How does the Federation manage the disaster at
National, Regional and Global level ?

• Learning from local communities, first
  responders, grass root info (trends,
  predictions, forecasting etc. Gender sex, age,
  disabilities.)
• Coordination, monitoring, evaluations, lessons
  learned, and best practices (Build Back Better)
• Emergency preparedness (tracking, forecasting,
  monitoring, sharing info)
• Information management from web-based global
  platform (DMIS)
• Disaster response tools (FACT, RDRT, ERU,
  Logistics)
• Training of volunteers, national/regional and
  international staffs also communities through
  formal and informal education.
• Partner with other organisations and authorities
  at multiple levels

Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change
Adaptation

• CC will generate new disaster dimensions
• Note slow-onset disasters related to the
  depletion of the natural resource base

Climate Centre RC/RC

• Since 2002, give assistance to NS to bridge CCA
  and DRR.
• Triple A principle Awareness, Action and

Linking DRR and CCA

1. Assessing and addressing current and future
   climate risks at national and local levels
2. Assessing and addressing current and future
   climate risks with communities (sudden and slow
   on-set)
3. Education and awareness-raising (Formal and
   in-formal)
4. Advocacy (humanitarian values and equity aspect
   voice of the vulnerable)
5. Integrating DRR and climate change adaptation
   into existing training, plans and strategies
