The CHairman’s welcome The Chairman’s welcome “FROM THOUGHTS TO ACTION TOGETHER WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN” I and my staff would like to welcome you to Davos for the 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC Davos 2012, and I would sincerely like to thank you for joining this global gathering. IDRC Davos 2012 builds on the success of its preceding conferences in 2006, 2008 and 2010, and again features a broad range of topics. It brings different actors together and strengthens partnerships. With a large number of government officials, experts and practitioners, high-level representatives of IGOs, the UN, NGOs, the private sector, scientific and academic institutions, the media and other eminent people from 100 countries, the conference provides a valuable forum for dialogue and a strategic platform for the world´s risk and disaster management community. This year, the focus of IDRC will be Integrative Risk Management in a Changing World - Pathways to a Resilient Society. With a vital mix of topics and formats, including plenary and parallel sessions, workshops, training courses, exhibitions and networking events, the conference will foster the exchange of information and viewpoints between scientists, practitioners and policy makers. Walter J. Ammann IDRC Davos 2012 Chairman The Hyogo Framework for Action will end in 2015. Three years before this happens, IDRC Davos 2012 aims to take the implementation of the HFA a further step forward and to draw conclusions to improve the design of international risk management standards. In recent years, the scope and complexity of risks and disasters have grown. IDRC Davos 2012 will again promote an integrative perspective and foster a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the many risks that threaten society, risks that may be well beyond any single entity’s capacity to control, and that may adversely affect a great variety of stakeholders across different geographic, administrative and commercial boundaries. The main elements of success are multi-disciplinary and trans-sectorial initiatives, as well as public-private partnerships in risk reduction and disaster management. The year 2011 was profoundly marked by tragic events, such as the devastating floods in Thailand, a long-lasting drought in East Africa and a terrible earthquake with cascading impacts in Japan. Moreover, the year 2012 started with a number of tragic earthquakes, which reminds us again and again of how vulnerable our communities are, how limited we are in our ability to provide help, and how difficult it is to overcome such disasters. In June 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20 was held in Brazil. It reconfirmed the world’s commitment to eradicate poverty, to accelerate progress towards the achievement of the MDGs and to take risk reduction and disaster management into account. IDRC Davos 2012 will endeavour to add momentum to this movement by formulating a series of direct, pertinent and practical solutions that address urgent and pressing issues in various key areas of risk reduction and disaster management. The outcomes of the conference will be documented in a report (see page 70). Contributions by all participants are highly welcome and should give answers to these three main questions: • What are the dominant and developing trends in risks and disasters in the modern world? • What sort of international instruments should be developed after the Hyogo Framework for Action? • What are the principal issues for the future in disaster risk reduction and resilience, and how should they be tackled? We anticipate a successful and worthwhile conference. Our thanks go to the IDRC Davos 2012 sponsors, to the authors of all the papers and posters to be presented, to the highlevel speakers and panellists, to the special session and workshop organizers; and lastly to the patrons, the scientific and technical committee, the reviewers, and the collaborating institutions for their leadership, guidance, support and hard work. Davos, August 2012 Dr. Walter J. Ammann Chairman IDRC Davos 2012 1
Conference Patrons Patronage Institutions Foreword by Ms Margareta Wahlström Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction Patronage Institutions The convergence of environmental, technical and socioeconomic risks is a formidable challenge to sustainable development. It is a generational issue that requires collective efforts, thinking and planning to increase people’s resilience. Moreover, it requires addressing the root causes of risk and strengthening the way that risk is managed. This 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference (IDRC Davos 2012) - Integrative Risk Management in a Changing World - Pathways to a Resilient Society, offers a prime opportunity to comprehensively and collectively debate and exchange knowledge as well as experience about the risks confronting the world; risks that exist because of inappropriate environmental and natural resource management, poor governance, inequitable socio-economic development, and poor urban and land use planning. United Nations Environment Programme The interconnected nature of risks calls for a multifaceted approach that combines the best expertise, acumen, wisdom and instincts to manage those risks and build and strengthen the resilience of communities. This is a key premise of the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-2015). IDRC Davos 2012 is a multidisciplinary forum where ideas and collaborations can be forged for a resilient future. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Foreword by Ms Irina Bokova Director-General of UNESCO Disaster resilience is a human development priority. We must recognize today the tight link between safety and disaster risk reduction and build on this as a central component of our work for overall sustainable development. This calls for deeper cooperation in assessing risks and mitigating their consequences. The Outcome Document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development -Rio+20 – highlights the need for a sharper focus on disaster risk reduction and building resilience to disasters. It recognizes also the importance of comprehensive hazard and risk assessments. International Labour Organisation The goal of the 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference -- IDRC Davos 2012 -- is to promote comprehensive and integrative approaches to disaster risk management. This resonates closely with UNESCO’s work to take forward disaster mitigation and preparedness. It also echoes UNESCO’s efforts to raise awareness and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among all relevant actors. For all these reasons, UNESCO is pleased to be associated with IDRC Davos 2012. I see this as a further step in the cooperation launched in June 2011 between UNESCO and the Global Risk Forum (GRF) Davos. I wish every success to the Conference and look forward to its conclusions. 2 3

