Global Agenda’s - Shifting of focus from Reactive toProactive Approach Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 Priorities for action

1. Understanding disaster risk;
2. Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk;
3. Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience;

4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response, and to “Build Back Better” in recovery,rehabilitation and reconstruction.

National Catastrophic Model (NatCat) for NDRMF
Scope of Work••••

Development of Database and Web Application
Hydro-meteorological Hazard Assessment (Flood, Drought, Cyclone)
Geo-physical Hazard Assessment (Seismic)
Exposure of Landcover, Crops and Infrastructure to Hydro-meteorological and Geo-physicalHazards• Loss and Risk Assessment Model for Hydro-meteorological and Geo-physical Hazards• Integrated Risk Assessment
Project Significance• The risk modeling work will provide quantitative information on the expected levels ofloss for hazard events of varying types, intensities, and return periods• It will provide the basis for a national DRF strategy for Pakistan and pilot disaster risk
financing products

NatCat Model Overall Approach

Vulnerability

Complete Spatial Picture• NatCat Model will provide baseline data for exposure,vulnerability and loss assessment at Tehsil level
against 4 x natural disasters namely earthquake,flood, drought and cyclone• NatCat Model Risk Calculator will help in identificationof potential vulnerable population and infrastructure
against future events• Insurance industry will be able to assess losses for
estimation of premium via NatCat Model Risk
Calculator• NatCat Model will help in assessment ofreconstruction / rehabilitation cost
