A Review of Water Management and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Lower Middle Income Countries.
This paper will focus on a review of the challenges and opportunities for Water Manage-ment and Disaster Risk Reduction in post disaster environments in lower middle Income Countries . The review will draw on grass roots experience from both Indonesia and Philippines. The paper will outline the cost effectiveness of proactive strategies that consider disaster risk reduction as an integrated component of water management (as strongly indicated in AusAID policy for DRR.) From Indonesia the reviewed will focus on how SurfAid International has cut into a niche corporate sector to attract funds to support social and environmental services in post dis-aster environments. The paper will look at three programs implemented in parallel by SurfAid International building health wellbeing and self-reliance of remote island communi-ties. Efforts from IWRM projects in Davao will also be consider and how they have pro-duced unintended, but welcome, outcomes in build the resilience of upland communities. Opportunities for better integration between water management and DRR will then be pre-sented. The Symposium main theme which aims "to identify business opportunities for water sec-tor to integrate into an expanding environmental services industries" will be tackled by looking at the challenges in funding and sustaining funding for water management in post disaster environments. We will review the increasing role of the philanthropy in supporting recovery from disasters and the need to shift from responsive to proactive strategies for disaster management. The paper will present how water management and DRR strategies are both compatible and necessary to enable sustainable development, particularly in dis-aster prone SE Asia. Finally the paper will apply these lessons and project a vision of how HELP Basins could become a local catalyst, creating a demand for water knowledge services that guides wa-ter actors to be proactive in engage a full spectrum of stakeholders for a truly diversified water business environment that is focus on social, economic and environment outcomes.

Editor's Notes
- Three key program areas health, water and emergency preparedness. Being in a high risk region we also have PSS and ER programs
- SurfAid are the main proponent behind joining HELP Network
- Disaster risk reduction is all about investigating in tangible risk reduction measures that reduce vulnerability and protect development gains
- Looking at the disaster cycle from the from disaster lens. Unfortunately a emergencies still tends to be the common start for DM efforts. Here will look at the entry points for integrating water and DM.
- SurfAid & communities emergency preparedness activities : erected signposts pointing to an evacuation site. Children participated in earthquake simulation drills at school families prepared emergency bags with essential documents and emergency items.
- However with seismic oscillations , the water level usually comes back to the pre-earthquake value within minutes or tens of minutes after the earthquake,
- Communities have suffered due to loss of access to water but reported benefits of reduced number f mosiquito on the islands and simialarly drops in malaria rates on the inlands.
- The earthquake of 8.6M w occurred at 16:09:36 UTC (11:09:36 P.M. local time) on 28 March 2005. The hypocenter was located at 2 ｰ 04′35″N 97 ｰ 00′58″E / 2.07639 ｰ N 97.01611 ｰ E , 30 kilometres (19 mi) below the surface of the Indian Ocean , where subduction is forcing the Indo-Australian Plate to the south-west under the Eurasian plate 's Sunda edge. The earthquake lasted for about two minutes in total. In the twenty-four hours immediately after the event, there were eight major aftershocks, measuring between 5.5 and 6.0. On the Indonesian island of Nias , off the coast of Sumatra, hundreds of buildings were destroyed by the earthquake. The death toll on Nias was at least one thousand, with 220 dying in Gunungsitoli , the island's largest town. Nearly half of Gunungsitoli's population (27,000) fled the town.
- Considering Risk in IWRM is not new, but the full integration of disaster management as an integral component water management maybe. In the current climate of increasing disasters reported and the additional risk add by climate change means we can no longer not consider disaster management when we talk of water management. And no where in the world is more pertinent than SE Asia’s small island and moonsoon regions.
