Bam Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
UN’s role in Response & Recovery
From Emergency Humanitarian Assistance to Reconstruction and Risk Management
– U N Strategy for Support to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran following the Bam Earthquake: Short, medium and long term
– Lessons Learned from large-scale reconstruction programmes in Japan, India and Turkey International workshop (Tehran 25-26 February 2004).

Bam Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
Challenges in long-term Recovery• Setting up appropriate institutional arrangements for the
management of large scale reconstruction programmes
• Using recovery programme as an opportunity to enhance standards of earthquake safety in not only Bam but other vulnerable areas of Iran
• The issue of site selection – where to rebuild Bam? In the same location or on another site?
• Introducing building technologies that are not only earthquake resistant but also cost-effective, locally appropriate, employment generating and sustainable

Bam Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
Challenges in Long term Recovery• Ensuring that the local initiative and the resources and
capacities of the affected people are fully utilized
• Using reconstruction as a means of revitalizing the local economy by focusing on both the pre-existing micro-enterprises and creating new livelihood options
• Capturing and institutionalising the lessons learned from Bam
• Developing synergies between reconstruction activities in different sectors such as health, infrastructure, public services and shelter

Bam Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
Lessons & Road Map for Safer Communities• Translating policies into practice at the local level
• Strengthening capacities on all aspects of disaster risk management at the local and intermediate levels
• Building a knowledge base on existing and emerging patterns of disaster risk (good information on natural hazards alone is not enough)
• Build capacities to mainstream disaster risk reduction into development processes.

Bam Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction
• Link disaster management at local, provincial and national levels.
• Use Bam experiences and lessons to reduce risk in other vulnerable parts of Iran and the region.
