Facilitating Measures for Disasters

A qualitative Disaster management system can bring may improvement. But we have to take the steps with effective way. With the Intervention measures we have to take also the Facilitating Measure.

Facilitating Measures: 

  • Capacity building for integrating Climate Change in planning, designing of infrastructure, conflict management and land-water zoning for water management institutions. 
  • Exploring options for insurance and other emergency preparedness measures to cope with enhanced climatic disasters (e.g. flood, cyclones and drought).
  • Mainstreaming adaptation for climate change into policies and program in different sectors (focusing on disaster management, water, agriculture, health and industry).
  • Inclusion of climate change issues in curriculum at secondary and tertiary educational institution.   
  • Climate change and adaptation information dissemination to vulnerable community to raise awareness. 

  • Promotion of research on drought, flood and saline tolerant varieties of crops to facilitate adaption in future. 
  • Development of eco-specific adaptive knowledge on adaptation to climate variability to enhance adaptive capacity for future climate change. 

Key expectation from the global community is that equity is ensured, justice delivered, and commitments are adequate and in time while compensating climate victims, climate refugees, and helping those vulnerable to cope with climate challenges. Climate risk management and adaptation is a survival as well as development concern. The international community should keep the unity and commitment. Because an equitable regime that proactively applies " precautionary" and "no regrets principal while funding adaptation needs and priorities.  Adverse climate impacts already have claimed hard earned development gains and benefits in many countries. Adaptation and management of climate risks must be integrated within each country's development and planning process, at every level. The government, development partners and private sector will all need to mainstream climate risk management into their portfolio. Applying both precautionary and no regrets principles support adaptation funding is really important and can prove something better for our Disaster management in the whole world.
