3 Focus Disaster: earthquake, drought, flood, high wind, landslides, volcano, tsunami/high tide etc. Severe damage by flood and drought were reported worldwide. Focus mainly on flood and drought Seek ways to disaster mitigation and risk management

4 ~WSSD Implementation Plan~ Main Subject Paragraph 35 An integrated, multi-hazard, inclusive approach is an essential element of a safer world in the 21 st century. Pertinent Paragraph Paragraph 25 Develop integrated water resources management and water efficiency plans by 2005, with support to developing countries. Paragraph 39 Strengthen the implementation of the United Nations Convention to combat desertification in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification.

5 Countermeasures against Flood and Drought (1) Based on WSSD Implementation Plan, Paragraph 35 (1) Promote Countermeasures Reduce the risks of flooding and drought in vulnerable countries Encourage the dissemination and use of traditional and indigenous knowledge Promote community-based disaster management planning by local authorities, including through training activities and raising public awareness Develop and strengthen early warning systems and information networks in disaster management

6 Countermeasures against Flood and Drought (2) Based on WSSD Implementation Plan, Paragraph 35 (2) Promotion of International Cooperation/Information Sharing Strengthen the role of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction Support the establishment of effective regional, subregional and national strategies and scientific and technical institutional support for disaster management Strengthen the institutional capacities of countries and promote international joint observation and research Promote cooperation for the prevention and mitigation of major technological and other disasters

7 Countermeasures against Flood and Drought (3) Based on WSSD Implementation Plan, Paragraph 35 (3) Promotion of R&D Improve techniques and methodologies for assessing the effects of climate change Develop and strengthen capacity at all levels to collect and disseminate scientific and technical information

8 Agenda Report and review of experience of floods and droughts that have affected various countries and basins Information sharing related to causes and mechanism of disasters Countermeasures against floods and droughts that have affected various countries and basins Common understanding of importance of disaster countermeasures by various nations and international organizations Specific joint activities that should be conducted by various nations and international organizations against floods and drought Example: to design an international system of activities to share experiences/knowledge/countermeasures of disasters

9 Summary of Strategy Develop disaster management plan/organization/ system against floods/drought per basin. Promote technical support/organization/system/ competence development for developing countries and other countries that suffer from flood and drought to support preparation/implementation of the above. Share/achieve universal scientific/technical knowledge and experiences (to design the knowledge base). Design framework to clarify the relation of cause and effect of climatic change and disaster and establish its survey and research system.
