1) A flood insurance model was developed for Georgia based on detailed flood hazard and risk modelling within an integrated flood risk management framework.
2) The model included flood mapping, calculating risk scores and potential damage/losses, and developing an index-based insurance scheme with risk-based premiums and payout principles.
3) While the insurance scheme was not piloted during the initial project due to various challenges, efforts are ongoing to address flooding and other natural hazards through policy interventions like risk financing and early warning systems.
David Simmons notes that catastrophe insurance has traditionally focused on property loss but its scope is wider, such as disaster response. Existing catastrophe risk models do not account for second- and higher-order effects of critical infrastructure failures. Network analysis can help model how failures may diffuse through interconnected systems. Even with perfect models, risks may remain if key infrastructure components lie outside a country's borders.

The UNISDR originated in the 1960s in response to major earthquakes and hurricanes. During the 1970s-1980s, the UN focused on disaster assistance. The 1990s were declared the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. In 2000, the UNISDR was established to support disaster risk reduction efforts. It has helped coordinate global frameworks like the Hyogo Framework (2005-2015) and Sendai Framework (2015-2030) to build resilience to disasters.
This document summarizes the challenges faced by governments in financing disaster risks and the role of risk transfer solutions. It notes that the costs of natural disasters are growing and most losses are uninsured, burdening public sector budgets. A range of pre-event financing options are discussed to help governments plan for disaster impacts on infrastructure, emergency response costs, revenue losses, and supporting uninsured populations. Risk transfer solutions like insurance and catastrophe bonds can help spread sovereign disaster risks across global capital markets.
Promoting Climate Risk Reduction through Risk InsurancePrabhakar SVRK
Risk insurance can provide an effective means of catastrophic risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the developing countries. The ongoing discussions by the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change are putting substantial efforts to promote climate change adaptation through international cooperation in the form of providing additional finances and technologies including proposals to promote a global or regional climate risk insurance facility. Case studies from within and outside the Asia-Pacific region provide valuable lessons which could be used for promoting risk insurance by the future climate regime (post-Kyoto Protocol beyond 2012). The analysis of these risk insurance proposals to the Convention and comparison of what they intend to achieve with that of the existing issues within the risk insurance sector in the developing Asia-Pacific indicate that these proposals address some of the major issues that are limiting the spread of risk insurance. However, no single proposal is comprehensive enough to address all the issues and all the proposals lack details in terms of how they can achieve what they intend to achieve. There is a need for the proposals to the Convention to give more thought on how they address the issues such as high base risks, lack of historical data required for designing risk insurance systems, limited awareness in the utility of insurance instruments, keeping the premium prices within affordable levels, encouraging the role of private sector, enabling greater access to reinsurers, and instituting enabling policies to create a proactive risk mitigation environment with an eye on sustainability. A convergence approach wherein the proposals incorporate lessons from on-the-ground experiences from regional, national and local initiatives could provide an effective model for promoting the risk insurance.
Keynote 1 - Successful tools to support adaptationNAP Events
This document discusses building successful tools to support climate change adaptation. It notes that while tools providing climate information and guidance can help with adaptation, they are not enough on their own. It emphasizes that for tools to be useful, they must incorporate consultation with users during design, and undergo evaluation of how users interact with the tools. Barriers to adaptation go beyond just lack of information, and include lack of leadership, influence of vested interests, and lack of community support. Sometimes extreme events can drive adaptation, but outcomes are not always successful, so careful evaluation of adaptation measures is important.
Disaster risk reduction is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and reducing disaster risks through reducing vulnerabilities and environmental hazards. Risk is determined by the hazards a community faces and its vulnerabilities and capacity to withstand shocks. Those most at risk include the poor, women, elderly, children, and communities without experience with similar past disasters. Effective disaster risk reduction includes disaster preparation, integrating risk management into development, post-disaster needs assessments, and improved disaster financing and insurance.
Disaster risk management involves reducing risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage hazards, exposure, vulnerability, and capacity. It includes preparedness, response, and recovery efforts to lessen disaster impacts. The document outlines key concepts in disaster risk management, including defining disasters and different types, phases of management from risk reduction to recovery, and principles such as using an integrated and collaborative approach. Disaster risk is a function of hazards and vulnerability moderated by capacity. Risk analysis should involve communities to identify priorities and reduce social exclusions.

