3 Executive Summary The Workshop on Disaster Recovery Planning held at Radisson Summit Hotel in Panama City on September 2012 was one of the 15 workshops covered under the European Commission (EC) funded project titled Strengthening Region-based Capacities in Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning. This project is being implemented by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) through the International Recovery Platform (IRP) in close coordination with the Central America Integration System for Regional Disaster Risk Management (SICA), Coordinating Center for the Prevention of Natural Disasters in Central America (CEPREDENAC), and the Government of Panama. Over 32 officials from national government, local governments, development organizations, and civil society organizations participated in the workshop. The composition of participants was ideal in making sure that the planning process encapsulates local knowledge, regional experience, and international sectoral expertise. The workshop resulted into discussions among representatives from government bodies, national platforms (including CSO members), and IRP partners to further share knowledge and exchange information for recovery planning. UNISDR for the Americas has sought the services of a consultant to further enrich the module adapting more local cases and translation of materials from English to Spanish to scale up the workshop in countries of Central America. Participants coming from universities agreed to discuss measures to promote academic courses relative to recovery planning. Government representatives also expressed interest in integrating recovery concerns in development planning and how to discuss mechanisms of how to bring this interest down to the local levels as well as to other sector of the government that are engaged in recovery planning. For continued partnerships, UNISDR for the Americas and IRP are discussing with CEPREDENAC options to facilitate effective modalities for strengthening the capacities of Central American states in recovery planning. Overall, the workshop enriched participants knowledge of integrating disaster recovery planning into their national DRR plans, UNDAFs, and other planning/programming instruments.

5 Background 1. The Workshop on Disaster Recovery Planning held at Radisson Summit Hotel in Panama City, Honduras on September 2012 was one of the 15 workshops covered under the European Commission (EC) funded project titled Strengthening Region-based Capacities in Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning. This project is being implemented by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) through the International Recovery Platform (IRP). A note of introduction about the workshop is in Annex IRP, on the basis of its mandate, seeks to contribute to the enhancement of postdisaster recovery operations by developing essential capacities through training, experience sharing, and technical exchanges. It addresses the demands of governments, local officials, and leaders who are entrusted with the responsibilities for planning, managing, and executing resilient disaster reduction and recovery activities including pre-disaster recovery planning. 3. The overall objective of the workshop in Panama was to reinforce the capabilities of national governments (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama) in disaster recovery planning through the Coordinating Center for the Prevention of Natural Disasters in Central America (CEPREDENAC) in cooperation with government agencies and UNISDR partners. It is expected that the beneficiaries of the workshop could have a seamless access to the expertise within the region, and plan for a better integration of risk reduction concerns in all phases of the recovery process that builds on the existing assessment of risks. Additionally, the workshop was generally aimed at ensuring that risk reduction approaches are systematically incorporated into the design of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery programs in accordance with strategic goal (c) of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). 4. The Guidance Notes on Recovery, developed by IRP, served as based material for the workshop. It also served as an additional tool for policymakers and planners to effectively address the issues on recovery. The guidance notes, which compile global case studies on recovery, were explained at the workshop because experiences from large-scale disasters indicate that national and/or local governments are often illprepared to carry out the demanding tasks of planning for effective long term recovery and development. Moreover, governments need to strengthen its capacity in recovery planning because oftentimes the capacity is overwhelmed in the relief and response efforts. 5. The workshop module on pre-disaster recovery planning (Annex 2), developed on the basis of the guidance notes, was adopted to facilitate the workshop. This module covered 11 recovery sectors (i.e. climate change, environment, gender, governance, health, infrastructure, livelihood, pre-disaster recovery planning, psycho-social, shelter, and telling live lessons) where capacity of government officials, who are engaged in longterm recovery, can be strengthened.

6 Organizing Partners 6. With funding support from EC, the workshop was jointly organized by Central America Integration System for Regional Disaster Risk Management (SICA), CEPREDENAC, UNISDR for the Americas, UNDP, and IRP. 7. CEPREDENAC is the regional inter-governmental organization in Central America, which is to continually support member states in capacity building and technical assistance. Staffers at CEPREDENAC have exposures in early recovery and/or reconstruction processes, PDNA, land use planning, public investment systems, and preparedness or contingency planning that are crucial in the workshop. UNDP and UNISDR for the Americas are closely working with CEPREDENAC and Central American states on disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts. 8. The governments of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama were actively involved in mobilizing the participants and in preparing the local case studies for sharing and discussions. The process help ensures ownership of plans and outputs. Participants 9. Over 32 officials from national government, local governments, development organizations, and civil society organizations participated in the workshop (Annex 3).

