SUMMARY:ASEAN Disaster Law Mapping Consultation | 8 September 2017 | Bangkok\, Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Purpose/Overview: \nThe “ASEAN Disaster Law Mapping Consultation” seeks to confirm the accuracy of the research and findings endorsed by the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM) in collaboration with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on the “ASEAN Peer to Peer Learning: Disaster Law and Policy Platform.” As part of the peer learning platform\, it was proposed to map and analyze domestic disaster laws to create an evidence-base for assessing the institutionalization of ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) provisions in domestic legal frameworks\, specially focusing on disaster preparedness and response provisions. The outputs of the mapping will be a Final Report providing a comparative regional overview and some country-level example of AADMER preparedness and response institutionalization in domestic law and policy. \nThe consultation is a key step in the research process as it will ground the research on actual experiences by NDMOs\, Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies and other non-government stakeholders in ensuring that AADMER provisions are supported by their domestic legal frameworks. \nExpected Participants: \n\nNDMO / AADMER focal point of each ASEAN Member States\nRed Cross and Red Crescent National Societies in ASEAN\nASEC and AHA representatives\nIGO/INGO/CSO networks in SEA i.e.: UNDP ROAP\, ADB\, Lao PDR DRR NGOs consortium\, Philippines DRR Network\, Indonesia PLANAS\n\nObjectives: \n\nTo provide an opportunity for ASEAN Member States and key stakeholders to modify and /or validate the initial findings of the draft research and Online Platform before these are finalized and presented to the full ACDM Ministerial Meeting in October 2017.\nTo strengthen the evidence base and shared learning opportunities on AADMER and other disaster law themes within ASEAN.\n\n \nSupporting documents: Concept note | Agenda | Participant List | Links (to relevance of the consultation meeting)

SUMMARY:Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Vulnerability and Community-based Capacity Assessment (VCA) Guidance of the Vietnam Red Cross
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) held the workshop “Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming in Vulnerability and Community-based Capacity Assessment (VCA) Guidance of the Vietnam Red Cross” on 19 September 2017\, with the technical and financial support from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)\, the French Red Cross (FRC)\, the American Red Cross and the French Development Agency (AFD). This activity was a part of the “Gender-sensitive community-based disaster risk management project in ethnic minority areas of North-West Vietnam” implemented in Son La and Lai Chau between April 2014 and September 2017. \nThe VCA guidelines list and describe the different steps that are to be followed to assess a community’s vulnerability and capacity towards disasters\, in order to engage the community and related organizations into disaster prevention and preparedness activities. This document was developed and applied by the VNRC in 1997 and updated in 2016. In 2014\, the government of Vietnam adapted the VCA methodology to develop the Community-Based Disaster Risk Assessment methodology (CBDRA) and issued Decree 1002 on awareness raising and community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM). \nWhile these VCA guidelines have been highly appreciated and widely used it has clearly lacked consideration for Gender and Diversity (G&D). It is well-established that women\, men\, boys\, girls\, people with disability and people belonging to diverse ethnic\, social\, cultural\, economic and religious groups may have different level of vulnerability and capacity towards disasters. A Gender-and-Diversity-sensitive and inclusive VCA will help us understand and address the specific needs\, capacities and priorities of each group in a comprehensive way and ensure that no one is neglected. Gender and Diversity play a vital role in achieving VCA’s goals\, improving disaster response capacities of all specific groups and all the community. \n“When I conducted assessments in remote areas\, I realized that women’s roles had been overlooked. The integration of Gender and Diversity in VCA will help us recognize women’s roles and understand the diversity of our target groups. We will know how women\, men and people from diverse groups are affected differently by a disaster. Then we will have more suitable solutions and we won’t miss anyone.” – Mrs. Nguyen Phuong Mai\, Son La Red Cross\, VCA facilitator. \nThe workshop was attended by many Gender and Diversity\, and DRR experts \nContributing to the workshop were VCA facilitators\, and Gender and Diversity and Disaster Risk Reduction experts from government and non-government organizations such as the Red Cross Branches of Lao Cai\, Son La\, Lai Chau\, Thanh Hoa\, Quang Tri; General Department of Disaster Management; Vietnam Women’s Union\, Vietnam Red Cross\, French Red Cross\, American Red Cross\, and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). \nBased on the IFRC “Gender-and-diversity-sensitive Vulnerability Capacity Assessment Guidance Note” and “Minimum Standard Commitments to Gender and Diversity”\, the workshop collected ideas to integrate Gender and Diversity into VNRC’s VCA process. \n“These tools introduced by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are very