Community based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) aims to 1) reduce vulnerabilities and increase capacities of vulnerable groups to cope with disasters, 2) minimize human suffering, and 3) hasten recovery. CBDRR covers interventions designed by at-risk local communities based on their needs and capacities. Through CBDRR, communities can become more disaster resilient by withstanding and recovering from natural and socio-economic shocks. Key indicators of resilience include safety, livelihood security, and sustainable development.

This document discusses exposure and vulnerability to natural disasters. It defines vulnerability as characteristics that make a community susceptible to hazards. Factors include demographics, socioeconomics, infrastructure, and preparedness. There are four types of vulnerability - physical, social, economic, and environmental. Exposure refers to elements at risk like people, buildings, and infrastructure. Risk is the product of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. The Philippines faces high exposure and vulnerability due to its location, geology, poverty, and lack of disaster management capacity. It is frequently affected by typhoons, earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic eruptions.
The document discusses disaster risk reduction and management. It explains that a hazard only becomes a disaster when populations have vulnerabilities and lack response capacity. Risk is the probability of a hazard becoming a disaster. Disaster risk reduction aims to avoid or limit risks by addressing vulnerabilities and capacities. Key frameworks like the Hyogo Framework focus on making risk reduction a priority and understanding risks. Factors like gender must be considered in risk analysis to ensure appropriate response and reduce inequalities.

This document provides information on disaster management. It begins by defining a disaster and outlining the different phases of a disaster from acute to recovery. It then discusses the three main types of disasters and the purpose of disaster management. The document outlines the six phases of disaster management and how to control natural disasters. It discusses disaster risk reduction and management, noting that the goal is to reduce risk rather than just manage disasters after the fact. It concludes by stating that progress has been made in disaster response but more needs to be done to reduce underlying risks and incentivize risk reduction activities.

The document discusses Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). It defines DRR as systematic efforts to analyze and reduce causal factors of disasters through reducing exposure and vulnerability, managing land and environments, and improving preparedness. The document outlines DRR mechanisms like avoiding hazards, mitigating risks, responding to damage, and risk transfer. It provides examples of DRR initiatives in India and The Gambia, and summarizes the Sendai Framework for DRR 2015-2030 which includes 4 priority areas and 7 global targets to be achieved over 15 years.
A hazard alone does not cause a disaster; it has the potential to become a disaster when it impacts vulnerable populations with insufficient response capacity. Risk is the probability of a hazard becoming a disaster. Disaster risk reduction aims to avoid or limit risks by addressing vulnerabilities and strengthening capacities. It is important to consider gender in risk analysis to properly identify vulnerabilities and capacities, and design effective risk reduction programs. Failing to consider gender can lead to inadequate risk assessment and response.