Building safe and resilient communities is at the heart of these CBDRR programmes. The humanitarian relief and recovery operation following the Tsunami in 2004 provided IFRC with a unique opportunity to analyse the two key challenges in implementation of its programmes; a) to gauge how we articulate resilience in a meaningful way to the target communities of CBDRR programmes and the CBDRR practitioners and b) to identify the critical factors conducive to the achievement of the needed impact and sustainability in implementing CBDRR programmes in support of resilience building. In 2010-2011 IFRC commissioned studies on community resilience and critical factors conducive to resilience building. These studies resulted in the production of reports on a) characteristics of a safe and resilient community; b) key determinants of a successful community-based disaster risk reduction programme; and c) lessons learned. On display in the IFRC exhibition will be the reports of these resilience studies as well as various publications and CD’s on disaster risk reduction activities in support of community safety and resilience. Among publications are case studies of cost benefit analysis, guidelines on vulnerability and capacity analysis, early warning, public education, climate change adaptation and mitigation, community-based programmes for disaster preparedness, livelihoods, food and nutrition security, etc. www.ifrc.org Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project (ISMEP) Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project (ISMEP) was established under the roof of Istanbul Governorship and project conducted by Istanbul Project Coordination Unit (IPCU).

REDOG is further a section of the Swiss Cynologic Association. The dog’s nose – the best tracking tool: When an earthquake destroys cities or when an explosion leads to the collapse of a house, the chance of survival for buried people may depend on the deployment of disaster dogs. Up to the present day, the dog’s nose represents the most reliable tracking tool to localize human scent under meters thick rubble. Besides training teams of disaster dogs, REDOG further trains so called all-terrain search dogs, whose noses also is of precious use when latter haphazardly locate missing persons on hard to access or unclear terrain. no description at the time of printing http://www.nrs-international.com Rhaetian Railways (RhB) Bernina Express Ökozentrum (Centre of Appropriate Technology From glaciers to palms Experience one of the most spectacular ways to cross the Alps: and Social Ecology) Ökozentrum (Centre of Appropriate Technology and Social Ecology) is a pioneering competence centre for sustainable The Albula and Bernina lines of the Rhaetian Railway.

Aug. 2012 Monday 27. Aug. 2012 7:30-18:00 Registration 8:30-10:00 Room Plenary session 2: Mega Disasters with Cascading effects Davos Recent disasters, such as the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, have revealed that initial failures, in particular of technical systems, may trigger subsequent damage that results in mega-disasters which impact the built environment and create political, social, and financial consequences, not only at the country level, but also to the international community as a whole. The global risk community is called upon to develop innovative tools for decision making processes and practical intervention against global, systemic and complex risks, as well to combat very large disasters. This session will address questions about how these cascading effects lead to megadisasters and what measures should be applied to reduce their effects. Panelists will consider how well prepared the world is, and ought to be, in the face of exceptionally large and complex disasters during the whole risk cycle. They will address intervention, response and recovery, and also prevention and preparedness measures. Are there really completely unforeseen events, popularly known as ‘black swans’, or are we merely neglecting the risks posed by low probabilityhigh consequence phenomena? There will be an emphasis on the interaction of intense and high-magnitude physical events with socio-economic consequences and vulnerabilities, and on how to prevent, or at least interrupt, the development of cascading events. Also emphasized will be the importance of redundant systems and of resilience regarding the threat of mega disasters.

