Considering this and future growth outlook in traffic volumes, it will be crucial to include in upgrading of the section the proper resilience measures in the design. Vulnerability assessment will make certain that the design of the road section incorporates disaster-proven standards to ensure proper drainage and resilience to heavy rainfall, flooding, and landslides as well as other hazards. Hence, the proposed component will include (i) carrying out of an assessment to identify the vulnerable points of the pilot road section to extreme weather conditions; (ii) verification and recommendation of amendments to the existing design to integrate resilience measures before completion of the works; and (iii) development of an instrument for DRM control and monitoring for the section, which could be later extended to other major corridors.
technical solutions for Chin State by hiring an international consulting firm to prepare a hazard and vulnerability assessment for road rehabilitation to inform planned investments under the Myanmar Floods and Landslides Emergency Recovery Project in Chin State in Myanmar. The overall objective of the assignment is to contribute to the increase of capacities of the relevant ministries and agencies of the Government of Myanmar in the adoption of appropriate natural hazard assessment approaches in designing transport and infrastructure. The activity will (i) help provide technical solutions on geohazards specifically for Kalay Hakha road, based on an assessment of hazards; (ii) draw out lessons along the above process, including data gaps and recommend technical and monitoring solutions for improvement; (iii) and provide capacity building for the Ministry of Construction on this practice. The assignment is expected to be completed within the period of an estimated six months upon mobilization.
annual meetings when our group, visitors from more than 189 countries along with Indonesians on the island and neighboring communities were acutely woken up at dawn with magnitude 6.4 quake that struck off the coast. Early reports by the National Disaster Mitigation Agency indicated extensive damage to infrastructure and loss of lives in the span of a few minutes. The Indonesian response that followed revealed the difference disaster risk finance can bring to families, economies and societies at large. I was humbled by what I experienced and what we can contribute -as an institution together with our partners- to manage these acute disasters more prudently, effectively and humanely.
understanding and to increase the capacity of governments to take informed decisions on DRF based on sound financial analysis. The objective of the project will be achieved through four outcomes:
WASHINGTON, June 18, 2018 – 
relevant ministries and agencies of the Republic of Tajikistan in the adoption of the most appropriate and comprehensive natural hazard assessment approaches in designing more resilient transport and flood protection infrastructure.
thirty thousand injured, with economic damages projected at more than $3 billion. Unfortunately, events like these are becoming all too commonplace. Impacts from natural disasters are on the rise, posing a growing threat to economies and the lives of millions of people around the world.