7 10. The primary participants of the workshop were functionaries from government and regional organizations which would create a standby capacity at the regional level available to any high risk country desiring Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning (PDRP) support. Other participants were government officials who are engaged in recovery planning - from the national platform, as well as from supporting ministries such as public works, environment, health, welfare, and shelter. 11. In addition to staffers from national and local governments, members of donor community were also represented, linking with the Making Cities Resilient Campaign of the UNISDR. The composition of participants was ideal in making sure that the planning process encapsulates local knowledge, regional experience, and international sectoral expertise. 12. The participants of the workshop are expected to contribute in (i) building a critical mass of professionals in country governments oriented towards resilient recovery, and who can inform the recovery processes in the country as well as advocate for build back better, (ii) improving the knowledge in managing recovery programs based on lessons learned from prior global experiences, (iii) improving global support for more effective management of recovery after major disasters, and (iv) disseminating additional resources on recovery, reflecting the best of global knowledge, which can assist the participants in recovery project development and execution. Workshop Activities 13. The three-day workshop comprised mainly: (i) sharing of stories on recovery initiatives along various sectors and (ii) group exercises on recovery planning. Sharing of Case Studies 14. The case studies covered different sectors of recovery as reflected in the workshop schedule (Annex 4). Lessons drawn from specific case were explained by IRP resource persons/consultants with the aid of PowerPoint presentation. Most of the case studies were taken from the guidance notes, and were presented to provide participants with menu of options in addressing recovery issues. Local participants were encouraged to share local stories and experiences, which will then be added into the online version of the Guidance Notes. 15. Each case study highlighted a unique recovery practice, designed to entice participants to reflect and analyze whether such practice is applicable to their contexts. In presenting a recovery case, three points were emphasized: (i) the unique feature a recovery practice; (ii) the process how such recovery practice is carried out; and (iii) the lessons that can be disseminated to other countries. In most presentations, photos and graphic illustrations were added in the PowerPoint slides. Some slides show detailed information, including related tools, checklists, and web links to guide participants. Examples of PowerPoint slides are shown below. W o r k s h o p A c t i v i t i e s 3

Printed copies of PowerPoint presentations as well as CDs/USBs containing relevant materials and references on recovery were provided to all participants to be used in workshop. The list of resources contained in the CD/USB is shown in Annex Local partners were engaged in workshop delivery, particularly by sharing case studies relevant to Central America. In particular, Mr. Ivan Morales, Executive Secretary CEPREDENAC; Ms. Lourdes Ardon, National Coordinator COPECO Honduras; Mr. Nelson Rodriguez, Coordinator Red Cross Central America; Mr. Walter Rene Monroy, Director Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Guatemala; Ms. Leonie Arguello, UNDP Nicaragua; Ms. Maria Jesus Izquierdo, Consultant UNISDR Panama; Mr. Pablo Ruiz, UNDP; and Ms. Carolina Dreikorn, UNDP El Salvador made presentations see Photos in Annex 6. Recovery Planning Exercises 18. Post-disaster recovery scenarios from earthquake and floods (Annex 7) were provided to guide participants who were group into four different teams to plan for recovery. The main objective of each team was to suggest appropriate options to be considered in the recovery plan. W o r k s h o p A c t i v i t i e s 4

9 19. Based on their discussions for each recovery sector, the teams came up with basic principles and guidance for a recovery plan. The recovery plan mentioned the key challenges, the basic approach to recovery, and some of the options to address the issues given in the scenario. The consolidated group output is shown in Annex 8. It contains key recommendations for addressing future recovery challenges following a disaster. 20. The session on Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning generated substantive discussions, and participants belonging to same country group together to formulate recommendations on key components to be considered in the plan. Country-specific recommendations on pre-disaster recovery plans for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama are shown in Annex At the workshop, each team was given opportunity to present their output (a form of policy paper on comprehensive recovery for the government) to other teams at the plenary. During the group presentation, it was assumed that the Governor/political head of the province were attending the briefing. The group presentations provided opportunity for all participants to ask share and ask questions regarding recommendations. Results Evaluation 22. Feedback on various aspects of the training was drawn from participants evaluation and through informal interactions between training staff and key partners who jointly organized the workshop. The approach of the workshop and the materials used in the training were general regarded as excellent or good. Participants reported that the workshop addressed knowledge gaps on recovery and reinforced governments existing recovery planning initiatives. 23. Some of the specific feedback from the participants are listed below: What would you change or advance in their jobs after this workshop? Sensitize decision-making at all levels Creating a team to lead the process of developing national recovery frameworks Include recovery issues in the National Development Agenda Share knowledge on recovery (lessons and good practice) and replicate where appropriate Promote a Culture of Prevention Involve local authorities R e s u l t s 5

