What is Disaster Management?
Disaster management can be defined as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with
all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular
preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the
impact of disasters.

Why The Need…?
• Looks beyond the traditional, “government centric” approach
• Creates a national dialogue
• Joining efforts towards a common approach– Supports integrated planning and preparedness across all
sectors of society
– Building and strengthening needs and capacities at the national and sectoral levels
– Focuses on reducing risks and vulnerabilities
• Understanding the importance of roles of others
![Page 5: Sharon I. Peyus / Robert C. Hutchinson Homeland Security Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813785550346895d9f1dd8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Meeting the Needs of…
• Individuals
• Families
• Neighborhoods
• Communities
• Public and private sectors
• Vulnerable populations “at-risk”
• Neighboring nations
• Regional partners
![Page 6: Sharon I. Peyus / Robert C. Hutchinson Homeland Security Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813785550346895d9f1dd8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Whole of Society Approach
Planning / Coordination / Communication
![Page 7: Sharon I. Peyus / Robert C. Hutchinson Homeland Security Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813785550346895d9f1dd8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
At the Heart…
• High level of political commitment
• Broader engagement– Government departments (e.g., agricultural,
military/defense, labor, education, transport, trade and commerce, judiciary)
– Private sector / civil society (e.g., industry, non-governmental organizations)
– Community, family and individuals
• Improved coordination through partnerships among public, veterinary, and ecosystem health agents
![Page 8: Sharon I. Peyus / Robert C. Hutchinson Homeland Security Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813785550346895d9f1dd8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
At the Heart (cont’d)
• Coordinated strategy for disaster management / response / readiness
– Continuity planning
– Critical interdependencies
– Consideration of existing resources as well as unmet resource needs
• Joint preparedness / planning at all levels
• Communication – Consistent, accurate, and structured messaging
• Emphasis on flexibility and adaptability
![Page 9: Sharon I. Peyus / Robert C. Hutchinson Homeland Security Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813785550346895d9f1dd8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Critical Interdependencies
• Critical goods and services– Providers of essential services (e.g.
water and energy)
– Interdependencies with each
• Sudden and significant shortages of personnel
• Complex interdependencies of the health care sector and other sectors
• Regional response networks
• Supply chain / distribution disruptions
– What are the likely points of failure?

Why Planning Beyond Health?
• No single agency or organization can prepare for a pandemic or natural disaster on its own
• Need for improved preparedness
and prevention strategies
• Strengthen resilience to other types of disasters
• Reduce the social and economic impacts
![Page 12: Sharon I. Peyus / Robert C. Hutchinson Homeland Security Investigations](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813785550346895d9f1dd8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Thank you!
“Building a culture of prevention is not easy.
While the costs of prevention have to be paid
in the present, its benefits lie in a distant future.
Moreover, the benefits are not tangible;
they are the disasters that did NOT happen.”
Kofi Annan, 1999
