Issues Discussed in This PresentationIssues Discussed in This Presentation
• Preliminary Analysis of WMO Country-level Survey - Global
• Intro to Preliminary Analysis of WMO Country-level Survey - Regional
• Status of Regional-Level DPM Survey
• Seven primary Gap Areas

Mapping of Capacities, Gaps and NeedsMapping of Capacities, Gaps and Needs Country-level DPM Survey (Doc. 2) Country-level DPM Survey (Doc. 2)
• Issues considered– Key hazards
– National DRM governance and NMHS organizational structure
– NMHS technical capacities
– Partnerships and collaborations
– Major gaps and needs
• Survey designed too enable objective analysis for any regions, sub regions, country groupings, etc
• Launched in March 2006• 139 Responses received • An electronic database has been developed with
statistical analysis interface

Understanding of Benefits of NMHSs Understanding of Benefits of NMHSs at Ministerial Levelat Ministerial Level
• 108/134 indicate low visibility of NMHS within government a major hurdle to NMHS contribution to DRM
• 124/132 indicate lack of ministerial understanding of benefits of hydro-met services to DRM a limiting factor
• 72/131 indicate national legislation and policies do not reflect role of NMHSs in DRM
8
Number of Countries Keeping Data ArchivesNumber of Countries Keeping Data Archives
• Very few countries maintain impact databases
• Need for strengthening NMHS capacities for hazard data archiving and maintaining standard databases

Regional-level DPM survey is being implemented by RA Regional-level DPM survey is being implemented by RA Working Group on DPM to address issues related to:Working Group on DPM to address issues related to:
i) Providing information on initiatives through various economic groupings and agencies to develop regional strategic plans for implementing the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA)
ii) Strengthening regional capacity’s in disaster risk management
iii) Identification and prioritization of hazards that pose the greatest risk resulting in a need for cross boundary / sub-regional / regional collaboration and cooperation
iv) Understanding the current capacities and activities in the region in support of disaster risk management, and how these regional capacities and activities support these focus areas, including the projects underway through the working groups of the Regional Association
v) Identification of gaps and needs and cross-boundary challenges for enhancing capacities in support of disaster risk management
vi) Regional priorities with respect to addressing these gaps and needs
vii) Identification of existing and potential future partnerships and concrete project areas of the regional association with other agencies involved in disaster risk reduction.
viii) Prioritization of activities / projects in support of Members capacities in disaster risk management in your Regional Association.
