Risk to resilience: strategic tools for disaster risk management
This document reports on an international workshop on risk to resilience: strategic tools for disaster risk management intended to initiate a dialogue on the findings of recent action research in South Asia, particularly in India, Nepal and Pakistan, on various strategic tools for disaster risk reduction, including hazard projections, vulnerability mapping, cost benefit analysis of disaster mitigation and structured learning process.
The report is aimed to be useful for developing further policies, plans and programmer for reducing the risks of hydro-metrological disasters in the changing climate of South Asia, including those likely to emerge as a consequence of climate change, and to mainstream these in the policy process. The workshop was held in New Delhi on 3-4 February, 2009 and provided an opportunity for intensive brainstorming discussion among the researchers, practitioners and policy makers from the region across sectors.
