from disasters.

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

CLIMATE CHANGE
• Focus on CCA – ie consequences of CC driven disasters.
• Planning into the un-known
• Training communities and volunteers through formal and
informal channels.
• CCA as part of DRR
International Federation
of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
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
Advocacy + Analyses
 RC/RC Climate Guide (November 2007)
International Federation

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
IFRC, 2009

Key messages
1. Integrate CCA into the policy and strategic plans
2. Comprehensive risk mapping through VCA (Vulnerability and
capacity Assessment)
3. Building the capacity of the community, Support continuous
