Introduction
Developing countries’ disaster profiles are dominated by droughts, fires, floods, technological accidents, diseases and epidemics that disrupt people’s livelihoods, destroy the infrastructure, divert planned use of resources, interrupt economic activities and retard development. In addition to this, a fast-tracked pace of development in the developing world has brought with it the perils of precarious living, pressures on non-renewable resources, densely populated spaces that are unplanned, unsafe and risky and environmental degradation among others. As a consequence, the frequency of disasters such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, landslides, droughts, and fire outbreaks has gone up.
Something needs to be done.
This training targets third world government departments and agencies at various administrative levels to enable them to prepare disaster management plans, generate risk maps using qualitative and quantitative methods, adequately prepare for and prevent or mitigate hazard impacts, develop and implement policies and effective corporate governance related to the disaster. It also provides guidance on effective communication, coordination, collaboration and cooperation in performing roles and responsibilities in times of disaster in order to build community resilience and ensure that impacts are minimized by an efficient and effective disaster response.
