In order to address the impact of the
Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred on 12 May 2008 and
registered 8.0 on the Richter scale, the Government of China
will implement an effective, comprehensive, and sustainable
recovery program. At the same time, it is important that the
government consider how the recovery process can contribute
to disaster risk reduction (DRR), the objective being to
make communities and assets significantly more resilient to
the impact of future disasters. A primary aim of recovery
management is to use the opportunity to build or strengthen
resilience in society that is, its citizens, livelihoods,
buildings, critical facilities, government administration,
and the natural environment. To establish an effective DRR
framework, key institutional actors and stakeholders need to
work together and be aware of their respective roles and
responsibilities. These include the national, provincial,
and local government levels, the relevant government
ministries and agencies, and local communities. An effective
disaster management system covers the following five
aspects: (i) risk identification; (ii) emergency
preparedness; (iii) institutional capacity building; (iv)
risk mitigation; and (v) catastrophe risk financing. |
