Disaster risk reduction involves systematic efforts to analyze and reduce the causes of disasters through avoiding hazards, reducing social and economic vulnerability, and improving preparedness. It aims to substantially reduce disaster losses in lives and assets. Disaster management encompasses all aspects of planning for and responding to disasters, including both pre- and post-disaster activities. It refers to managing both the risks and consequences of disasters. A disaster is defined as a serious disruption of a society's functioning causing widespread human, material or environmental losses that exceed the society's ability to cope using its own resources.
This document discusses risk analysis and management. It defines risk analysis as a systematic, proactive approach to dealing with uncertainty to help organizations meet their goals efficiently and effectively. Risk comes from any factor that could affect an organization's ability to achieve its objectives, and should be seen as an opportunity rather than a danger. Good risk management involves simple, systematic documentation that identifies an organization's approach and attitude toward risk. The document outlines various methods for risk identification, assessment, and response, including rich pictures, PEST analysis, stakeholder analysis, SWOT analysis, fault trees, event trees, and risk matrices.
The document outlines key elements for a total integrated development approach to school improvement planning including teacher qualifications and attitudes, active learning methods with appropriate aids, active participation of children and parents in governance, a safe and effective learning environment, relevant curriculum, empowered school leadership, adequate government budget allocation and supervisory support, student preparedness, and community, parent and child participation. It also discusses integrating disaster risk reduction into SIP by understanding hazards and capacities, involving children in analysis, adhering to safety standards, conducting emergency drills, integrating a disaster risk management plan, and accessing calamity funds. Values in integrating DRR into all school subjects and activities are also emphasized.

1) Climate change adaptation involves adjusting systems in response to actual or expected climate impacts to moderate harm or exploit opportunities. Many disaster risk reduction measures can directly contribute to better adaptation.
2) The Hyogo Framework for Action provides the foundation for implementing disaster risk reduction and calls for integrating risk reduction for current climate variability and future climate change into strategies.
3) Implementing disaster risk reduction policies and programs can limit climate-related hazard impacts, directly support adaptation, and help reduce poverty, offering a triple benefit. Political commitment is needed to drive cross-sector action.
The document discusses risk and disaster risk assessment at the community and school levels. It defines risk as the chance of a negative outcome from an action or inaction, and disaster risk as the likelihood of a hazard affecting a vulnerable community. Community risk assessment is described as a participatory process involving hazard, vulnerability, capacity, and risk perception analysis. School risk assessment similarly involves analyzing hazards, vulnerabilities, capacities, and risk perceptions specific to a school. The purpose of school risk assessment is to develop a common understanding of disaster risk, identify appropriate risk reduction measures, raise risk awareness, and collect baseline data to evaluate preparedness projects.

The document discusses mainstreaming disaster risk management (DRM) into development work. It outlines steps to mainstream DRM institutionally, such as raising awareness and developing tools and methodologies. It also discusses the Hyogo Framework for Action's five priority areas: governance, risk assessment, knowledge and education, risk management, and preparedness and response. Finally, it presents workshops and an action plan for mainstreaming DRM at the community, program unit, and country office levels.

The document discusses mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR) into development work. It recommends mainstreaming DRR by ensuring risk assessment and management are addressed in strategic frameworks, policies, and individual project design. The steps for institutional mainstreaming of DRR include awareness raising, developing enabling environments and tools, training, and measuring progress through learning and experience sharing. The Hyogo Framework for Action's five priority areas for building disaster resilient communities are also outlined.
The document summarizes rights-based participatory risk assessment and planning (RiPRAP) for hazards, which involves community members examining hazards, vulnerabilities, capacities, and impacts on human and children's rights. It describes assessing the nature, speed of onset, frequency, duration, and force of hazards. It also outlines assessing vulnerabilities of elements at risk like people, structures, facilities, livelihoods and the environment, and the causes of vulnerabilities. Tools for assessment include maps, walks, calendars and interviews. The progression of vulnerability from underlying causes to unsafe conditions is depicted. Assessments of community capacities in times of crisis are also summarized.
EAR ARM is a tool to help ActionAid country programs develop contingency plans for potential disasters and emergencies. It identifies hazards in geographical locations and provides information and systems to rapidly respond. It supports quick fundraising and identifies opportunities and gaps. The EAR ARM structure includes demographic information, hazards profiles, ActionAid policies, human resources issues, and linkage analyses with partners, donors, media, and other agencies. A participatory vulnerability analysis provides community information required to complete initial EAR ARM sections and helps develop subsequent section linkages.
This document provides background on Nepal's vulnerability to various natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, etc. due to its steep terrain and geomorphic conditions. It discusses the key hazards including floods, landslides, earthquakes, and glacial lake outburst floods. The document also outlines ActionAid Nepal's (AAN) engagement in emergency response and disaster risk reduction, including projects implemented to improve resilience of over 125,000 vulnerable people. It introduces AAN's Emergency Alert, Review and Response Mechanism (EARARM) which guides emergency preparedness and response operations in Nepal.
This document outlines AAN's contingency plan for responding to different types of emergencies. It discusses:
1) Potential stakeholders to engage with including donors, government ministries, and civil society organizations.
2) Plans for different disaster types including flood/landslide, conflict, and earthquake/fire which identify at-risk areas and preparedness, response, and recovery activities.
3) Guidelines for human resources, security, funding, and logistics to support an effective emergency response. The plan aims to strengthen relationships and coordination to mobilize resources for communities impacted by disasters.

Nepal faces significant risks from various natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and epidemics. Over the past 37 years, disasters have killed over 21,000 people in Nepal and affected nearly 5 million. Each year an estimated 1,000 people die from disasters while around 150,000 people are affected and 16,000 families are displaced from their homes. The country suffers estimated economic losses of over 1.2 billion NPR annually from disasters, making Nepal one of the most at-risk countries globally in terms of earthquakes, flood risk, and climate change impacts.

This paper discusses ActionAid Nepal's efforts to mainstream disaster risk reduction (DRR) education in Nepal's school curriculum from 2006-2010. They worked with Nepal's curriculum development center to include DRR topics in textbooks for grades 9 and 10 to teach students about disaster risks and solutions. While the government has incorporated DRR in textbooks, more must be done to ensure DRR policies are enacted and momentum for DRR education is maintained. The paper aims to share their experience to influence DRR education activists and stakeholders.
