in disaster preparedness and response. \nObjectives\nAfter this 3-day training\, the participants are able to:\n• Explain:\no Basic concept of QGIS\no Benefits of using QGIS for participatory development of a multi-disaster risk map to support Disaster Risk Management\no Steps of information collection in the community (including usage of GPS in smart phone)\no Steps of using QGIS to develop and update the multi-disaster risk map\no Steps of using QGIS risk map for planning\, post-disaster damage and need assessment\, and raising awareness for community at urban and peri-urban areas\n• Practise participatory development and update the multi-disaster risk map at urban and peri-urban areas using the QGIS software\n• Develop an action plan for developing QGIS multi-disaster risk map after the training \nExpected Outcomes\n– Participants have increased knowledge and ability to put into practice the news participatory mapping method in order to develop local urban multi-disaster risks maps\n– Participants have increased knowledge and ability to put into practice the key concepts of community participation and gender and disability inclusion in risk mapping \nParticipants\nViet Nam Red Cross Society staff and/or representatives from Disaster Management authorities who are actively involved in Disaster Risk Management or disaster preparedness and response and who are willing to pilot the new mapping method in urban context. \nOutcomes\nDuring the workshop\, the project team members from Cambodia\, Philippines\, and Lao PDR discussed and worked in group to practise and draw maps through the software. The development process of these community maps was based on paper mapping and importing of the data from paper mapping into the QGIS program. \nAfter the workshop completion\, the project team and participants from VNRC and the government partners provided feedback and comment about the utilization and practice of QGIS software including the handout/manual which provided the step-by-step procedure. \nNext Steps\nAt the end of the project\, in October 2017\, a second Regional event will take place. Lesson learned from the use of this participatory multi-disaster risks mapping method in support to DRM planning will be gathered and documented as inputs for the finalization of the method.

This was also the opportunity to meet with the Head of Communications Unit and Disaster Management team. \nThe main purpose of this meeting was to conduct the orientation workshop on KAP Baseline Survey for the students and to discuss among the different sectors in Lao Red Cross in order to develop the key messages for the Communications Strategy on Public Awareness and Public Education (PAPE). The key discussion topics were as followed: \nPreparation Meeting with KAP Consultant and the project team \n\nDiscussion on the KAP methodology design\, sample size\, contents of the questionaire\, data processing method\, etc.\nThe use of the quantitative tool of the KAP survey for collecting data in the five targeted communities where there is the high school that the LRC is implementing the project.\nThis survey is used to interview at the household level because the household is the primary institution consisting of members of families who talk and share with each other the most in daily life.\n\nOrientation Workshop on KAP Baseline Survey\nThe objective of this workshop was to provide the common understanding on hazards and disasters in the local context and the understanding on the questionnaires and simulation exercise\, for 85 students from five schools in Vientiane Capital City. \nThe Morning Session was on “Knowing the Local Hazards and Disasters in Laos”. The purpose of this session was to provide understanding on the hazards and disasters in Laos’ context in order to collect the data for KAP Survey. Based on PAPE tools\, the main facilitator for this session led the session by using the Role Play. The students were into five groups and assigned the hazard topics for each group (Fire\, Flood\, Earthquake\, Land slide and Storm). Each group developed the key messages based on their understanding about the impacts of the hazards in their schools and communities including how to use the community engagement approach in their role play. After the presentations\, the facilitator asked the representatives from each group to feedback each other\, then invited the teachers and Lao Red Cross (LRC) team to provide feedback also. In conclusion\, all students understood about the hazards in their local context. \nThe Afternoon Session was on “Understanding and Practising on KAP Survey Questionnaires”. The purpose of this session was to provide understanding on KAP Survey’s questionnaires and practice and how to collect the data in the communities. The consultant was the main facilitator for this session\, while the project manager and LRC team were the co-facilitators in the simulation exercise. The session started with the introduction on KAP survey methodology and then divided the students into five groups in order to read out loud and understand all parts of the questions. Then\, the simulation exercise started by matching them in pairs and practiced how to ask the questions and how to record the answers. Finally\, they could give feedback to each other and the teachers also provided the comments. \nFor more information\, see Building Urban Resilience Project.