10 What help do you need for that change happen? Depoliticize recovery interventions Support authorities by promoting leadership and commitment Inform local level stakeholders and engage them in decision-making Technical support and documentation for recovery cases Resources for course replication (e.g. workshops on disaster recovery planning) On what topic would you like more information? How to develop the recovery plan - step by step methodology guide Development of a pilot project for understanding the process of pre-disaster planning 24. Overall, the participants expressed that the case studies and examples shared at the workshops were useful for planning exercises. It was suggested that more detailed explanation of the lessons that are focused on regional cases may be promoted. Cases that are not relevant to the situation of the region may be limited, as it might case information overload. Other suggestions concerning the workshop were, Put emphasis on the conceptual framework and terminologies (objectives of the workshop Develop the workshop in Spanish Increase the duration of the workshop Send materials before the event Utilize case studies with examples from the region Build a network and maintain contacts among participants Provide necessary technical support 25. As participants represented key government agencies (e.g. public works, housing, health, civil defense, finance, education, social welfare, and governance), the workshop anticipated rolling out initiatives and interagency coordination in recovery planning. The level of participation indicated that the workshop attracted the right audience whom EC and international development agencies can tap to coordinate long-term recovery efforts. For coordination purposes, the names of participants were added in IRP s Roster of Experts. Capacity 26. The workshop resulted into discussions among representatives from government bodies, national platforms (including CSO members), and IRP partners to further share knowledge and exchange information for recovery planning. The workshop enriched participants knowledge of integrating disaster recovery planning into their national DRR plans, UNDAFs, and other planning/programming instruments. R e s u l t s 6

11 Way Forward 27. UNISDR for the Americas has sought the services of a consultant to further enrich the module adapting more local cases and translation of materials from English to Spanish to scale up the workshop in countries of Central America. 28. Participants coming from universities agreed to discuss measures to promote academic courses relative to recovery planning. 29. Government representatives also expressed interest in integrating recovery concerns in development planning and how to discuss mechanisms of how to bring this interest down to the local levels as well as to other sector of the government that are engaged in recovery planning. 30. For continued partnerships, UNISDR for the Americas and IRP are discussing with CEPREDENAC options to facilitate effective modalities for strengthening the capacities of Central American states in recovery planning.

12 Annex 1: Note of Introduction UNISDR has been awarded with the EC project called "Strengthening Region based Capacities in Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning". The project aims globally at enabling high risk countries to establish the temporal link between preparedness, recovery and sustainable development by strengthening capacities for integrating DRR in disaster recovery planning (both pre- and post disaster) and programming. The key components of the project include: Overall Objective To reinforce the capabilities of national governments through the regional inter-governmental organizations and ISDR partners, in Disaster Recovery Planning so that most high risk countries could have a seamless access to such expertise within their respective regions and plan for a better integration of risk reduction concerns in all phases of the recovery process, building on the existing assessment of risks. Indicator: Each of the five regions (which include the sub-regions) of the world has at least one regional organisation which is able to provide technical support to its member states on disaster recovery planning either directly or through an established network of practitioners from national, regional and global levels Expected Result 1: Representatives of government bodies, National Platform members (including CSOs) and UNCTs in approximately 15 countries globally have the knowledge of integrating of disaster recovery planning into their national DRR plans, UNDAFs and other planning/programming instruments as relevant Expected Result 2: Guidelines developed for integration of DRR into Recovery planning PDNA process Sectorial guidance notes on recovery Monitoring and evaluation of recovery impact Under this component, the project will compile information on existing training material, adapt and translate for specific regional or country needs. Ensure that existing guidance on recovery planning, early assessment of sectoral needs, key experiences on institutional arrangements for recovery and implementation of recovery plans in sectors have integrated disaster risk reduction approaches and expertise are available. Recovery planning is a process that requires involvement of different organisational and sectoral partners. With the central and / or local government in the lead (subject to the scale of the process), it enlists the engagement of regional inter-governmental organisations, UN Country team, national platforms members (as available), the multi-lateral development banks and the European Union. Moreover, the expertise required from different development sectors like health, education, infrastructure, shelter, etc. expects the involvement of different government ministries, departments and sectoral leads from UN and the donor community.

