(b) Disaster reduction in national development planning should be promoted

Emphasizing also the importance of integrating risk reduction into all phases of disaster management, development planning and post disaster recovery,

Emphasizing the importance of addressing vulnerability and integrating risk reduction into all phases of natural disaster management, post natural disaster recovery and development planning,

Emphasizing the importance of addressing vulnerability and integrating risk reduction into all phases of natural disaster management, post natural disaster recovery and development planning,

Emphasizing the importance of addressing vulnerability and integrating risk reduction into all phases of natural disaster management, post natural disaster recovery and development planning,

Emphasizing also the importance of integrating risk reduction into development planning and post disaster recovery,

Finally, planning for disaster relief must emphasize the continuum between emergency help and development aid.

Furthermore, regional and international cooperation must be based on coherent and realistic national planning by disaster prone countries, and disaster prevention must be integrated as a matter of course into overall national and international development planning.

(n) Incorporate disaster risk assessments into the urban planning and management of disaster prone human settlements, in particular highly populated areas and quickly urbanizing settlements.

Furthermore, the effective planning of activities in post disaster and post conflict transitions must be improved.

Disaster recovery planning is a subset of a larger process known as business continuity planning and includes planning for resumption of applications, data, hardware, electronic communications (such as networking) and other IT infrastructure.

(iii) Including natural disaster risk mitigation, early warning, preparedness and post disaster considerations and related capacity building measures in human settlements planning and development, including at regional level

Its mission of disaster planning and preparation was dropped entirely, and its focus was altered to fight terrorists.

(a) More effective integration of disaster risk considerations into sustainable development policies, planning and programming at all levels, with special emphasis on disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and vulnerability reduction

(c) An integrated, multi hazard approach to disaster risk reduction should be factored into policies, planning and programming related to sustainable development, relief, rehabilitation, and recovery activities in post disaster and post conflict situations in disaster prone countries

Pollution, poor planning and the complete absence of sustainable preservation strategies are the main reasons of this environmental disaster.

Disaster risk mitigation and preparedness are integral to the planning of human settlements in countries prone to natural disasters.

The goal of this training is to strengthen capacity for public health disaster planning and management at district level.

Post disaster transitions also occur soon after the crisis phase, often beginning within weeks of the initial disaster and leaving little time for post crisis planning. Post disaster transitions also typically take place in the context of a functioning State.

Greater awareness in respect of natural disaster risk management planning and capacity building at the national level will be crucial.

The view was expressed that member States could include the threat of near Earth objects in their disaster preparedness planning.

(e) Cultural diversity, age, and vulnerable groups should be taken into account when planning for disaster risk reduction, as appropriate

The lack of an adequate and predictable funding base for disaster recovery widens sectoral and coordination gaps and impedes recovery planning.

Global initiatives are supporting the development of tools and guidelines to facilitate the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction into development planning frameworks.

Requests the United Nations system to improve its coordination of disaster recovery efforts, from relief to development, inter alia, by strengthening institutional, coordination and strategic planning efforts in disaster recovery, in support of national authorities

Urges Governments, in planning for disaster preparedness and responding to natural disasters, to integrate a gender perspective as well as to ensure that women take an active and equal role in all phases of disaster management

28. The Caribbean Community supported the efforts of the United Nations to intensify special economic and disaster relief assistance, and to link special economic and disaster relief assistance with the development planning of countries affected by disasters.

The National Institute for Disaster Management should also be strengthened in order to enable it to transcend the emergency planning stage and embark on the task of coordination with a view to preparing a national disaster management plan.

Disaster.

13. Notes that the Central Register of Disaster Management Capacities, including the Directory of Advanced Technologies for Disaster Response, has the potential to support planning preparedness and response activities, and requests the Secretary General to propose options to enhance its relevance

Disasters invariably divert funds from development programmes to emergency relief and recovery and the tsunami of 2004 highlighted once again the need for integration of disaster planning into development programmes, including the building of local capacity for disaster preparedness and response.

(a) Asia and the Pacific the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre of the Asian Institute of Technology (Bangkok) and the UNDP Development Training and Communication Planning Unit

Programmes formulated consisted of a mixture of capacity building of specialist national disaster management institutions combined with a systematic involvement of planning and sectorally based institutions.

The Plan of Action is an important instrument as a means of enabling national Governments to incorporate disaster reduction programmes into their development and environmental planning.

Questions were raised about the specific experience of African municipalities in the areas of waste management and garbage collection, disaster control and participatory approaches to urban planning.

Disaster risks related to changing social, economic, environmental conditions and land use, and the impact of hazards associated with geological events, weather, water, climate variability and climate change, are addressed in sector development planning and programmes as well as in post disaster situations.

Disaster beckoned.
