• The anticipated role of science in the HFA and after 2015
• Developing an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach
• The use of science in practice:
• Research approach
• Earthquake risk reduction in South Asia
• Flooding and wildfires in the semi-arid Western US
• Reflecting on policy recommendations regarding the use of
science in the post-2015 framework for DRR
• Added value and summary
• Supporting the implementation of the HFA
• Gaps, needs and further steps post 2015

approach
• A serendipitous meeting, informal discussion about how
science is used in decision making, developing an
appreciation for each other’s language and worldview
• At scientific meetings like EGU there is a lot of discussion
about how best to work with stakeholders and decision-makers
but these meetings are not accessible to many
potential stakeholders
• ‘Sharing Stories’ EGU workshop – an attempt to bring
people together to share experiences and lessons learned
YOU CAN GIVE US THE SCIENCE
BUT
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US
TO DO WITH IT?

www.grforum.org
Research Approach
• “How is science used to make decisions from the international
to local scale, and what can be learned from a comparison
between hazards, disciplines, and contexts?”
• First step: Take two existing studies and relate them to the
UNISDR (Southgate et al. 2014) recommendations.
• Second step: develop preliminary case study findings across
the recommendations.
• Third step: Integrate and compare findings for commonalities
and differences.
• Fourth step: Address the value-added perspective of the IDRC
• Fifth step: Where do we go from here?
6. Case study 1: Earthquake risk reduction in South Asia
• Location – Bangladesh and Nepal. Both densely populated
and highly seismically active with histories of devastating
earthquakes
• Case studies are projects that aim to increase the impact of
earthquake science on DRR and resilience building through
knowledge exchange (Bangladesh) and transdisciplinary
research (Nepal)
• Bangladesh: earthquake risk management training for NGO

8. Reflections on the Southgate Recommendations
• R1: While it is possible to demonstrate what science informed the
design and implementation of the training, how this informs
organisational decision making in the longer term is less easy to
demonstrate
• R2: Navigating the local context, working across disciplines and
building the necessary relationships with stakeholders to define the
problem and work towards a solution requires sustained
engagement and can take a long time
• R3: Sharing and disseminating scientific information and translating
it into action should be done with a good understanding of what
information currently exists and the barriers that prevent that
information from being used or shared
• R4: The complexity of the decision-making process and the context
in which it occurs can make it difficult to provide evidence of what
impact science had on decision making

Great Basin.
• Policy network approach to multiple natural hazards: urban
flooding and wildfires at the wildland-urban interface.
• Stakeholder engagement with both networks.
• 4 comparative factors of the policy networks:
– Type and frequency of hazard
– Size and type of network
– Network member interactions
– Role of uncertainty and impact of climate change
13. Reflections on the Southgate Recommendations
• R1: Both cases involve the use of science and science and policy
interaction; engagement in the case of wildfires is more frequent
and interactive; both cases rely heavily on predictions and
probability of risk and disaster.
• R2: Wildfire policy network is inclusive across disciplines (planning,
policy sciences, and hydrology); most flood risk problems are solved
by “hard” or infrastructure solutions, rather than policy or
behavioral solutions.
• R3: Significant effort expended on wildfire education and knowledge
transfer; the urban flooding problem is rarely mentioned or
considered outside the domain of the few major stakeholders.
• R4: Science is but one factor in larger information and advocacy

Integration and Comparing Cases
• R1: There is significant decision making activity that science
has no impact on; need a better understanding of the decision
context and the competition among information types.
• R2: Science is critical to DRR problem solving but defining the
problem is often a political process; organizational culture and
capacity also contribute.
• R3: Transition of knowledge to action is non-linear; need to
understand where, when and how science engages with
decision making.
• R4: Are we expecting too much of “science” and scientists
within this larger more dynamic process?

• How did your work support the implementation of the Hyogo
Framework for Action:
– Sub-national perspective on the use of science in DRR
– Contributes to our understanding of DRR implementation
– Context for decision making requires an interdisciplinary approach
– Recognition by HFA and others (ICLEI) that understanding the context is
critical to success
• From your perspective what are the main gaps, needs and further
steps to be addressed in the Post 2015 Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction in
– Research: Coordination across research projects
– Education & Training: Create an enabling environment to implement
training outcomes
– Implementation & Practice: Incentivise full participation by the scientific
community in the long tem
– Policy: Responsibility on all stakeholders (including scientists) to
participate fully in the policy process
Editor's Notes
Poss say what our disciplinary backgrounds are here?
Within the priorities for action that underpin the strategic goals, the anticipated role of science and scientists is clear, in particular, with respect to risk assessment, loss estimation, space-based observation, early warning and forecasting (Priority 2: Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks and enhance early warning). However, more generally, the importance of information sharing and cooperation, and cross-disciplinary networks (Priority 3: Use knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels) and developing technical and institutional capacity for effective disaster management (Priority 5: Strengthen disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels) are also relevant here.
- Make sure to say that the Southgate recommendations gave us a tangible, common point of reference that allowed us to collaborate in a substantial way
Our response as scientists to that statement is what woke us up
Points raised in the sharing stories discussion included the need for strong arguments to persuade researchers to collaborate across the physical-social science divide, the challenges for scientists relating to identifying and engaging with the right audience, and the importance of identifying and understanding the needs of decision makers.
- Give them enough info to know that we did something. The relevant stuff for this and the value is in the integration
-I’ve italicised the point I’d like to focus on
Transition slide. Eric takes over from Susanne
City of Boise ~208,000 residents
Capitol city, 3 major Universities
Metro region about 660,000 residents – projected growth about 400k more in the next 25 years.

Gaps, needs and further steps from my point of view
Research: In general, there is a significant need for greater coordination between research projects with an impact focus to avoid duplicating effort. There is also a strong need to design new research with a good understanding of the context in which it will be applied so that it complements existing DRR activities and supports the development of local capacity. There is a need for greater recognition of the value of interdisciplinary research and the time it takes to develop an effective collaboration, greater support in general for fostering physical-social science collaboration. The enormous value of developing and supporting fundamental monitoring capabilities (e.g. seismic networks) and attendant capacity at the national and local levels should not be underestimated. Gap = understanding amongst scientists of how information is used for decision making and how to influence the decision making process
Education and training: Again, coordination with other initiatives is important. Training for scientists on identifying and reaching the right audience, understanding the needs of decision makers and how to bridge the gap between science and action.
Implementation and practice: Recognise the importance of context in implementation and the fact that one size rarely fits all.
Policy: I don’t have anything to say for this
