Claudia de Windt Senior Legal Specialist Department of Sustainable Development Strengthening Humanitarian Assistance and Prevention and Response Coordination System Joint Working Group of the Permanent Council and CEPCIDI on Existing Mechanisms for Disaster Prevention and Response and Humanitarian Assistance December 8, 2010

Overview of Issues in the area of Legal and Institutional Frameworks Emerging challenges Trends in the legal approach to disaster response Declaration of state of emergency and emergency powers Establishment and functions of civil protection and emergency management agencies Health Change towards an integrated approach: Overview of trends in the legal approach to disaster preparedness in the region Precedents, Hyogo Framework

Legal Challenges at the National Level Legal challenges derived from international collaboration in disaster response Legal status of organizations Identification of assistance personnel Rating, liability Imports of relief goods and equipment Legal challenges in the area of governance and accountability Coordination among stakeholders Knowledge

Moving forward in the region Integrated and multidisciplinary approach in strengthening legal frameworks. Hyogo included a commitment to develop legal frameworks for disaster prevention and preparedness, including preparation for international assistance when required. How can the priority actions of the Hyogo Framework serve as a blueprint for the development and strengthening of the legal approach to natural disasters?

Moving forward in the region Ensure that disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a national and local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation. – Legal frameworks should enable resource allocation for the development and implementation of disaster risk reduction policies. – Ratifying relevant international legal instruments and principles, taking steps for their implementation. – Promoting community participation through specific provisions and measures in access to information laws or other instruments

Moving forward in the region Identify, assess and monitor disaster risks closely and enhance early warning. – Clear identification of stakeholders and their respective roles – Addressing issues related to preparation from a legal perspective, including early warning systems