Panelists will consider what kinds of research, education and training are needed in order to respond efficiently to risks and disasters in the future and how new technologies can enhance the processes of learning about reducing risks and managing disasters. They will discuss how to build capacity in order to analyse, map and forecast hazard, risk, vulnerability and impact. In particular, they will address the problem with respect to developing countries, which may be less equipped financially and institutionally to adapt than are developing countries. Panelists will consider what support should be given to developing countries so that they can improve evidence-based science and education, access information more readily, and enhance governance. The session will address how to raise awareness in all sectors of society, and how to make sure that relevant information is disseminated effectively to policy-makers, the general public and communities at risk. In order to reduce vulnerabilities and increase resilience, information must be integrated into decisionmaking processes. The session will investigate gaps and improvements in research, education, training and knowledge transfer and will discuss how to link DRR with sustainability science and climate change adaptation.

The events may be slow in developing, as in the case of hurricanes and droughts, or sudden, as in the case of earthquakes and tornadoes. Rescue after structural collapse is one of the most challenging and dangerous disaster response activities. Sophisticated, multidisciplinary search-and-rescue capabilities have been created to address the difficulties of finding, reaching and extricating trapped survivors. The session will include a discussion on how to build and sustain urban search-and-rescue capacities within a national crises management structure. This includes assessment of the needs associated with USAR capacity development. It also involves showcasing best practices in knowledge transfer and partnership building, and promoting agreed global standards. Haresh C.

  • 3. The CHairman’s welcome The Chairman’s welcome “FROM THOUGHTS TO ACTION TOGETHER WE MAKE THINGS HAPPEN” I and my staff would like to welcome you to Davos for the 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC Davos 2012, and I would sincerely like to thank you for joining this global gathering. IDRC Davos 2012 builds on the success of its preceding conferences in 2006, 2008 and 2010, and again features a broad range of topics. It brings different actors together and strengthens partnerships. With a large number of government officials, experts and practitioners, high-level representatives of IGOs, the UN, NGOs, the private sector, scientific and academic institutions, the media and other eminent people from 100 countries, the conference provides a valuable forum for dialogue and a strategic platform for the world´s risk and disaster management community. This year, the focus of IDRC will be Integrative Risk Management in a Changing World - Pathways to a Resilient Society. With a vital mix of topics and formats, including plenary and parallel sessions, workshops, training courses, exhibitions and networking events, the conference will foster the exchange of information and viewpoints between scientists, practitioners and policy makers. Walter J. Ammann IDRC Davos 2012 Chairman The Hyogo Framework for Action will end in 2015. Three years before this happens, IDRC Davos 2012 aims to take the implementation of the HFA a further step forward and to draw conclusions to improve the design of international risk management standards. In recent years, the scope and complexity of risks and disasters have grown. IDRC Davos 2012 will again promote an integrative perspective and foster a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the many risks that threaten society, risks that may be well beyond any single entity’s capacity to control, and that may adversely affect a great variety of stakeholders across different geographic, administrative and commercial boundaries. The main elements of success are multi-disciplinary and trans-sectorial initiatives, as well as public-private partnerships in risk reduction and disaster management. The year 2011 was profoundly marked by tragic events, such as the devastating floods in Thailand, a long-lasting drought in East Africa and a terrible earthquake with cascading impacts in Japan. Moreover, the year 2012 started with a number of tragic earthquakes, which reminds us again and again of how vulnerable our communities are, how limited we are in our ability to provide help, and how difficult it is to overcome such disasters. In June 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20 was held in Brazil. It reconfirmed the world’s commitment to eradicate poverty, to accelerate progress towards the achievement of the MDGs and to take risk reduction and disaster management into account. IDRC Davos 2012 will endeavour to add momentum to this movement by formulating a series of direct, pertinent and practical solutions that address urgent and pressing issues in various key areas of risk reduction and disaster management. The outcomes of the conference will be documented in a report (see page 70). Contributions by all participants are highly welcome and should give answers to these three main questions: • What are the dominant and developing trends in risks and disasters in the modern world? • What sort of international instruments should be developed after the Hyogo Framework for Action? • What are the principal issues for the future in disaster risk reduction and resilience, and how should they be tackled? We anticipate a successful and worthwhile conference. Our thanks go to the IDRC Davos 2012 sponsors, to the authors of all the papers and posters to be presented, to the highlevel speakers and panellists, to the special session and workshop organizers; and lastly to the patrons, the scientific and technical committee, the reviewers, and the collaborating institutions for their leadership, guidance, support and hard work. Davos, August 2012 Dr. Walter J. Ammann Chairman IDRC Davos 2012 1
  • 4. Conference Patrons Patronage Institutions Foreword by Ms Margareta Wahlström Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction Patronage Institutions The convergence of environmental, technical and socioeconomic risks is a formidable challenge to sustainable development. It is a generational issue that requires collective efforts, thinking and planning to increase people’s resilience. Moreover, it requires addressing the root causes of risk and strengthening the way that risk is managed. This 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference (IDRC Davos 2012) - Integrative Risk Management in a Changing World - Pathways to a Resilient Society, offers a prime opportunity to comprehensively and collectively debate and exchange knowledge as well as experience about the risks confronting the world; risks that exist because of inappropriate environmental and natural resource management, poor governance, inequitable socio-economic development, and poor urban and land use planning. United Nations Environment Programme The interconnected nature of risks calls for a multifaceted approach that combines the best expertise, acumen, wisdom and instincts to manage those risks and build and strengthen the resilience of communities. This is a key premise of the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-2015). IDRC Davos 2012 is a multidisciplinary forum where ideas and collaborations can be forged for a resilient future. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Foreword by Ms Irina Bokova Director-General of UNESCO Disaster resilience is a human development priority. We must recognize today the tight link between safety and disaster risk reduction and build on this as a central component of our work for overall sustainable development. This calls for deeper cooperation in assessing risks and mitigating their consequences. The Outcome Document of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development -Rio+20 – highlights the need for a sharper focus on disaster risk reduction and building resilience to disasters. It recognizes also the importance of comprehensive hazard and risk assessments. International Labour Organisation The goal of the 4th International Disaster and Risk Conference -- IDRC Davos 2012 -- is to promote comprehensive and integrative approaches to disaster risk management. This resonates closely with UNESCO’s work to take forward disaster mitigation and preparedness. It also echoes UNESCO’s efforts to raise awareness and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience among all relevant actors. For all these reasons, UNESCO is pleased to be associated with IDRC Davos 2012. I see this as a further step in the cooperation launched in June 2011 between UNESCO and the Global Risk Forum (GRF) Davos. I wish every success to the Conference and look forward to its conclusions. 2 3

