The disaster-development interface needs a manifestation of its underlying contents and intent to make disaster risk reduction strategy a reality. There are many measures that can be adopted to build an interface between disasters and development. It is a protracted process, which can be facilitated by effective resilience, training, education, capacity building, and information dissemination efforts. The relationship between disasters and development is depicted below: (– +) Development Realm (– +) Development can increase vulnerability Development can decrease vulnerability Negative Realm Disaster can slow down development Disaster can provide development opportunities Positive Realm (– –) Disaster Realm (+ –) Source: Training-Module for NGOs on Disaster Risk Management, 2007 If analyzed in context of the World Bank’s 1991 Environment Strategy and the disaster-development matrix, which is relevant even today, we can say that by promoting certain development measures, the disaster impact can be made less severe, especially in the coastal areas. These include: Establishing a regional early warning system Applying construction setbacks, greenbelts and other no-build areas in each region Regulating building safety codes and laws Sustaining measures to check unplanned urbanization through laws, regulations, zoning Training for builders, planners, civil engineers and attainment of professional qualifications Promoting early resettlement with provision for safe housing; debris clearance; potable water, sanitation and drainage services Providing for access to sustainable livelihood options Enhancing the ability of the natural system to act as a bio-shield to protect people Restoring wetlands, mangroves, spawning areas, sea grass beds and coral reefs Seeking alternative construction design that is cost-effective, appropriate and consistent 49
Raising public awareness amongst children and adults Documenting and disseminating information Introducing mock rehearsals and drills at the community level Incorporating basic disaster management principles in school / college curricula Encouraging public-private partnership for disaster management Monitoring Disaster Management Programmes Mainstreaming Disaster Management DID YOU KNOW? Disaster management is being mainstreamed into development planning process through structural measures, non-structural measures and mitigation projects. Disaster risk reduction measures will be incorporated into developmental programmes involving construction of buildings etc., such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Indira Awaas Yojna, Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission etc. Generating knowledge and building capacity on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) at all levels is the key to mainstream DRR into development process. 50