This document provides an overview of disaster loss data collection and registration methods. It discusses the definition of disasters and debates around their natural or human-caused nature. It introduces DesInventar as a methodology for collecting disaster loss data at the national and local levels. Databases like EM-DAT and those maintained by insurance companies are mentioned, but they often lack sub-national data or consistent methodologies for comparison. Registering disaster losses is key to understanding risk and informing disaster risk reduction efforts.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in disaster management including definitions of disaster management, vulnerability, risk, and capacity from various organizations. It discusses the disaster management cycle including prevention, preparedness, relief and recovery. frameworks for action like the Hyogo Framework and Sendai Framework are summarized. Types of vulnerabilities like physical, social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities are outlined. Gender differences in disaster impacts are noted. Risk is defined as the probability of potential losses from hazards given vulnerabilities. Different approaches to risk like acceptance, avoidance and transfer are covered. Other terms like resilience and coping capacity are also defined.
An Assignment On Early Warning Is A Key Factor Of Risk Reduction For Disaster...Sabrina Baloi
Community-based early warning systems (CBEWS) empower local communities to protect themselves from hazards. CBEWS have four key elements: understanding risks, monitoring hazards, disseminating warnings, and enabling local responses. Effectively implementing CBEWS requires understanding community needs, fostering participation, and developing response capacities. Early warning systems can help reduce impacts from natural hazards like floods and cyclones, which frequently affect Bangladesh due to its geography, rivers, and monsoon climate. Establishing strong CBEWS requires coordination, reliable information sharing, and ensuring communities are prepared to act on warnings.
Risk financing and risk transfer mechanisms can help address the increasing costs of climate-related disasters. However, there are significant challenges to their implementation in developing countries, including a lack of suitable mechanisms, high costs, and insufficient evidence and demand. Effective integration of adaptation, risk management, and risk financing approaches is needed but has not always been achieved in practice.
This document discusses disaster management in ASEAN countries. It begins with an overview of current disaster risks and efforts in ASEAN, noting that while natural disasters cannot be stopped, preparedness can mitigate damage through emergency planning and infrastructure. It then reviews conceptual frameworks for different disaster types and levels of risk. The document outlines household and government risk management strategies pre- and post-disaster. It analyzes current challenges in ASEAN's underdeveloped disaster insurance markets and mechanisms for regional risk pooling. The document concludes with policy implications such as developing formal regional risk diversification facilities and regulatory support for disaster-linked insurance and data collection.
Social Protection-DRR-CCA-linkages discusses the linkages between social protection, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation. It defines social protection as mechanisms to combat poverty and reduce the impact of shocks. The four dimensions of social protection are protective, preventive, promotive, and transformative measures. Disaster risk reduction aims to reduce damage from natural hazards through prevention and preparedness. Climate change adaptation involves adjusting systems in response to actual or expected climate impacts. There are benefits to promoting CCA and DRR through social protection programs that protect vulnerable populations from climate risks and build resilience. Experience from programs in Asia and West Africa demonstrate the linkages between these domains.
Social protection aims to reduce poverty and vulnerability. It has 4 dimensions: protective, preventive, promotive, and transformative measures. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) reduces risks from natural hazards through prevention, mitigation and preparedness. Climate change adaptation (CCA) helps communities and ecosystems deal with climate impacts. Linking social protection, DRR and CCA can help promote climate resilience and reduce disaster risks through social protection programs.

The document discusses transparency and oversight of political party financing. It finds that financial contributions to political parties are not fully transparent and are still vulnerable to political and foreign influence. Additionally, financial reports from political parties are not always publicly available or submitted on time according to regulations.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
Integrating equity and social vulnerability into cost-benefit analysis for disaster risk reduction / flood risk management
1. Integrating equity and social vulnerability
into cost-benefit analysis for disaster risk
reduction / flood risk management

2. Introduction
What is the problem?
The poor are highly exposed to floods
The poor own little assets
Traditional approaches for flood risk assessments and CBAs
focus on asset damages
“It is inefficient to protect the poor”
This is incorrect from a social welfare / economic perspective:
Incomplete damage / loss concept
Equity and social vulnerability aspects are missing

3. To better protect the vulnerable and poor (1/2)
1. Adopt a minimum protection level
• e.g. in the Netherlands FRM measures are taken to reduce the
probability to become a flood victim to less than1/100,000 for everyone
2. Social protection
• e.g. in the NL the government compensates flood damages (…)
3. Enrich the damage concept
• e.g., include health related costs, lost labor income, travel cost etc.
• especially relevant for the poor
4. Multiply flood damages per group with a Social Vulnerability Indicator
• e.g., Cutter et. al. (2013) for USACE
5. Map costs and benefits for different groups (distributional analysis)
• e.g.

Total Poor Non-Poor
Costs 10 3 7
Benefits 8 6 2
NPV -2 +3 -5
4. 6. Base decisions on social welfare economics (CBAs):
• include equity weights to account for income differences,
• include risk premiums to account for social vulnerability
• founded in welfare economics
• operationalized by utility theory

8. Risk premium and social vulnerability
Equity and social vulnerability in CBA for DRR
• Due to risk aversion, the welfare value of risk (WTP) is higher than
P x D (Expected Damage)
• WTP = Expected Damage + Risk Premium
• The Risk Premium is a function of Social Flood Vulnerability
• Social Flood Vulnerability ≈ Consumption Loss / Baseline
Consumption
9. Risk premium and social vulnerability
Equity and social vulnerability in CBA for DRR
10. • Equity weights and risk premiums are different for individuals or for
groups
• Data on the distribution of income, flood damage and the
correlation between those are needed
• Data on financial self protection, flood insurance and social
protection is needed
• Catastrophic risk needs to be valued

12. Implications of the social welfare approach
1. Higher benefits for poor and vulnerable populations
2. More emphasis on distribution of risk and potentially high benefits
of risk transfer
3. Data needs are high: proxies are needed
4. First experiments in case studies for HCMC and Colombo.
