Three Main Messages  Inadequate planning in urbanization, Climate change, and population growth are the three major drivers that aggravate the severity of disasters.  South Asian cities are already fraught with a high incidence of natural disasters, but population growth, urbanization and climate change add to their vulnerability.  Lack of adequate generation and dissemination of weather, hydrological and climate information and scenarios/forecasts are key obstacles to climate resilience and disaster risk response and management, especially in urban areas.

Developing countries will disproportionately bear the consequences of disaster risk and climate change because they are more exposed, less resilient, and generally have lower adaptive capacity to climate hazards.

They must be resilient to multiple natural hazards. Smart cities need to be smart about disaster preparedness and risk reduction. Understanding vulnerabilities and risks is mandatory to this – you can’t manage what you can’t measure; DRR is cost effective - Investment in ex ante: each dollar spent on DRR saves four in damage and loss; Early warning and disaster response preparedness save lives and property. each dollar spent in meteorological systems averts two in damage and loss. Hydro-meteorological disaster deaths have decreased over time. More can be done. The World Bank

GFDRR has assisted cities like Istanbul and Bogota to pool and insure against disaster risks. 2.Risk mitigation for reducing exposure to natural hazards like Non-structural measures: flood protection master plans, storm water drainage plan for priority urban areas, updating land use plans and building codes, upgrading road standards, and building comprehensive systems’ databases and structural measures like flood protection/drainage investments in urban areas 3.Strengthening and enhancing emergency preparedness: early forecasting and warning systems, strengthening and institutionalizing sub-national government’s disaster preparedness, and strengthening community-based disaster preparedness 4.Institutional capacity building: creating a high-level National Disaster Risk Management Council, strengthening disaster risk management institutions, instruments and capacity 5.Financing Reconstruction and Recovery Effort and long-term catastrophe risk financing The World Bank

It focuses on longer term recovery and promotes ‘build back better’ principles in reconstruction. It also makes seed money available to Bank region/country teams to launch coordinated disaster damage and needs assessments in coordination with host governments. Two financing windows : Technical Assistance Fund to strengthen recovery mechanisms and integrate risk reduction both in preparedness and in response through capacity development, knowledge management and partnership building. Post Disaster Needs Assessments (PDNAs) is the most requested product. Callable Fund to provide speedy access to financial resources for disaster recovery The World Bank TRACK 3 - Provide speedy and predictable recovery financing for post-disaster recovery in developing countries
