  1. IT IS TIME FOR THE DRD[DISASTER RESILIENCE DIVIDEND]AUGUST 26, 2012 Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

  2. THE DISASTER RESILIENCE DIVIDEND The DRD is HEALTH on a global scale

  3. "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-beingand not merely the absence of disease or infirmity“ WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION

  4. HAZARD MAPS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • LOCATION • POLICIES / PRACTICES:: • PROTECTION • PREPAREDNESS • EARLY WARNING • EM. RESPONSE • RECOVERY & RECONSTUCT INTEGRATED GOALS RISK ASSESSMENT ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK DISASTER RESILIENCE YOUR COMMUNITY DATA BASES AND INFORMATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

  5. DISASTER RESILIENCE IS THE RESULT OF INTEGRATING RESEARCH AND SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM “DISASTER LABORATORIES” WITH EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND THE COMMUNITY’S POLITICAL PROCESS FORD

  6. THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION 1. PROTECTION (IMPLEMENTATION OF BUILDING CODES AND LIFELINE STANDARDS; SITE-SPECIFIC DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR ESSENTIAL AND CRITICAL FACILITIES) …

  7. THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION (Continued) 2. PREPAREDNESS (HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENTS; DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIOS;PRE-EVENT PLANNING FOR POST-EVENT RECOVERY) …

  8. THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION (Continued) 3. EARLY WARNING (LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND GLOBAL MONITORING; ADVISORY, WATCHES AND WARNING MESSAGES, EVACUATION)…

  9. THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION (Continued) 4. EMERGENCY RESPONSE (SITUATION ASSESSSMENTS; EMERGENCY MEDICAL; MASS CARE; SEARCH AND RESCUE; EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION, LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE)…

  10. THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION (Continued) 5. RECOVERY & RECONSTRUCTION: “PEPPERED” FOR RESTORATION OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO NORMAL, LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND GLOBAL BUSINESS RESUMPTION; CASUALTY INSURANCE, INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE…

  11. GLOBAL EDUATIONAL SURGES WILL HELP MAKE THE DRD A REALITY BENEFIT/COST = 7 BILLION

  12. GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SURGES:A WAY TO CAUSE A PARADIGM SHIFT FROM A TREND OF INCREASING DISASTERS TO GLOBAL HEALTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY

  13. FOUR UNIVERSAL ROOT CAUSES OF DISASTERS IGNORANCE APATHY DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES UNWISE DECISIONS

  14. A DISASTER is --- --- the set of failures that occur when three continuums: 1)  people, 2) community (i.e., a set of habitats, livelihoods, and social constructs), and 3) recurring events (e.g., floods, earthquakes, ...,) intersect at a point in space and time, when and where the people and community are not ready.  

  15. REALITY 101 DISASTER = KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT TRANSFER AND IMPLEMEN- TATION DISASTER RESILIENCE = KNOWLEDGE WITH TRANSFER AND IMPLEMEN-TATION

  16. REALITY 101A disaster is the result of NOT IMPLEMENTING knowledge-based policies to reduce vulnerability and risk

  17. LET’S AGREE THAT AN EDUCATIONAL SURGE TO BUILD EDUCATIONAL, TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL CAPACITY TO REDUCE DISASTERS IN EVERY COMMUNITIY OF THE WORLD, STARTING WITH OUR OWN , IS REALISTIC

  18. LET’S ENVISION A GLOBAL SURGE IN EDUCATIONAL, TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL CAPACITY BUILDING THAT IS DESIGNED TO MAKE ALL COMMUNITIES OF THE WORLD DISASTERRESILIENT

  19. LET’S AGREE THAT THE INTEGRATION OF EACH COUNTRY’S HISTORY OF PAST DISASTERS IS THE BEST KNOWLEDGE BASE FOR LAUNCHING A GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SURGE

  30. LET’S AGREE THAT WE CAN LINK UP STRATEGICLY AND TACTICLY START WHERE YOU LIVE! START WITH EXISTING PARTNERS AND ENGAGE NEW PARTNERS! START WITH YOUR HOMES! START WITH YOUR SCHOOLS! START WITH YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE!

  31. LINKED SURGES A GLOBAL RESOURCE A GLOBAL PLATFORM KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE DISASTER RISK REDUCTION FOR COMMUNITIES CONTINUING EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE DISASTER LABORATORIES ISLAND NATIONS PARTNERS: EDUCATIONAL SURGES SUBSAHARA AFRICA REGION PARTNERS: - Strategic Interactions - LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN REGION PARTNERS: CAPACITY BUILDING EUROPEAN REGION PARTNERS: PRIMERS MEDITERRANEAN REGION PARTNERS: MEETINGS ASIAN REGION PARTNERS: TURNING POINTS FOR CHANGE NORTH AMERICAN REGION PARTNERS:

  32. EXAMPLE: WE CAN AND SHOULD GO FROM “GEM“ TO - - -

  33. EXAMPLE CONTINUED-- “GERR"

  34. LAWS THAT FACILITATE THE PARADIGM SHIFT LAW OF MOUNT EVEREST LAW OF THE BIG PICTURE LAW OF THE NICHE A FRAMEWORK FOR: THE JOURNEY TOWARDS DISASTER RESILIENCE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE LAW OF THE PRICE TAG LAW OF THE CATALYST LAW OF THE COMPASS LAW OF THE CHAIN