FWI AG was incorporated to market a new technology, developed in close cooperation with the Fire Management Center SDIS13 at Marseille since 2004. The business target is focused on long range sensor system to survey and detect different sources of environmental hazards. The major commercial product is based on the optical automated smoke detection system “Forest Ranger” which can be implemented into sophisticated computerized fire management systems and procedures. http://www.fire-watch.ch 14 The 5th International Conference on Integrated Natural Disaster Management (INDM 2012) will be held in Tehran on December 16 -17 2012 in collaboration with national and international organizations. The Conference aims to bring together experts from various fields related to risk management to collate information on different aspects of risk prevention and reduction and risk management. Our past achievements in four previous INDM conferences were made possible by strong dedication and sincere contribution of experts, researchers and consultants worldwide. INDM Organizing Committee looks forward to continue these collaborations and hope that the upcoming INDM conference provides a forum for a new direction in hazard and risk management and DRR in the world. www.indm2012.org International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies IFRC As the world’s largest humanitarian relief and development network, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has significant knowledge and experience in implementing community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) programmes. Building safe and resilient communities is at the heart of these CBDRR programmes. The humanitarian relief and recovery operation following the Tsunami in 2004 provided IFRC with a unique opportunity to analyse the two key challenges in implementation of its programmes; a) to gauge how we articulate resilience in a meaningful way to the target communities of CBDRR programmes and the CBDRR practitioners and b) to identify the critical factors conducive to the achievement of the needed impact and sustainability in implementing CBDRR programmes in support of resilience building. In 2010-2011 IFRC commissioned studies on community resilience and critical factors conducive to resilience building. These studies resulted in the production of reports on a) characteristics of a safe and resilient community; b) key determinants of a successful community-based disaster risk reduction programme; and c) lessons learned. On display in the IFRC exhibition will be the reports of these resilience studies as well as various publications and CD’s on disaster risk reduction activities in support of community safety and resilience. Among publications are case studies of cost benefit analysis, guidelines on vulnerability and capacity analysis, early warning, public education, climate change adaptation and mitigation, community-based programmes for disaster preparedness, livelihoods, food and nutrition security, etc. www.ifrc.org Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project (ISMEP) Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project (ISMEP) was established under the roof of Istanbul Governorship and project conducted by Istanbul Project Coordination Unit (IPCU). ISMEP consists of three components, which are; • Increasing the Emergency Preparedness • Reduction of Seismic Risk for Priority Public Buildings • Application of Building Codes Within the scope of the exhibition it is aimed to present of ISMEP via journals, CD’s and relevant activities. http://www.ipkb.gov.tr Kockum sonics Kockum Sonics has its roots in the early days of industrialisation.

