Population: 16.7 million Land Area: Slightly larger than Colorado People from Burkina Faso are called Burkinabé Northern desert Region is known as the Sahel Two major seasons: Rainy and Harmattan Life expectancy: about 54 years Life expectancy in The U.S.: about 78 years Prevalence of acute malnutrition: 11.3% (2009) Total deaths due to malaria in 2010: 7,360

OUAGADOUGOU

Appears to have a higher foundation

- The Director of “CONASUR,” National Emergency Management Agency - The head/Commanding Officer of Civil Protection - Red Cross - FEWSnet (Famine Early Warning System) - Catholic Relief Services

First Response Capability nearly non-existent During flooding events, Burkina Faso immediately receives large amounts of donations from other countries (i.e. United States, France, Canada, European Union). But how do they rescue those that are isolated due to flood damage and bring them food and water? And who helps rebuild more resilient communities?

- Facilitated relationship between local Civil Protection and DATT; potential RESPONSE Support from U.S. military - Sought Disaster risk reduction funds from regional USAID/OFDA hub in Dakar, Senegal - Briefed Embassy staff using Floodsmart materials

why prioritize flood risk management? - Flooding hurts development in all sectors; recovery should be followed by mitigation. - Burkina Faso will never be free of the burden of natural disasters, whether they are deprived of or inundated by water. - Flood mitigation can help promote Burkina’s security, stability, and financial capacity.* *These statements are personal and do not represent anyone but myself

Concept of natural disaster as national tragedy - Strike while the iron is hot -Harness the societal momentum/focus on a natural disaster such as catastrophic flood. Risk Perception - short term -What is worth the investment? -100 year flood? Cultural Sensitivity -Understand your audience -Know their values - Speak their language

I welcome your questions/comments Thank you for your attention!
