The Terms of Reference (TOR) of TF 1. The main objective of the Task Force is to

provide technical advisory to the cross cutting project of UFRM, including the following activities:a) Inventory of good practices b)Develop manual for implementation of the

projectc) Provision of technical advisory for pilot case

studies.

2. The Task Force will also create guidance material for UFRM based on the good practices and the pilot city studies, which can be used in other countries.

Objective of Task Force

24/37

Structure and Organization of TF

1)The Task Force consists of the three chairs and vice-chairs of the three Working Groups of TC, and TC Secretariat.

2)The chair of the WGH is the leader of the Task Force.

3)Support Groups which are approved by the Task Force can participate, fund and give advice to the pilot case studies.

4)Activities of Task Force members will be supported by in-kind contribution of Task Force members, however, contributions from donors are to be sought. In kind contribution from TC members and interested partners is encouraged.

5)The Task Force will be coordinated and supported by the Advisory Working Group (AWG) of TC.

25/37

Reporting of TFThe Task Force is required to provide timely progress report at TC session and seek advice when necessary.

26/37

Pilot Cities of UFRM Project

The criteria for selecting pilot cities:1)Cities which their national focal points are

willing to conduct studies and have agreed on using the study result in the guidance material;

2)Cities which were frequently affected by floods or storm surges induced by typhoons;

3)Cities which are socio-economically and environmentally important in their countries, as well as in the region or areas.

The pilot case studies will be implemented by national focal points, based on the manual for implementation of the project, with supports from various sources.

27/37

Four pilot Cities and the contact persons:

1)Metro Manila, Philippines, Dr. Susan R. Espinueva,

• potentially receiving financial support to hold workshop on urban flood risk reduction from Support Groups of UFRM;

• receiving the technical advices and the latest information from TC network on specific topics as requested by the cities; and

• receiving TC-AWG’s support to liaise with donors on urban flood risk reduction projects formulation.

The Pilot Cities will be benefited by:

29/37

TC is suggested to seek the further technical cooperation or funding support from UN agencies, international organizations, private companies or individuals as Support Groups of UFRM. 1)WMO, ADPC, ADRC, ICHARM and JAXA were

initially proposed as support groups of the project;

2)MLIT-Japan, MLTM- RoK, JICA, KOICA, ADB, WB-GFDRR also are suggested as the potential Support Groups, Although we need negotiation in advance.

Support Groups of UFRM Project

1. Before the IWS at Macao; ICHARM, lead organization of this Flood Disaster Preparedness Indices (FDPI) project, had developed a set of disaster preparedness indices (a questionnaire survey including 78 points to be checked). At the same time, ICARM acquired the web site at http://www.fdpi.jp/fdpi/ where proposed questionnaire survey will be taken.

2. During Macao IWS; Japan will present in detail the configuration of questionnaire set together with introduction of the usage of newly-opened web-page from where questionnaire surveys will be taken. TC Members are then requested to cater this info. to disaster managers in many municipalities/communities in each territory.

3. By end-2010; Questionnaire survey will hopefully be participated by numerous number of municipalities/communities in TC members. Answers will be compiled and processed by ICHARM. Municipalities/communities will receive from ICHARM results of overall situation paper for flood preparedness level in TC region, as well as diagnosis report of flood preparedness level of each participating body.
