Develop “How-to” resource books
that translate increased awareness
into action
Research on Urban disaster-risk
reduction, climate resiliency and
integration of research outcome in
capacity building programs
Organize Regional forums on disaster-risk
management for sharing experience and
sound practices
Build capacities to reduce risks
through incorporating
components of capacity building
in Programs
ADPC is involved in the field of Urban Disaster Risk Management since 1995 and so far
Worked with more than 50 cities in 12 Countries in Asia

Leading to Risk: Spatial Expansion of Cities in Asia
Flood Project Wall: What Height and Material should be…….??
Spatial growth is taking place on the areas that are not suitable for urban development.
In many of the cases, the cities have experienced huge physical and monetary damage from hazard events and are expected to suffer even more in the future as the urbanization trend continues.
With a view to enhancing disaster preparedness approaches, initiatives have been taken for conducting assessment for Understanding Urban Risk of several cities in the region.

Helps to understand the likely impact due to an event.
Applications of Risk Assessment
Provides cost efficient decision support on how to Prioritize investments into risk reducing measures of situation.
Help to formulate national policy objectives such as land use planning and building codes
Helps to Identify the appropriate risk management strategies

Preparation of Contingency Plan
Contingency Plans are prepared with regard to Hazards.
The plan may cover
• National Level
• City Level
• Community/ Ward Level and
• Agency Level
Contingency Planning
-
Land Use Planning policy has been revised with the provision of
incorporating Earthquake Risk concerns in to planning Process.
Practical Implications
Initiatives have been taken for Retrofitting First Responding
Agencies like Fire Services, Emergency Facilities like Hospitals.
Building Code has been revised on the Assessment Results.
-
Lesson Learned
Scientific knowledge and practices need to be understood and used
proactively by local Authorities for mitigating risks.
Land use planning/Development Plans, as an important push factor in
case of unplanned land development, needs to consider hazards in the
decision making process.
Community-level capacity building, awareness creation, effective
information dissemination and advocacy are effective tools in reducing
the vulnerability to natural hazard impacts and strengthening resilient
development process at local level.
