| description |
Experiencing both recurrent small-scale
events as well as devastating large-scale catastrophes, no
other region in the world is affected by disasters as is
East Asia and the Pacific. In the last decade, Ho Chi Minh
City, Jakarta, Manila, and many other cities have been
repeatedly hit by floods. In the last five years, Asia has
experienced a large share of wide-scale natural
catastrophes, including earthquakes in the Tohoku region in
2011, Padang in 2009, and Wenchuan in 2008; typhoons in 2009
in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the
Philippines, and Vietnam; a cyclone in Myanmar in 2008; and
large-scale floods in 2011 in Cambodia, Thailand, and the
Philippines. The year 2011 was the costliest year on record
for natural disasters with cascading effects (Japan) and
trans-boundary consequences (Thailand), adding up to US$380
billion in economic losses, almost doubling the 2005 record
of US$262 billion. In the first nine months in 2011, East
Asia sustained about 80 percent of all disaster losses
worldwide. The executive summary provides a brief overview
of the key issues, strategic goals, and recommendations for
DRM in East Asia and the Pacific. Chapter one gives an
overview of the key trends related to disaster impacts in
the region. Chapter two focuses on cross-sectoral issues of
institutional arrangements for DRM and outreach to
communities. Chapter's three to seven follow the core
areas of DRM: risk identification, risk reduction, emergency
preparedness, financial protection, and sustainable recovery
and reconstruction. The appendixes include additional
information related to specific sections of the report, a
glossary of key terminology, and a summary of the main
activities of the World Bank East Asia and the Pacific
disaster risk management team. |
