UN Sasakawa Award on Disaster Reduction to be Presented

The International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction will be celebrated on 9 October with initiatives highlighting the way ahead on how to reduce risk, benefiting from risk mapping, educationand mountain development, as a contribution to the International Year of Mountains. In particular, anew brochure on “Disaster Reduction for Sustainable Mountain Development” offers information ondisaster reduction in mountain areas; a children’s booklet on volcanoes has been produced; and theUnited Nations Sasakawa Award for Disaster Reduction will be delivered in Geneva to reward out-standing achievements by disaster reduction practitioners in their field.

The United Nations and the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction aim for the high ground asthe focus for the International Day for Disaster Reduction on 9 October. They want to build a saferworld for mountain communities. This is a contribution to the International Year of Mountains in 2002.“No community is immune from the threat of natural disasters, but mountain communities are particu-larly vulnerable,” says Sálvano Briceño, Director of the ISDR Secretariat of the United Nations. Windsseem to blow harder and snowfalls are more perilous in the high passes. Avalanches can wipe outwhole villages. Heavy rains can wash away fields, long droughts can spell starvation. Earthquakescan send hillsides tumbling, volcanic eruptions can make thousands homeless. Altitude and steep-ness and vulnerability to pollution and climate change mean that mountain people are more at riskthan ever. Poverty has forced people to build homes on hazard-prone slopes, and demographicpressures have pushed them to settle at the feet of volcanoes, and other seismically active areas.

Several initiatives highlight the way ahead and how to live with the risk, and benefit from risk mapping,education and mountain development. The brochure on “Disaster Reduction for Sustainable Moun-tain Development” offers information on the issues at stake as well as concrete examplesof disaster reduction solutions already in practice in mountain areas worldwide. A children’s bookleton volcanoes and volcanic risk reduction has also been produced.

In Geneva, the International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction is highlighted through the delivery ofthe United Nations Sasakawa Award for Disaster Reduction. The Award is sponsored by the NipponFoundation, Japan, and is given every year to reward outstanding achievements by disaster reduc-tion practitioners in their field. This year, the UN Sasakawa Award for Disaster Reduction goes toProfessor Sergueï Balassanian, President of the Armenian Association of Seismology and Physics ofthe Earth’s Interior (AASPEI).

Several Certificates of Distinction and Merit are also awarded every year. The 2002 Certificates ofDistinction go to Mr. Muhammad Saidur Rahman, Bangladesh, Director of the Bangladesh DisasterPreparedness Centre, Ms. Fernanda Teixeira, Secretary General of the Mozambique Red Cross, andthe Emergency Monitoring and Forecasting Agency, Russian Federation. Certificates of Merit 2002are given to United Nations Volunteers (UNV), Guatemala; Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (CVTL), andLt. Colonel Abbu Darwish, Jordan, Director of the Disasters Department of the Jordan Civil Defence.The ceremony will take place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva in room XII at 17:00 pm followed bya cocktail. Details on this year’s awardees are attached.

60 “Concerning the nature of the damage, it reveals a lot of snapping of plants rather than topplingwhich is a good sign. It shows that farmers have been taking care of their plantations and are using theinformation that extension officers are passing on to them. If that was not the case you would havefound a lot of toppling of plans displaying a very poor root system. All of this tells us that as farnematode control is concerned, farmers are doing a good job,” Said Minister George.

The latest damage caused to the industry comes at a time when farmers and the country werebeginning to see the first signs of a possible recovery in the banana industry, after it recorded theworst draught in 40 years in 2001, which resulted in dramatic shortfalls in production. Agriculturalofficials recently returned to the island after a major fact-finding activity in the UK, designed to furtherpromote St. Lucian bananas to major supermarket chains.
