Asia Pacific Disasters Report 2012
Making Development Resilient
Key Messages
Key Message 1
Development can reduce
vulnerability. Development
expands exposure
75% of deaths due to disasters from
1970 to 2011 from Asia Pacific
Human exposure to tropical cyclone is
increasing
For hydromet hazards, mortality risks
are decreasing for some sub-regions
Cyclone mortality
Flood mortality
Landslide mortality
East and North-east Asia
Death continue to rise for small scale
disasters
Mortality due to small scale disasters in the Lao People’s Democratic
Republic (above) and Indonesia (below), 1970-2009
For low capacity countries, small scale
disasters equally destructive
Mortality (above) and housing damage
(below) in Nepal from 1970-2009
Urban growth increases disaster risks
Household fire events in Odisha State, India (1980-1990
compared to 2000-2010)
Economic losses in 2011, 80% of total
losses for 2000 to 2009
RATE of losing wealth due to disasters
faster than RATE of gaining wealth
Losses since 1980 increased by 16 times
while GDP per capita grew 13 times.
Development was unable to reduce
risks, and may drive its growth
Total Damage and losses
in million USD
Thailand floods 2011: 90 percent of
total losses borne by private sector
Key Message 1
Development can reduce
vulnerability. Development
expands exposure
Key Message 2
DRR investment can reduce
vulnerability.
Setting a target can help design
DRR investments.
DRR investments increasing, but more
can be done

Approaches to DRR Investments
• Bangladesh invested more than $10 billion in
DRR during the past 35 years resulting in
decline disaster losses
• Chinas Comprehensive Disaster Prevention
and Reduction Plan (2011-2015) envisages
increased investments to reduce disaster
losses to less than 1.5% GDP
Universal social protection is
affordable and can address disaster
vulnerabilities

Key Message 2
DRR investment can reduce
vulnerability.
Setting a target can help design
DRR investments.
Key Message 3
Land use planning, supply chain
management, disaster recovery
have the potential to reduce
exposure
Most countries don't have national
land use plans
Land use

Local

Most land use policy/plan are risk
sensitive
Land use plans don't include
capabilities, use of damage
estimation for planning
OBJECTIVE
Reduce
exposure,
vulnerability
SENSITIVITY

IMPLEMEN
TATION

Land use plans turn to investments
when understood to serve public
interests
Influenced by
risk communication
and cost benefit
analysis
Increasing risks of supply chain

“How to do” DRR
- Its non-linear
- It needs to be explicit
Summary - Key Messages
• Development can reduce vulnerability.
Development expands exposure
• DRR investment can reduce vulnerability. Setting a
target can help design DRR investments.
• Land use planning, supply chain management,
disaster recovery have the potential to reduce
exposure
• “How to do” DRR
– Its non-linear
– It needs to be explicit
Ways Forward
• Focus on enabling development strategies
that reduce exposure
– Focus on the “how to?” and on removing barriers
– Focus on building the socio-economic evidence
base, on improving risk communication
– Focus on building social demand
– Focus on outcome targets to build case for DRR
investments
