Disaster Policy

This paper attempts to identify major natural hazards and disaster incidents damage and losses in Nepal. Using participatory and geographical diversity approach and for collecting information, multi-criteria decision making methods and analytical hierarchic process to identify the hazard prone area with type and intensity and location -specific innovative practices and their legitimization for integrating local and skills knowledge into mainstream development policy , science and technology through educational assessment to incorporate local knowledge as live science for disaster management, climate change adaptation and sustainable livelihood improvement . Findings of the study reveal that their varieties of natural hazards, such as landslides, flood/inundation, droughts, soil erosion, earthquakes, thunderstorm/lightening and fire which are exacerbated by environmental degradation processes. There are location specific local practices for resources conservation, utilization and disaster management for the well-being of communities before, during and after disasters. Such practices passed on from one generation to the next without integrating into mainstream development strategies, disaster policy and science. Ecology knowledge and local skills and materials for hazard prevention and mitigation have the important role to mitigate the hazards and ensure the sustainability for community life style. Further, study forwarded an action-oriented model i.e. political-ecological framework for the environmental resource conservation, disaster management and climate change adaptation practice in mostly vulnerable locations of Nepal. Moreover, measures are suggested to enhance the community capacity for managing their livelihood resources and disaster at the community level with proper integration of local knowledge with science and mainstream development policy.

The Relationship

In this study, by considering the relationship between disaster management and sustainable development in general, disaster management is handled with strategic management and planning approach and its roles in sustainable development are emphasized. Besides literature search, the study primarily focused on disaster management, then, through the example of Turkey, disaster management and development of disaster policy were evaluated on the basis of sustainability and strategic planning. In addition, it was emphasized that for Turkey and other countries alike, disaster management should not only be considered as an emergency event, but it should also be handled in the national strategic plans and targets with a multi-stakeholder, governance approach that includes all dimensions such as risk mitigation, intervention, improvement and reconstruction. For this purpose, it is planned to include suggestions on how common development and cooperation models should be on a national and international scale.

The Face

Kediri Regency is one of the regions in the province of East Java with various potential natural disasters except tsunami. Some potential natural disasters in Kediri Regency are volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, nipples, earthquakes. Referring to the IRB (Disaster Risk Index) released by BNPB in 2013, shows that Kediri regency is included in one of the administrative areas in East Java that has a high disaster index. The policy on disaster relief in Kediri Regency has been arranged in regional regulation No. 2 year 2015 which governs the Organization and administration of BPBD (Regional disaster management Agency). The policy has been running for almost 5 years, therefore seeing the various potential disasters owned by Kediri district, researchers want to examine the extent to which the policy has been implemented and observe about readiness in the face of various potential future threats in the future. The findings in the field indicate that in implementing a disaster policy there are currently some indicators in the evaluation (Dunn, 1999) that has not been achieved optimally.
