This document discusses stakeholders in disaster management. It identifies several key stakeholders that are involved in disaster prevention, preparedness, response and recovery, including communities, media, NGOs, the private sector, educational institutions, and international agencies. Each of these stakeholders plays an important role across the disaster management cycle, from creating awareness and training to providing resources, assistance and support during and after disasters. The document emphasizes that effective disaster risk reduction and management requires involvement and coordination between multiple stakeholders, not just the government, highlighting their collective responsibilities in building disaster resilience.
4. INTRODUCTION
Who are Stakeholders?
The stakeholders in emergency risk management are those
individuals or organisations that may contribute to, be affected
by or be involved in the planning, response or recovery from an
emergency situation [1].
5. INVOLVEMENT OF MUTI-STAKEHOLDERS IN
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
➢ The Yokohama Strategy (1994) integration of the private sector in disaster reduction efforts
through promotion of business opportunities.
➢ High Power Committee (1999) advocated setting up of system where private sector efforts
could be integrated with national efforts.
➢ The Hyogo Framework (2005-2015) advocated corporate roles in reducing disaster risks of
communities. It introduced role of multi-stakeholders in DM process.
➢ The Sendai Framework (2015-2030) recognizes that the State has the primary role to reduce
disaster risk but that responsibility should be shared with other stakeholders including local
government & private sector [2].
14. CONCLUSION
Globally disaster risk mitigation and management is now taken-
up as everybody’s business. Thus, the role of multi-stakeholders
is increasingly realised not only for the responsibilities of
reducing the risks of disasters but also for the capacity building.
