DRM Webinar I: Governing and managing disaster risk in the agriculture sectorFAO
Over the past decade, economic damages resulting from natural hazards have amounted to USD 1.5 trillion caused by geophysical hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides, as well as hydro-meteorological hazards, including storms, floods, droughts and wild fires. Climate-related disasters, in particular, are increasing worldwide and expected to intensify with climate change. They disproportionately affect food insecure, poor people – over 75 percent of whom derive their livelihoods from agriculture. Agricultural livelihoods can only be protected from multiple hazards if adequate disaster risk reduction and management efforts are strengthened within and across sectors, anchored in the context-specific needs of local livelihoods systems.
This series of three webinars on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRR/M) in agriculture is organized to:
1. Discuss the new opportunities and pressing challenges in reducing and managing disaster risk in agriculture;
2. Learn and share experiences about disaster risk reduction and management good practices based on concrete examples from the field; discuss how to create evidence and conditions for upscaling of good practices; and
3. Exchange experiences and knowledge with partners around resilience to natural hazards and climate-related disasters.
The webinar covers:
• Institutional capacity development for DRM for resilience, food security and nutrition
• Mainstreaming DRM in agriculture sector planning
• Linking planning and capacity development for DRM, resilience and climate change adaptation (CCA)

Program of Disaster Management in INdia.SurajSaini60
Disaster management is a crucial aspect of ensuring the safety and well-being of communities in the face of natural or man-made calamities. It encompasses a comprehensive set of strategies aimed at mitigating the impact of disasters, responding effectively during crises, facilitating recovery, and implementing measures to prevent or minimize future risks. At its core, disaster management involves proactive planning, coordination, and resource allocation to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerability to various hazards.
The first phase of disaster management is preparedness, where efforts are focused on building capacity, developing emergency response plans, and conducting training and drills to enhance readiness. This includes stockpiling essential supplies, establishing communication channels, and educating the public about safety measures. During the response phase, immediate actions are taken to address the emergency, including search and rescue operations, medical assistance, and evacuation efforts. Effective coordination among emergency responders and timely deployment of resources are critical for minimizing casualties and damage.
The recovery phase involves efforts to restore essential services, rebuild infrastructure, and provide support to affected individuals and communities. This includes assessing the extent of damage, mobilizing resources for reconstruction, and offering psychological counseling to those traumatized by the disaster. Additionally, the mitigation phase focuses on long-term strategies to reduce risks and vulnerabilities, such as implementing land-use planning measures, strengthening building codes, and raising awareness about disaster preparedness. By adopting a holistic approach to disaster management, communities can enhance their resilience and adaptability in the face of future challenges.

Women paying the health cost of the climate crisisIIED
The impacts of climate change result in both economic and non-economic losses and damages. While economic impacts often receive attention through policy and programming, the non-economic losses remain largely invisible and unaddressed, particularly in climate finance.
The presentation by IIED principal researcher Ritu Bharadwaj, from an online event in March 2024, focuses on the loss and damage faced by women battling drought, debt bondage and migration in Beed, India.
The presentation examines how women are disproportionately affected by climate change, looking at the connections between climate-induced droughts and debt bondage, and significant impacts on women's physical and mental health – leading to drastic health decisions.
It introduces the innovative C-CIQ methodology, which is a comprehensive approach allowing for in-depth assessment of climate change impacts, encompassing not only physical and economic aspects but also the social, cultural and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The C-CIQ methodology, with its emphasis on simplicity, replicability and clarity, aims to provide a framework for quantifying non-economic loss and damage through composite indices, making it a valuable tool for practitioners and policymakers in diverse contexts.

Adaptability of peri-urban agricultural workers towards resilienceIIED
This case study highlights the way that women working in peri-urban agriculture in India have to adapt to changing circumstances in order to sustain themselves and their families.
It was produced by Siddharth Agarwal, Kanupriya Kothiwal, Shabnam Verma and Sampurna Kundu of the Urban Health Resource Centre, India.
Conclusions include agricultural work being one of the major forms of livelihood for peri-urban workers. Many peri-urban workers chose this form of work because they already had the skills from their native rural farms.
Women find agricultural work convenient because of its self-paced nature and because farms are mostly close to where they live. Food security is another benefit, as many women are able to procure vegetables and food grains from their farming work.
Peri-urban women workers are resilient, adapting to an ever-changing peri-urban ecosystem and often pursuing an additional livelihood in seasons when agricultural work is not available. Their strategy of forming links with more than one employer offering different forms of work is key to this resilience.
They are also preparing themselves for a future when farms will be sold to developers and builders, and express anxiety about the uncertainty of sustaining agriculture work in the future.
The adaptability and resilience shown by the workers can be tailored to other situations and promoted among vulnerable urban women workers.

Stitching their trajectories with determination: stories from Indore, IndiaIIED
Many women in Indore work as informal home-based garment workers. This case study demonstrates their commitment to investing in equipment and learning new skills in order to contribute to the family income.
Behind closed doors lies a vast segment of largely invisible women and girls working in India’s flourishing garment industry.
Women working from home account for about 14% of urban employment in India. In low- and middle-income countries, outsourced garment production thrives on account of cheap labour to keep the levels of production high and costs low.
Through pursuing sewing, women can overcome the limitations of little or no education or formal training. Most women stitchers enhance their skills through experience. This helps them get regular and progressively higher paying piece-rate work.

Dhaka Bangladesh
April,2013
2. Disaster risks: Context of Ethiopia
• Ethiopia is still highly vulnerable to a wide range of CC
induced natural as well as man-made disasters.
• Drought remains the country’s leading major hazard
while flood is the second major hazard next to drought.
• Recent experience shows an apparent marked increase
in area coverage and frequency of such disasters
• Climate Change and associated risks are and will
continue to affect the economy in general and
agriculture and FS in particular
2
3. Background :Disaster Management in Ethiopia
Crisis management focused:
Pre-1973: no organized DM system, ad-hoc response to crises
1973: Relief & Rehabilitation Commission (RRC)
1993: National Policy on Disaster Prevention & Management
2004: Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (DPPA)
PSNP opened a new chapter in the history of DM in Ethiopia by
shifting the focus from crisis management to risk management
Risk management focused:
2008: Disaster Risk Management and Food Security Sector
(DRMFSS).

CC (WDRP,PSNP,MERET,CRGE,Coping with Drought and
CCA project, ACCRA,etc).
• Government led coordination mechanisms:
– Disaster Risk Management Technical Working Group
(which brings together all actors involved in EWR)
– Sectoral Task Forces (led by respective ministries)
– Multi-Agency Coordination Group ( at the technical
and strategic levels)
9. Disaster Risk Profiling
• A risk assessment study being conducted(building upon existing livelihoods
baselines) to implement the new DRM approach
• Disaster Risk Profile for every wereda/district in country based on
information collected from communities, households and DRM actors
• It provides comprehensive information on: hazards and associated risks,
vulnerabilities, underlying and associated causes of disaster risks and
vulnerabilities, copying capacities, and current and proposed mitigation
measures
• Aims at informing:
– DRR /CCA plans in weredas/districts (manual development, actual
planning process at local level, etc.)
– Comprehensive contingency plans
– The kind of location-specific early warning and response system that
need to be in place
