Answers
Answer:
Community members play a vital role in reducing the impact of a disaster. People at this level are often the most vulnerable to disaster and experience the greatest impacts for various reasons. Yet they are not passive victims. With knowledge of the local geology, the hazard context, and the livelihoods options available, local communities must be involved in disaster management programmes from the start, and supported by projects to develop the capacities and linkages that help overcome.
This technical brief produced by Practical Answers (the technical advice service of Practical Action) outlines how and why communities must participate in disaster mitigation. The paper draws on examples from Latin America, but is applicable anywhere. As it is often the same group of people that are affected worst by disasters and climate change, the community-based approach outlined here is a useful tool for adaptation. Note that the technical brief was originally written by Andrew Maskrey then director of IT Perú (now known as Soluciones Prácticas) for the Appropriate Technology magazine Volume 19/Number 3 December 1992.
Disasters only occur when a hazard arises in vulnerable conditions. Hazards occurring in uninhabited areas or in areas where economic activities and settlement patterns are not vulnerable do not cause disasters. It is above all the growth of vulnerability in the regional economies and their urban centres in Latin America that is responsible for the increasing impact of disasters on development, which in turn further increases vulnerability. Understanding what vulnerability is and how it arises is as key therefore to the disaster paradigm as is the study and analysis of natural hazards
Answer:
Restate important points. Create a summary of the disaster management plan by stating the main points in two to three sentences. Be as concise as possible, allowing this section to serve as a reference section that individuals can consult if they need the information quickly.
Point out any systems that are in the process of being established and explain how these systems will be used. If your school, business or community is actively setting up disaster response systems, describe these briefly in the conclusion. State when these improvements will be made and how the additions will alter the proposed plan.
Mention potential pitfalls. It does not do any good to pretend that your disaster management is fool-proof. If there are any identified weaknesses in your school, business or community's ability to respond to and recover from a disaster, mention these in the conclusion. The mentioning of these weaknesses allows individuals to be prepared and have the knowledge necessary to respond appropriately to disaster.
List plans for the future. Near the end of your conclusion, add a few sentences that detail what improvements you could make in the future to enhance the disaster preparedness of your school, business or community. This final section of the disaster management plan can be referenced at a later date and used as a starting point for modernization or improvement effort.
