3. Feasability study for « Assessing community resilience in the face

of natural hazards »

1. The Orange Flag

What is it ?

A label awarded by the HCFDC to the communities that fulfil a number of criteria in terms of safeguarding and protection of the population against the majors risks and threats.

Also a mean of communicationfor the communities

HCFDC has signed a convention with the inter-agency ofthe UN for the « Making cities resilient » program of the UN-ISDR


1. The Orange Flag

How to obtain it?

A community has to connect on the website http://www.pavillon-orange.org/ and fill the questionnaire about :

Planning - Municipality involvement - Human resources training - Information to the population - Means – Community crisis management - Field intervention – Prevention- Budget


http://www.pavillon-orange.org/

And then ?

Points are given for each answers and the total amount of point is immediately calculated and displayed on the website.

A community with enough points can order the Orange Flag for a price relating to the number of inhabitants.

1. The Orange Flag


42 communities are now Awarded with the Orange Flagand number is increasing every year

1. The Orange Flag


In the same trend of the Orange flag, the Orange Shield is awarded to schools that fulfil numbers of criteria on pedagogic programs and safety measures in the face of major risks and threats to their pupil.

3. Feasability study for « Assessing community resilience in the face of natural hazards »

A 2 years program mainly funded by the Ministry of Ecology – General directorate for risk prevention

Goal of the study :

Be able to create an index to monitor, in the future, public policy balance between Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Reparation on different territorial scales.



Study area :

The “arrondissement” (or county)

Actors involved :

Local authorities – communities – State natural and industrial hazard prevention department – Hazardous industrial plants – Local Education Ministry Body

Data’s collect :

By questionnaires to each actors



An index built from 8 variables :

Ocurence – Intensity – Exposure – Vulnerability

Anticipation – Preparedness – Consciousness - Management

Meaning of each index :

Index 5 : a difference of 2 points for reactivity than gravity shows the ability to face unpredicted intensity of hazards Index 4: resilience is at a high level but with a positive difference of more than 2 points for reactivity than gravity, we consider this situation as an excessive expense of means. Anyway, this situation is still better than an equality of the gravity and reactivity marks. Index 3: gravity and reactivity marks are equal. We consider that the territory has set the conditions to develop a resilience level that will absorb the already known levels of hazard on the territory. Index 2 : 2 + : gravity is low and so is reactivity, but they are equal. The territory is kind of resilient, but no real work has been done to develop and improve it. 2 – : Gravity is 1 point over reactivity and the territory is not considered as resilient. Indice de 1: 1 +: Lack of reactivity is limited to 2 points. 1 – : Gravity is more than 2 points higher over reactivity.
