Exploring🧭 social and economic vulnerabilities and capacities of flood affected people in Limburg, the Netherlands. noah huibers presented his research findings at the Red Cross Netherlands HQ and led a very interesting discussion on i.e.: ▶ Risk communication📢: despite all the resources and stakeholders and some great initiatives like the NAZL and efforts at municipal level, communication and information sharing mandates are lacking, unclear or segregated. What is causing this and what can be done about it for the benefit of those at risk? ▶ How can trust of citizens in Disaster Risk Reduction efforts of authorities🏢 be improved? ▶ It shows the special nature of disasters🌀, in which a myriad of stakeholders, sectors and disciplines all intersect and in which the local capacities and response have the most impact, even in the Netherlands.   A big thanks to (Red Cross:) Rick Hollander, Suzanne van den Haselkamp, Laura Uyterlinde, Yvonne Rijnja, Mitchell Deben (Municipality of Venlo:) Anke Van Es for your great input and questions and the valuable impact you are making!⛑   When the research is completed, we'll come back with answers and ways forward. Well done so far Noah, and looking forward to the final thesis.   At the course International Development Management (Bachelor and Master) at Van Hall Larenstein students are trained in i.e. Disaster Risk Management. In this, we go deep into the preventive (addressing root causes) and responsive sides of disaster and conflict management.   Do you want to become a Disaster Risk Management expert as well?

Disaster Management Bill 2024: The Need For A Holistic And Adaptive Framework For Resilience – IMPRI Impact And Policy Research Institute

Precision Risk offers a comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by natural disasters. By leveraging advanced modeling techniques and data-driven insights, we provide accurate and timely risk assessments that enable individuals, businesses, and governments to: Make informed decisions regarding land use, development, and emergency preparedness. Identify and prioritize vulnerable areas for targeted mitigation efforts. Develop effective risk management strategies to minimize losses and protect assets. Enhance disaster response and recovery by understanding the potential impacts and anticipating critical needs. Through our innovative solutions, we aim to empower stakeholders to proactively address natural disaster risks and build more resilient communities.

📚 If you haven't read it yet, this is perfect for your weekend reading! 🚨 The European Commission's Joint Research Centre released a new report in June on Europe's cross-border risks. The document highlights critical areas such as floods, droughts, and the necessity of climate adaptation. It shows that these events are becoming more common and severe, affecting our economy and daily lives. Key points related to the EOTEC DevNet focus areas: ✔ Floods: The report discusses major flood events in recent years, noting that economic damages from riverine floods are expected to rise significantly. For example, the severe floods in July 2021 affected several countries, causing over 243 deaths and billions in recovery costs. ✔ Droughts: The impact of droughts is projected to escalate dramatically, with annual drought losses in the EU + UK potentially exceeding €65 billion by the end of the century without climate action. The recent droughts have already caused substantial agricultural and energy sector losses. ✔ Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre: The report highlights the role of the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre in improving how we handle and prepare for these risks. It helps build capacity and shares knowledge to support disaster risk reduction and resilience. 📚 Check out the full report for more insights and strategies: https://lnkd.in/exFByZrM #ClimateAdaptation #Floods #Droughts #DisasterPreparedness #EUScienceHub #CrossBorderRisks #EmergingRisks

🌍 Building Resilience: International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2024 On this International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, Synqron is dedicated to creating safer and more resilient communities. As natural disasters become more frequent, the infrastructure sector plays a vital role in reducing risks. By adopting comprehensive disaster risk management strategies, we can minimise vulnerabilities and strengthen infrastructure to withstand crises. At Synqron, we know resilience goes beyond durable structures—it’s about protecting lives, communities, and ecosystems. Our projects prioritise disaster risk reduction by incorporating sustainable, adaptable designs that help safeguard the future. Together, let's build a world where infrastructure is both a shield and a source of hope in times of need. #DisasterRiskReduction #ResilientCommunities #SustainableInfrastructure #RiskMitigation #SynqronSupports

One of my sources for staying updated on the latest NEWS about disaster happening in the Philippines about Tropical Storm Kristine (Trami) is through broadcast media. Appreciating the role of the Media in providing NEWS about the event. Continuous improvement in Disaster Risk Management is still a key program to prepare and ensure our survival in times of calamities. ·        Awareness and compliance of people in following disaster and risk protocols in places where hazard may happen. ·        Timely forecast of disaster and impact, real time information of events happening, faster response time in mitigating the impact of disaster to people, collaboration and availability of necessary resources. ·        Commitment of the relevant organization and people in government and non-government institutions in performing disaster risk reduction management.

According to United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the 2024 Global Status Report on Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS) highlights significant progress and ongoing challenges in disaster risk management. Countries have also taken actions to reduce the negative impacts of disasters through investment and capacity development in MHEWS globally, bringing direct benefits in reducing the human cost of disasters. The report also highlights that, 108 countries had reported the presence of Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems (MHEWS), 55 percent of all countries worldwide and more than twice the number recorded in 2015. While more than half of the world's countries have MHEWS in place, significant progress is still required to achieve universal coverage in mitigating the impacts of disasters.

𝗦𝗟𝗦𝗨-𝗧𝗢 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗗𝗥𝗥𝗠𝗢 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 Southern Leyte State University-Tomas Oppus (SLSU-TO) has teamed up with the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) of LGU Tomas Oppus and LGU Malitbog to conduct a series of crucial disaster preparedness drills. This initiative aligns with Republic Act 10121, which advocates for a multi-sectoral and community-based approach to disaster risk management through the National Disaster Risk Management Framework. Both LGU Tomas Oppus and LGU Malitbog have supported these drills by providing expertise and resources. As SLSU-TO continues to advance its disaster preparedness programs, the university exemplifies proactive disaster management. These drills are a vital reminder of the importance of preparedness and the shared responsibility of educational institutions and local governments in ensuring community safety. These efforts also support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11, which focuses on making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. By investing in disaster preparedness and risk management, SLSU-TO and its partners contribute to building a more resilient community, that aligns with global objectives for sustainable development.

Disaster preparedness is already part and parcel of climate adaptation and so ERM has to evolve towards an ecosystem risk management perspective where contingency planning including liquidity contingency planning, resource planning, DRP and BCP goes hand in hand with ERM and crisis management (which also encompasses incident response and management)! May those who lost their lives RIP 🙏
