5Scope Multi-hazard
- Geological Hazards
- Earthquake (primary) 1150,000
- Landslides (secondary) 150,000
- Hydro-meteorological Hazards
- Floods scale 1150,000
- Drought scale 1150,000 or smaller
- Tropical Cyclones scale 1100,000
6Mayon Mudflow Disaster, Philippines
Mayon Volcano the most active volcano in
Philippines, 150 miles south of Manila, gt 2400
meters (8,000 feet) tall.
Recent eruption February 28, 2006
Typhoon Durian Nov. 30, 2006 Torrential
rains? Mudslides ? Death Toll gt1000 Houses
destroyed 66,191 buried houses
7- Lesson learnt from Mayon Mudflow Disaster,
Philippines - Disaster preparedness based on multi-hazards
assessment - Hazard assessment from a systems perspective.
8Scope Multi-sectoral exposure
- Population urban, rural (age, gender, income)
- Buildings residential, commercial, industrial,
public - Livelihoods industry, agriculture, tourism
- Critical facilities health system, schools,
governmental, police, fire stations - Lifelines roads, bridges, airports, ports,
railways, sewage, telecommunications, power, etc
9Main Activities - Overview
- Step 1 Country situation analysis
- Step 2 Hazard assessment
- Step 3 Exposure assessment
- Step 4 Vulnerability assessment
- Step 5 Risk estimation and profiling
- Step 6 Identification of high-risk areas
- Step 7 Identification of risk treatment measures
10Main Activities - Tasks
- Step 1 Situation Analysis
- Comprehensive inventory of existing data and
studies - Integration of existing studies
- Gap and needs identification
- Step 2 Hazard Assessment
- Identification of sources (active seismic faults,
cyclone track patterns, precipitation patterns) - Identification of hazard-prone areas based on
historic data - Characterization of hazards (in terms of
probability and intensity) - Development of probabilistic hazard zones and
event intensity maps (return periods 25, 50,
100, 200, 500 years) - Development of composite hazard zones
(multi-hazards)
11Main Activities - Tasks
- Step 3 Exposure Assessment
- Categorization of exposed elements at risk
(population, infrastructure, livelihoods,
critical facilities lifelines) - Exposure surface models using dasymetric mapping
methods or RADIUS approach - Step 4 Vulnerability Assessment
- Compilation of vulnerability functions for all
the categories of elements at risk (based on
historic damage patterns) - Comprehensive damage-loss algorithms for each
category of elements at risk
12Main Activities - Tasks
- Step 5 Risk Estimation and Profiling
- Probable maximum losses (PMLs) (return periods
25, 50, 100, 200, 500 years) - Risk expressed in terms of human impact
(mortality) and financial impact (absolute value
and fraction of GNP) - Risk aggregation to district or county level
- Risk profiling by hazard, district, return period
- Thematic risk profiles (social, productive,
infrastructure) - Composite risk profiles (multi-hazard) for
relevant return periods
13Main Activities - Tasks
- Step 6 Identification of high-risk areas
- Loss/impact type
- Hazard
-
- Step 7 Identification of risk management
measures - Risks to avoidance, reduction, transfer,
retention (preparedness) - Cost-effective analysis
14Key Results
- A comprehensive national disaster risk profile
including national risk atlas - A set of sound DRR measures
- National standards and methodologies
- A National Risk Information System
- Risk assessment results are readily available in
real-time to all potential users - Local capacity development
- Capacity development at district level
- Understanding and application of risk assessment
results

30Implementation
- How long will it take?
- 24 months
- Who implements NRA?
- National working group under supervision of
relevant national authorities and with extensive
supports from Multi-stakeholders
31Implementation Work Plan
32Implementation Governance
33Supports from GRIP
- Technical support and advice
- Methodologies and tools, training, proposal
preparation, project development, etc. - Coordination and overview
- Interaction with other countries
- Access to financial assistance
34Sharing of experiences
- Other countries are doing similar work
- Mozambique, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Armenia, Belize,
Ecuador - Integration at regional level
- Compatible results (same methodology)
- Development of regional DRR strategies
- Contribution to Global Risk Update
35Summary
- NRA aims to support national decision/policy
makers to shape national DRR strategy and action
plans - NRA should be multi-hazard, and comparable and
aggregatable - NRA is a 7-step process
- An integrated governance and coordination
mechanism is highly essential to the success of a
NRA exercise.
