The permanent coordinating role of the local governmentwas vital in conducting such a long-term, multi-stakeholder programme involvingnational and provincial water agencies, a regional biodiversity conservation instituteand a group of community-based organizations. Uncertainty and scepticism amongstakeholders regarding extracting groundwater was overcome by establishing a participatorymonitoring committee and preparing relevant sets of baseline data.Essential 9Many partners, one system: An integrated flood earlywarning system for JakartaJakarta, Indonesia(From UNISDR, Local Governments and Disaster Risk Reduction – Good practices andlessons learned, Geneva, April 2010.)Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, has a high flood risk – it is a coastal city and is the exitpoint of 13 rivers. Some 40 per cent of Jakarta lies below sea level and the provincialauthority area includes 110 islands. Hydrometeorological hazards have inflicted muchdamage in coastal areas and on residential areas near the river banks. During the annualand five-yearly floods, Jakarta has lost billions of dollars’ worth of investment in buildingand infrastructure.Integrating improvements into the flood early warning system for Jakarta has been atrue multi-stakeholder process, involving a huge range of local authorities and partners.By managing everyone’s interests and roles and improving coordination, the earlywarning system was upgraded from top to bottom. Technical improvements mean thatearlier flood warnings are now possible. But more importantly, preparedness capacityhas been built and streamlined. Key coordination hubs and standard operating procedureshave been established and tested with comprehensive drills, so that institutionsand communities are now more ready to act on warnings.Essential 10Institution building and capacity building for localgovernmentsPakistan(From UNISDR, Local Governments and Disaster Risk Reduction – Good practices andlessons learned, Geneva, April 2010.)The earthquake that struck the northern border area of Pakistan on 8 October 2005was the nation’s most devastating disaster ever. It claimed more than 73,000 lives,injured more than 128,000 people, rendered 2.8 million people homeless and affected3.5 million people in an area of 30,000 square kilometres. The response from the government,civil society and international donors was swift. The government established
Strictly under embargo until Wednesday 22 September at 00:01 GMT (02:01 Geneva time)a Federal Relief Commission and an Earthquake Rehabilitation and ReconstructionAuthority (ERRA) to support medium- to long-term recovery and reconstructionefforts.Since its founding in October 2005, ERRA has integrated disaster risk reduction in allits reconstruction work and has initiated a disaster risk management programme forcommunity preparedness in the affected districts. In its reconstruction work, ERRAhas followed a disaster risk management approach of risk reduction, risk avoidance,risk transfer and risk management. ERRA has also worked on strengthening community-baseddisaster preparedness in line with the Hyogo Framework for Action. Thisauthority has worked directly with local governments to build institutional and communitypreparedness through new union council disaster management committeesand union council emergency response teams.Overall, this initiative has yielded concrete results such as a guidebook for mainstreamingdisaster risk reduction into development, hazard indication maps for the districtsof Mansehra and Muzaffarabad, and disaster management committees and emergencyresponse teams being established in 112 union councils across the two districts.Michele Cocchiglia, programme officer with the UNISDR Secretariat, contributed this text.World Disasters Report 2010 – Disaster data199