Regional platforms provide an opportunity to address trans-boundary issues around disaster prevention and preparedness by providing leadership\, by addressing disaster risks and building the resilience of communities and nations in the region. \nIn Asia\, the regional platform mainly consists of the Asian Ministerial Conferences on Disaster Risk Reduction (AMCDRR) and the ISDR Asia Partnership (IAP) forum as its mechanism for consultation and technical support. Established in 2005\, the AMCDRR is a biennial conference jointly organized by different Asian countries and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). \nThe AMCDRR serves as a forum for stakeholders to take a shared responsibility and make actionable commitments towards implementation of DRR in the Asia region through the exchange of experiences on successful practices and innovative approaches in reducing and managing disaster risk. \nThe AMCDRR is an established regional mechanism for disaster risk reduction. Its success is largely due to the joint leadership of hosting governments and their partnership with UNISDR who provided the technical support. As a result\, the AMCDRR has been instrumental in increasing political commitment and strengthening the disaster risk reduction agenda at all levels. \nThis AMCDRR is the first one held after the advent of the Sendai Framework\, hosted by the Government of India in November 2016. \nLast week\, representatives from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement\, including thirteen National Societies\, joined senior-level government delegations and experts at AMCDRR to exchange experience and chart the way forward to build resilience and reduce disaster risk across the Asia region. The Movement called for greater investment in local actors and new partnerships to reduce disaster risk and increase community resilience. \nThe objectives of the AMCDRR 2016 conference are as follows: \n\nTransforming the commitment of governments and stakeholders made in Sendai during the WCDRR into national and local action.\nSetting the direction to accelerate regional implementation and monitoring of the Sendai Framework\n\n  \nOutcome documents: \n\nNew Delhi Declaration: A political declaration consolidating the political commitment of governments towards preventing and reducing risk as well as strengthening resilience by accelerating implementation and monitoring of the Sendai Framework in the region.\nAsia Regional Plan for Implementation of the Sendai Framework – a plan endorsed by the countries for the Asian region.\nStakeholder action statements – voluntary statements of action of stakeholder groups towards a ‘shared responsibility’ approach in implementation of the Sendai Framework. See IFRC Stakeholder action statement and Children and Youth Stakeholder Action Statements (IFRC is part of the Stakeholder Group)\n\n  \nRelevant document: \n\nAsia Pacific National DRM Strategy towards Community Resilience 2016-2020\n\n  \nFor more information\, please see this press release by IFRC.

It mobilizes people through clear messages\, supported with detailed information. Hazard awareness alone does not lead directly to people adopting risk-reduction measures. The expected outcomes of the workshop: \n\nParticipants increase their knowledge in effective behaviour change communication processes\, based on the PAPE guide and key messages\nParticipants reflect on existing BCC practice in their countries and identity innovative ways to enhance their outreach in urban contexts\nParticipants are able to facilitate the design\, implementation and monitoring & evaluation of the PAPE in their respective countries (particular focus will be given to the KAP survey and national workshop)\nParticipants can confidently replicate the training with Red Cross National Society staff\n\nThe workshop went well with 30 participants from the National Societies of Viet Nam\, Cambodia\, Laos\, Myanmar and Philippines including the Red Cross Youth and Red Cross Volunteers in Quezon Chapter who implemented the project in the Philippines. The workshop was facilitated by team members from IFRC Bangkok CCST\, IFRC Viet Nam Country Office\, Spanish and Philippine Red Cross\, and Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center. \nIn addition\, the Philippine RC General Secretary delivered the opening remarks with the Chairman of Quezon Chapter to all participants and hoped that the participants can enhance their knowledge and skills on the public awareness and public education especially in urban context and share their experiences to each other as peer-to-peer approach. \nSee the Agenda | Rationale and Participant list | Evaluation

SUMMARY:Asia Pacific Regional Conference on Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction | 16-18 May 2016 | Hanoi\, Viet Nam DESCRIPTION:Asia Pacific Regional Conference on Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction on the occasion of 1 year of implementation of the Sendai Framework for Action (2015-2030) will be held in Hanoi\, Viet Nam\, on 16 to 18 May 2016. \n\nBackground \nThe Sendai Framework for Action (2015-2030) was adopted at the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Japan in March 2015. Under its seven global targets\, the Sendai Framework outlines four Priorities for Action: (i) understanding disaster risk; (ii) strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; (iii) investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience; and (iv) enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response\, recovery\, rehabilitation and reconstruction. The Sendai Framework further states in its Guiding Principles: “A gender\, age\, disability and cultural perspective should be integrated in all policies and practices\, and women and youth leadership should be promoted”. \nThis proposed regional conference organised by UN Women in Viet Nam in partnership with the Government of Japan and the Government of Viet Nam will provide a forum to discuss gender-related issues and targets for the four priorities of the Sendai Framework with the aim of assisting Governments in integrating gender when setting local targets. This conference will be targeted towards government\, policy makers\, researchers and practitioners from the Asia and the Pacific region. \n  \nObjectives and Outputs – Overall the forum aims to identify practical measures for substantive integration of gender equality and women’s empowerment in disaster risk reduction taking into the differential impacts and abilities of different gender groups. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify key measures for effective implementation of the gender responsive Sendai Framework for DRR\nShare knowledge\, experience and best practices from national governments\, organizations and researchers from their work in Japan\, Nepal\, Vietnam\, Vanuatu\, and other countries in the region\nCreate a network where the voices of men and women from the field can be shared with policy makers and decision makers at the national level\, i.e.\, a community of practice\n\nOutputs of the conference: \n\nRecommendation document on ‘Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction’\nPublication of key papers presented at the conference\n\n  \nExpected Participants: \nThe total number of participants expected to attend the regional conference will be 200\, including at least 50 international participants (government officials\, experts\, key speakers and UN). \nOutcome Document: \n\nHanoi Recommendations for Action on Gender and DRR\n\n  \nThe following is the list
