National Plan for Disaster Management
- GCM Objective 2 - Minimize adverse drivers
To develop an early/medium/long-term recovery and rehabilitation strategy with strong inclusion of gender, children, senior citizens and disability for disaster-affected or displaced households. The strategy to have provision for recovery from riverbank erosion, drought and other localized disasters.
To promote regular disaster preparedness, response and recovery exercises, including evacuation drills, training and the establishment of area-based support systems, with a view to ensuring rapid and effective response to disasters and related displacement, including access to safe shelter, essential food and non-food relief supplies, as appropriate to local needs.
Creating national database with disaggregated data (gender, age and disability disaggregated) of displaced population.
Developing recovery and rehabilitation strategy with strong focus on gender, children, senior citizens & disability inclusion for households displaced by riverbank erosion.
Development of SOPs on flood/riverbank erosion response and recovery of displaced community.
To empower local authorities, as appropriate, through regulatory and financial means to work and coordinate with civil society, communities and indigenous peoples and migrants in disaster risk management at the local level.
The speed of urbanization will be an important driver of change: the majority of new migrants in urban areas will live in informal settlements or inadequate housing. Urban design, planning and delivery of services that both improves the quality of life for residents and makes expanding cities resilient to natural hazards will therefore be a priority.
