1 WP1.2 – Survey of established practices in EU countries for NDRM
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries WP1.2 – Survey of established practices in EU countries for NDRM Austria DI Kurt Glock University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences BOKU, Vienna Workshop Workshop on master curricula best practices in EU partners 6th April 2017 Project number: EPP RS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP "This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

2 Identification of natural disasters
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Identification of natural disasters Natural hazards of alpine torrents (debris flows and floods) Avalanches Mass movements (Interpraevent, 2009)  2/3 of the Austrian territory account for alpine regions (Interpraevent, 2009) Floods in large rivers (Interpraevent, 2009)

3 Identification of natural disasters
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Identification of natural disasters Floods in large rivers Floods in August 2002 Damage losses of around 3.2 billion Euros Floods in June 2013 Damage losses of around 866 million Euros (BMLFUW, 2006) (BMLFUW, 2015)

4 Analysis of established risk management strategies
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of established risk management strategies Development of management strategies Middle Ages: Fatalistic attitude  exposed to hazards “We have to live with them!” 19th century: rational ideologies  technical, systematic strategies “We can prevent everything!” Since 1980s: integrated natural hazard management  risk circle with sustainable measures “We have to cope natural hazards!” “We have to rebuild, if possible!” “We have to prevent, if possible!”

5 Analysis of established risk management strategies
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of established risk management strategies Integrated natural hazard management Deployment Immediately after the disaster Urgent measures / Damage mitigation Responsible authorities Police, Fire brigade Red Cross Austrian Armed Forces Voluntary aid organisation “Team Österreich” (Around volunteers) (Hitradio Ö3)

6 Analysis of established risk management strategies
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of established risk management strategies Integrated natural hazard management Corrective Maintenance Hours to days after the disaster Repair of necessary infrastructure Bridges Streets Power and water supply Telecommunication network Humanitarian & financial support Collection of information Mapping Photos Etc. Responsible authorities similar to Deployment (Bundesheer – Moser, 2009)

7 Analysis of established risk management strategies
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of established risk management strategies Integrated natural hazard management Reconstruction Days to months (years) after the disaster Definitive reconstruction Buildings Streets Infrastructure Event analysis – “Lessons learned” Improvement of strategies and measures

8 Analysis of established risk management strategies
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of established risk management strategies Integrated natural hazard management Preventive Measures (Months) and years after the disaster Reduction of intensity and frequency of natural hazards Specific laws Scientific research Monitoring Preventive planning Engineering and ecological measures Protection of buildings HORA – Natural Hazard Overview and Risk Assessment Austria

9 Analysis of established risk management strategies
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of established risk management strategies Integrated natural hazard management Precautionary Measures Part 1 (Months) and years after the disaster Public information & awareness Risk transfer (e.g. insurances) Personal provision (e.g. incentives) Part 2 Shortly before the disaster Weather forecast Early warning systems

10 Analysis of responsible institutes
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of responsible institutes Integrated natural hazard management Balancing act between “central control” and “local action” Regional presence Immediate availability Coordinated action Natural hazards management Federal administration Provincial administration Municipal administration General public Insurance companies Sciences NGOs

11 Analysis of responsible institutes
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of responsible institutes Integrated natural hazard management Public authorities Federal administration Prevention measures Consideration of laws (Water Act, forest law, etc.) Many different authorities and institutions (Railway agency, Central Institution for Meteorology and Geodynamics, etc.) Provincial administration Coping measures embedded in provincial laws Execution of federal laws Many different authorities and institutions (Environmental authority, Disaster Control authority, etc.) Municipal administration Execution of federal and provincial laws (in the district) Mayor, Building authority

12 Analysis of responsible institutes
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Analysis of responsible institutes Integrated natural hazard management General public Personal provision Behavioural provision Self-help in emergency situations Media Important multipliers of knowledge and information Dissemination of calls and announcements is foreseen by law Insurance companies Private insurance  Risk transfer Rarely established  Federal disaster funds (Exceptions: Storm and hail) Science and standardisation institutes Research issues Education Development of guidelines and standards NGOs Environmental protection Research Austrian Alpine Association, WWF, Greenpeace, etc.

13 Assessment of risk management aspects
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Assessment of risk management aspects Advantages Integrated natural hazard management Coping, rebuilding and prevention measures Comprehensive services for all parties Sustainable treatment of natural disasters  risk circle Emergency services Well organized cooperation A large number of volunteers (fire brigade, red cross, “Team Austria”, etc.) Trainings and educational courses are provided  Significant decrease of fatalities

14 Assessment of risk management aspects
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Assessment of risk management aspects Disadvantages Awareness of land use Buildings in potential vulnerable areas  unsustainable land use and land sealing Organizational structure of natural hazards management A lot of federal, provincial and municipal organizations Challenging cooperation between these institutes Examples a) Federal organizations “WLV” (alpine region) and “BWV” (large rivers) b) 9 different provinces with 9 different spatial planning laws

15 Assessment of risk management aspects
Development of master curricula for natural disasters risk management in Western Balkan countries Assessment of risk management aspects Knowledge gaps Scientific research Long tradition in data acquisition in Austria ( solid base for research) Expansion of gauges (e.g. permafrost, sediment transport, etc.) Improvement of existing risk management strategies Public awareness A lack of understanding of natural hazards in Austrian population Increase of information and participation events to be better prepared in case of natural disasters