REDOG is moreover member of the Swiss Red Cross as well as a partner organization of the air-rescue organization REGA and the Alpine Rescue Switzerland (RSC). REDOG is further a section of the Swiss Cynologic Association. The dog’s nose – the best tracking tool: When an earthquake destroys cities or when an explosion leads to the collapse of a house, the chance of survival for buried people may depend on the deployment of disaster dogs. Up to the present day, the dog’s nose represents the most reliable tracking tool to localize human scent under meters thick rubble. Besides training teams of disaster dogs, REDOG further trains so called all-terrain search dogs, whose noses also is of precious use when latter haphazardly locate missing persons on hard to access or unclear terrain. no description at the time of printing http://www.nrs-international.com Rhaetian Railways (RhB) Bernina Express Ökozentrum (Centre of Appropriate Technology From glaciers to palms Experience one of the most spectacular ways to cross the Alps: and Social Ecology) Ökozentrum (Centre of Appropriate Technology and Social Ecology) is a pioneering competence centre for sustainable The Albula and Bernina lines of the Rhaetian Railway.

Aug. 2012 7:30-18:00 Registration 8:30-10:00 Room Plenary session 2: Mega Disasters with Cascading effects Davos Recent disasters, such as the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, have revealed that initial failures, in particular of technical systems, may trigger subsequent damage that results in mega-disasters which impact the built environment and create political, social, and financial consequences, not only at the country level, but also to the international community as a whole. The global risk community is called upon to develop innovative tools for decision making processes and practical intervention against global, systemic and complex risks, as well to combat very large disasters. This session will address questions about how these cascading effects lead to megadisasters and what measures should be applied to reduce their effects. Panelists will consider how well prepared the world is, and ought to be, in the face of exceptionally large and complex disasters during the whole risk cycle. They will address intervention, response and recovery, and also prevention and preparedness measures. Are there really completely unforeseen events, popularly known as ‘black swans’, or are we merely neglecting the risks posed by low probabilityhigh consequence phenomena? There will be an emphasis on the interaction of intense and high-magnitude physical events with socio-economic consequences and vulnerabilities, and on how to prevent, or at least interrupt, the development of cascading events. Also emphasized will be the importance of redundant systems and of resilience regarding the threat of mega disasters.

Panelists will consider what kinds of research, education and training are needed in order to respond efficiently to risks and disasters in the future and how new technologies can enhance the processes of learning about reducing risks and managing disasters. They will discuss how to build capacity in order to analyse, map and forecast hazard, risk, vulnerability and impact. In particular, they will address the problem with respect to developing countries, which may be less equipped financially and institutionally to adapt than are developing countries. Panelists will consider what support should be given to developing countries so that they can improve evidence-based science and education, access information more readily, and enhance governance. The session will address how to raise awareness in all sectors of society, and how to make sure that relevant information is disseminated effectively to policy-makers, the general public and communities at risk. In order to reduce vulnerabilities and increase resilience, information must be integrated into decisionmaking processes. The session will investigate gaps and improvements in research, education, training and knowledge transfer and will discuss how to link DRR with sustainability science and climate change adaptation.

The events may be slow in developing, as in the case of hurricanes and droughts, or sudden, as in the case of earthquakes and tornadoes. Rescue after structural collapse is one of the most challenging and dangerous disaster response activities. Sophisticated, multidisciplinary search-and-rescue capabilities have been created to address the difficulties of finding, reaching and extricating trapped survivors. The session will include a discussion on how to build and sustain urban search-and-rescue capacities within a national crises management structure. This includes assessment of the needs associated with USAR capacity development. It also involves showcasing best practices in knowledge transfer and partnership building, and promoting agreed global standards. Haresh C.