13 The primary target group includes functionaries from government and regional organisations which would create a standby capacity at the regional level available to any high risk country desiring recovery planning support. The primary participants would be government officials who will be engaged in recovery planning - from the national platform, as well as from supporting Ministries, such as public works, health, education, etc. In addition, staff from local and city government as well as international and national agencies will be involved, linking with the Making Cities Resilient Campaign. National Platform members and donor community are also potential trainees. Key civil society organizations will also be engaged in the training. For example the Red Cross Red Crescent Societies and other community based actors play a critical role in the relief, rehabilitation and recovery. Engaging them will also enhance their capacities. For the national level trainings we propose a three day event, participants including those who wish to be trained in recovery planning, as well as who can serve on a roster of experts for deployment in the region if the need arises. They will serve as a reserve of recovery experts, both within the country as well as for possible overseas short term deployment, as required by the regional IGO. The training will empower the participants to draw upon global best practices for recovery and reconstruction. Have a look at Each workshop can engage up to 40 participants, all costs, including domestic travel of participants, training material, venue, equipment, resource persons, etc. will be covered. What we hope to achieve, in the very long term, is develop a mechanism for technical assistance to member states of the regional IGO for recovery planning. The mechanism will draw upon a roster of experts in select member states who may be deployed (1, 2-3 persons only) to a member state after a disaster to advise the government on recovery planning, in case the government desires such support. The experts will receive regular updates on the knowledge on recovery planning from IRP so the skills are upgraded. The IGO secretariat can play a coordinating role, with full technical support of IRP and UNISDR. A n n e x 1 : N o t e o f I n t r o d u c t i o n 9

31 Principles for ex-post Recovery Suggested Timeframe - 60 minutes in each workshop (generally two sectors) Scenario You are a member of a team constituted by the Government to plan the recovery of the area impacted by a disaster. Your specific task is to provide advice and suggest options for recovery. Your aim is to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive recovery, meeting the needs of all members of the community, including those often marginalized. The Government has stated the recovery will follow the principle of build back better, so the pre-existing vulnerabilities and risks are reduced. Exercise Instructions You have been briefed on a menu of options and the different approaches possible to tackle the challenges of recovery. Your team consists of engineers, technical specialists, finance and budget experts and community organizers. Your task in the team is to flag the key issues and the different approaches that can be adopted to address the challenges. Step 1: Nominate one person of the group as rapporteur who will note the points of discussion on the flipchart. A n n e x 7 : S c e n a r i o f o r G r o u p E x e r c i s e 27

32 Step 2: As a team discuss the issues, challenges and options for recovery, based on the information provided in the scenario. You can make assumptions as you go along, to fill in any information gaps, but be sure to mention the assumptions. Step 3: Based on the discussions, for each sector, draft the basic principles and guidance for a recovery plan. The plan may mention the key challenges, the basic approach to recovery and some of the options suggested. This document will form the input of the team to a policy paper on the sectoral recovery for the government. Step 4: One member of the team will present the findings to the plenary. Assume the Governor / political head of the province is attending the briefing. Other teams will cross question and all your team members are free to respond. Facts Province X has a total population of 1,190,000. Of this number, 590,000 are females and 600,000 are males. The province has approximately 490,000 children, not all of which are enrolled in schools. Age varies from 0 to 16 years. Of the population approximately 20% are seniors, aged more than 65 years. A total of 84,000 persons are permanently disabled. There are 220,000 families in the province. The province has been impacted by an earthquake of magnitude 7 Richter. The province is on the coast, with hills rising from the vicinity of the shoreline. The earthquake has triggered landslides, destroying some villages and parts of villages, as well as the communications roads and telephone at places. At certain points the landslides have blocked rivers, causing artificial dams which can burst anytime. The rubble from the landslides in the rivers has also caused floods in many villages and some urban centers. In the urban and industrial areas, the earthquake has resulted in leakage of gas and other chemicals, caused fires and released many industrial effluents onto the streets and flood waters. A minor tsunami hit part of the coast, destroying mangroves and forests, as well as a fishing village. Alternate scenario: The province was impacted by a typhoon making landfall along the coast line. The sea surge caused flooding up to 5 km. inland, as the land is low lying. Additionally, the heavy rainfall accompanying the typhoon raised water levels in the rivers, causing floods in the region. The heavy rainfall destabilized the soil in the hilly areas, causing landslides. In the urban and industrial areas the floods caused leakage of chemicals and effluents into the flood waters, polluting the residential and commercial areas. Note: It was noted by locals that the storm surge and flood levels have shown an increasing trend over the past few years. The response has been completed.
