BACKGROUND DR plays an important role in supporting the Haitian government in terms of response to the Jan 2010 earthquake The Haiti earthquake demonstrated the high degree of physical and social vulnerability of the island to seismic events There has been accelerated urban growth in recent years in the main cities in the DR, with a tendency to construct buildings with adequate techniques. The earthquakes of Chile and Japan further pushed the need to conduct an analysis of the situation in the DR with respect to seismic risk and the real possibility of suffering from an earthquake of greater magnitude. Policy decision to address the issues and orient efforts to reduction of risk in the DR. The DR government requested the support of UNDP, in the process of identifying action lines and strategies for seismic risk reduction.
CAPACITY FOR LEARN THE LESSONS
Vulnerabiity Reduction Construction with standards of security
In the DR, there was a large earthquake in 1946 with a 8.1 magnitude; in addition, there have been seismic movement which has affected the population in 1562, 1615, 1673, 1691, 1751, 1761, 1842, 1897 and 1946 On Sept 22nd 2003 there was an earthquake of magnitude 6.5, with a depth of 10 km, located 20 km north of Santiago de Los Cabelleros and 15 km south of Puerto Plata.
THE PROCESS In Feb 2010, by mandate of the President of the Republic then Dr. Dr. Leonel Fernández Reyna and under the instructions of the Minister of Economy, Planning and Development Juan Temístocles Montás the Department of Land Use Planning and Development initiated a process of analysis and institutional consultations to define strategic areas of action to reduce seismic risk.
Cont d The Department has the role as coordinating inter sectorally and inter institutionally the different levels of public administration and private entities at the municipal, provincial, regional and sectoral levels. (Law 496 06) In March 2010 two committees were convened for the analysis and discussion of proposals related to seismic risk reduction 1) the identification of short term actions 2) the development of a plan to reduce risk over medium and long term

APRENDER THE PROCESS LAS IN LECCIONES STATISTICS Institutional meetings and working sessions: 47 Workshops and Awareness/Dissemination Sessions: 8 Participating Institutions in the process: 45 Representatives of ministries, government bodies, decentralized institutions, technical and research bodies, universities, municipal associations, response units, donors, service companies, professional associations etc. Estimated Hours of Work: 751 Days of Work: 94
DEFINITION OF THE PLAN The Seismic Risk Reduction Plan is understood as a set of political and technical guidelines that aim to provide strategic orientation to the authorities, institutions at all territorial levels and civil society in general, to reduce risk factors related to seismic hazards and promote the improvement of capacity in the areas of prevention, mitigation, response and recovery, as well as resilience in potentially affected communities.
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN Strengthen and improve the capacity of the National System for Prevention, Mitigation and Response, and their respective coordination and execution units. Create an enabling environment so government investments are safe and sustainable Promote mechanisms to use of standards in territorial planning and structure and infrastructure constructions that is in accordance with the characteristics of the zone. Reduce the financial vulnerability of the state from the need to invest considerable resources in disaster recovery and reconstruction process.
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN Avoid the loss of human life in the event of an earthquake Reduce the maximum impact of an earthquake on critical infrastructure and guarantee that said infrastructure will function in a crisis. Ensure governance processes of the state in situations of disasters Reduce economic loss from possible destruction of structures and infrastructure. Improve community resilience to respond and recover.
LINKS The National Plan for Seismic Risk Reduction is aligned with the National Plan for Prevention, Mitigation and Response to disasters (Law 147/02) The National Plan for Emergencies and the National Earthquake Contingency Plan It supports elements of the National Strategy for Development 2030, in strategy lines 4, with respect to the development of an effective national system for comprehensive risk management, incorporating the active participation of communities.

Strategies for the Implementaiton o of the National Plan for Seismic Risk Reduction
HOW IS IT Plan ORGANIZED Nacional de Reducción de Riesgo Sísmico Strategy for awareness building, outreach and institutional engagement Strategy to plan for and incorporate risk Strategy for financial management Strategy for capacity development Strategy for implementation and monitoring
Progess of Implementation Strategy for awareness building, outreach and institutional engagement Comprehensive Risk Reduction is considered a cross cutting theme in the National Development Strategy Formal presentation of the National Seismic Risk Reduction Plan, at the institutional level, communication/media and Dominican society Promulgate the Decree 275 13, which enables the implementation of the Plans
Progress of Implementation Strategy to plan for and incorporate risk The technical norms of the SNIP contain areas for incorporating comprehensive risk management. Will develop a Safety Plan for the Reservoirs In Process: Development of a National Policy on Safe Hospitals Conducted a study on seismic micro zonification in Santiago de los Caballeros, which helped modify the design of the POT. Have initiated a Study of the Seismic Micro zonification in the greater Santo Domingo (includes 3 municipalities of San Cristobal).
Progress in Implementation. Strategy to plan for and incorporate risk (cont d) Update Norms and Regulations for seismic resistant construction Use a Safe Hospitals Index in priority hospitals. Begin to use Safe Schools Index in selected schools (pilot project in Azua) In the process of developing norms for the design and construction of hospital facilities. Guide for the construction of safe schools. Municipal ordinances for the regulation of construction with respect to the new seismic resistance building code. Improve the Safety Index in hospitals deemed in critical state Evaluate the vulnerabilities of school facilities forretrofitting/reinforcement
Progress in Implementation Strategy for financial management National Fund for Prevention, Mitigation and Response in place Build awareness in the key actors responsible for designation of budget resources Mobilization and management of resources from International Cooperation actors to conduct seismic microzonification studies
Progress in Implementation Strategy for capacity development Diploma in Seismic Resistant Construction for architects and engineers (UASD). Develop training material for master builders in seismic resistant construction Train more than 300 master builders, at a local level (Puerto Plata and Azua). Master in Seismic Engineering for engineering professionals (in Japan)
Progress in Implementation Strategy for implementation and monitoring Implementation of local pilot projects (Puerto Plata and Azua) Improving Safety Index for hospitals in critical state Rapid Visual Assessment of critical infrastructure to identify seismic vulnerabilities. Assess vulnerability of school facilities for retrofitting/re enforcement.
Challenges Dissemination of Decree 275-13 for the devleopment of institutional plans of G (including Seismic Risk Reduction) Involvement and committment at the political level for decision making to enable the implementation of the plan, including ear marking from the national budget Establish the channels for action for the various strategic goals set in the Plan and the public projects that are being implemented in the territory Ensure the involvement of different institutional and social actors in the implementation process Establish routes that will achieve the strategic objectives set forth in the plan.