interesting. However\, it should be adapted to suit Vietnamese context and culture and support VCA facilitators – those who will use it – in collecting data. Moreover\, it should make local people feel comfortable to demonstrate their skills and knowledge and encourage their participation in the assessment.” – Mr. Do Quoc Anh\, Officer\, Vietnam Women’s Union. \nMr. Tran Si Pha\, Deputy Director\, Disaster Management Department\, Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) considered the experience of local VCA facilitators as a vital factor in maximizing the guidance’s effectiveness and achieving its’ goals for community. \n“This guidance is an important tool\, but it also depends on the facilitator’s skills and those skills do not simply come from training. Those skills are your own.” – Mr. Tran Si Pha\, Deputy Direct\, Disaster Management Department\, Vietnam Red Cross. \nMr. Pha also stated after this workshop that the VNRC will finalize the guidelines based on the ideas presented and discussed at the workshop\, and will organize (tentatively in November 2017) a training of the VCA facilitators based on the updated (G&D-inclusive) VCA guidelines. \n  \nWritten by Hoang Huyen\, Communications Officer\, the French Red Cross in Vietnam

SUMMARY:Philippines Disaster Law Training for Philippine Red Cross Chapters | 20-22 September 2017 | Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippine Red Cross\, in partnership with the IFRC\, recently concluded a training of Chapter facilitators on disaster law in the Philippines. This was made possible through the Regional Resilience Initiative (RRI) funded by Global Affairs Canada through Canadian Red Cross. \nPhilippine Red Cross Chapter Administrators and technical staff coming from 20 Chapters across Luzon\, Visayas and Mindanao were provided an orientation on disaster law basics and facilitation tools and skills to carry out the orientation. \nTraining participants were selected based on their knowledge of basic disaster risk management (DRM) concepts and principles\, relevant experience in community-level work\, and regular interaction with local government stakeholders and DRM institutions such as Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (LDRRMC). The trainees are expected to be the first pool of local Chapter officers who will have the skills to facilitate local level disaster law trainings to communities in the future\, so they are better equipped to exercise their rights\, roles and responsibilities prior and during disasters. \nKeeping communities at the center \nThe training not only touched on the basics of advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy\, but also cross-cutting disaster law themes\, and other successful advocacy strategies implemented at the local level.  During the training\, information was shared by resource persons from IFRC as well as key departments of Philippines Red Cross\, including Health Services\, Welfare Services\, and Disaster Management Services. The Office of Civil Defense\, Department of Interior and Local Government\, CARE Philippines (Partners for Resilience)\, and Ateneo de Manila University Development Studies Programme also shared insights with participants. \nThis approach forms part of a new approach to ensure disaster law is more accessible\, known and understood at community level.  It focuses on 3Rs — rights\, roles and responsibilities — in disaster risk management law. With their wide network of staff and community volunteers\, Red Cross Chapters have the opportunity to carry out this work at the community level and\, vice versa\, to bring community voices in the decision-making table. \nThe first day focused on basic domestic legal and policy documents covering the four pillars of DRM — disaster prevention and mitigation\, preparedness\, response and recovery. It also included a discussion of cross-cutting themes in disaster law\, such as the Dignity\, Access\, Participation and Safety (DAPS) Framework\, gender and diversity\, disability inclusion\, special laws on the protection of women and children and disasters\, and integrated risk management.  From these concept-based lectures\, the training progressed towards local level DRM planning guidelines and basic advocacy skills\, tools that will enable training participants to apply their knowledge in disaster law in influencing community-level DRM programmes and advocacies. \nOne of the highlights of the training was the interactive simulation of the “3Rs Lego Game”\, where participants used Lego picture cards to identify the respective rights\, roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in a disaster response setting like Typhoon Haiyan. Another highlight was the “advocacy elevator pitch” exercise\, an interactive session that allowed participants to role play as advocates and practice their skills at quick but effective advocacy messaging. \nThe dissemination of rights\, roles and responsibilities under disaster law frameworks serves as an important highlight of Philippines Red Cross role as a leading actor of community-based driven advocacy and action nationally and in Southeast Asia. \nThe local level disaster law course is scheduled to be rolled out by the trained facilitators with assistance from PRC NHQ this October in their respective chapters. The recently published IEC (Information\, Education\, and Communication) brochure on Disaster Law Key Messages for Inclusive Community Participation\, will also be used and distributed during the training. \nSee Report of the training\, annex 1\, annex 2 and annex 3.
