09:30-12:10 LESSONS LEARNED
Room: Topkapý A
The session aims at sharing with participants the experience gained in disaster preparedness and response through review of major disaster recovery programs. It also synthesizes the lessons learned in designing national disaster risk management systems in countries exposed to the impact of natural hazards. The session intends to bring the global perspective of proactive disaster risk reduction approach by showcasing the learning curve of national and multinational agencies in disaster risk management and by presenting select country cases with successful integration of disaster risk into development planning. The review of international best practices will help participants to put in context the advancements Turkey has achieved in reforming its disaster risk management system from institutional framework through risk transfer mechanisms to mitigation of seismic risk in Istanbul.
The first two presentations of the session will brief on the World Bank and the Provention Consortium comprehensive evaluation of disaster relief and reconstruction operations. The following presentation reviews the World Bank’s changing role in assisting Turkey to achieve the evolving disaster reduction agenda. The presentation on Earthquake Vulnerability Reduction Program in Colombia will show how a probabilistic cost benefit analysis helps to determine a more realistic picture of the efficiency of mitigation projects and prepare a strategic approach to a long term vulnerability reduction in Bogota. The following presentation discusses disaster management using the 1999 Marmara Earthquake as an example. The last presentation is from Mexico and showcases the recent issue of catastrophic bonds to provide financial stability in case of earthquake event.
