2. GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE The Paradigm for 2014 That Makes Our Tomorrows Better STEP 3 Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA

3. TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE Step 1: Integrating Today’s Global Knowledge Into Global Books of Knowledge Step 2: From Today’s Books of Knowledge to Innovative Capacity Building Step 3: From Today’s Paradigm to Tomorrow’s

4. THE GOAL DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNITY

5. REALITY INCREASED DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY LACK OF DISASTER RESILIENCE INSUFFICIENT CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNITY

8. STEP 3: TO MOVE From Today’s Paradigm to Tomorrow’s The difference between “Today” and “Tomorrow” is characterized by one set of “CHAMPIONS” leaving center stage and another set coming on.

9. REVIEW OF THE FACTS FROM STEP 1 Integrating Today’s Global Knowledge Into Global Books of Knowledge

10. FACT: THE PROBLEM IS NOT A LACK OF DISASTER KNOWLEDGE ALL 200 NATIONS HAVE A HISTORICAL RECORD OF THEIR OWN DISASTERS

11. FACT : THE PROBLEM IS AN IMPLEMENTATION PROBLEM KNOWING WHAT TO DO TECH- NICALLY AND HOW TO DO IT POLITICALLY ARE DIFFERENT PROCESSES

12. FACT : THE PROBLEM IS A LACK OF CAPACITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL CAPACITY ARE NEEDED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF EACH OF THE FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE

13. REVIEW OF THE FACTS FROM STEP 2 From Today’s Books of Knowledge to Innovative Capacity Building For Disaster Resilience

14. BOOK OF BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE - Perspectives KNOWLEDGE - Perspectives On Science, Policy, On Science, Policy, And EM HI-ED And EM HI-ED

15. EVERY NATION HAS DOZENS OF “WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY” AFTER A NEW DISASTER OCCURS TO USE THE UPDATED BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE FOR INNOVATIVE CAPACITY BUILDING

16. THE CAPACITY BUILDING PROCESS UNDER- STAND IDENT- IFY HEAR PERSON- ALIZE ACT PERIOD OF INTEGRATION WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY PERIOD OF IMPLEMENTATION

17. FACT DISASTER RESILENCE HAPPENS AS CAPACITY IS BUILT BY THE INNOVATIVE INTEGRATION OF “POLITICAL AND TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS” OF A COMMON AGENDA

18. CHARACTERISTICS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE CHARACTERISTICS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE STAPLE FACTORS INTEGRATED INTO DECISIONMAKING STAPLE FACTORS BALANCED BENEFIT/COST RATIO IS LARGE STAPLE FACTORS INTEGRATED INTO DECISIONMAKING STAPLE FACTORS BALANCED BENEFIT/COST RATIO IS LARGE

19. TOWARDS INCREASED CAPACITY FOR GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE GOAL: TO FIND THE COMMON AGENDA (CA) OF TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL SOLUTIONS AND POLITICAL SOLUTIONS GOAL: TO FIND THE COMMON AGENDA (CA) OF TECHNICAL AND POLITICAL SOLUTIONS AND POLITICAL SOLUTIONS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS POLITICAL SOLUTIONS CA

20. TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE FACT: THE COMMON AGENDA IS BASED ON EACH NATION’S STAPLE FACTORS FACT: THE COMMON AGENDA IS BASED ON EACH NATION’S STAPLE FACTORS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS POLITICAL SOLUTIONS STAPLE FACTORS PP TT SS OO CA

21. EACH NATION’S UNIQUE “STAPLE” FACTORS VARY WITH EACH NATION’S UNIQUE “STAPLE” FACTORS VARY WITH TIME PLACE CIRCUMSTANCES TIME PLACE CIRCUMSTANCES

22. SOCIAL (ARE THE PEOPLE AWARE OF WHAT THEY NEED?) COMMUNITY TECHNICAL (IS THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE BEING APPLIED?) ADMINISTRATIVE (WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE?) POLITICAL (ARE PUBLIC POLICIES RELEVANT IN TERMS OF THE THREAT?) LEGAL (ARE EXISTING LEGAL MANDATES ENFORCED?) ECONOMIC (WILLINGNESS AND CAPACITY TO PAY FOR SAFETY?) ALL AFFECT COMMUNITY DISASTER RESILIENCE SOCIAL SYSTEMS “STAPLE” FACTORS

23. STEP 3: TO MOVE From Today’s Paradigm to Tomorrow’s The difference between “Today” and “Tomorrow” is ONE GENERATION, which is characterized by one set of CHAMPIONS leaving the stage and another coming on.
