Dear All, It is good to have you here in this workshop that addresses fundamental questions on how to build and keep alive Early Warning Systems in Central America and the Caribbean. It is easy to say we are going to build such a system but it is, of course, rather difficult to do. Not long ago, here in Panama, we pledged to help organize this workshop and we are moving forward in a sound and steady fashion. It is certainly very important that we make sure that work in this area reflects the current know-how on human-centered early warning systems. Community participation in designing and implementing such systems must be a priority in several phases and components during the building of sustainable systems. Most of us know this, but most of us also know that this rather common-sense idea is seldom carried out in practice. We also know that if we dont work with the right actors in a true participatory fashion, then it will be difficult to have useful and sustainable systems or programs. We therefore hope that this workgroup will help to define how and where to work with all the required actors and how to ensure that strategic planning methods and participatory processes are a central part of our work in helping to achieve community preparedness. UNISDR can help in this endeavor in several ways: We can lobby with National Platforms in countries to pay more attention to Early Warning and sure that actions in this regard conform to new insights, while stimulating national authorities to use approaches that are based on participatory methodologies in those components where needed. Together with other institutions, ISDR can help foster training programs in community based preparedness. In facilitating the transfer of technology as well as follow-up with governments and academic institutions that can help to make human-centered early warning a reality. We can also provide good information materials and examples on public awareness, work with media, and more. In this workshop, a lot of emphasis is placed on best practices. Naturally, here but also in many other technical cooperation endeavors and programs, the input for preparing our portfolio of best practices examples will com from several sources, including consultants views, reports of implementing organizations, governments and so on. However, it is not often the case that experiences with what we like to call best practices, are actually collected in a systematic and methodologically sound participatory scheme from those who are the intended final beneficiaries at community level. I have no doubt that our work here together will help to resolve many issues and provide new guidelines for the future. ISDR will be your partner in this. Thank you. DAVE ZEERVAS EIRD About UN/ISDR Who We Are & What We Do Who we are The International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) is a strategy adopted by United Nations member states and owned by local, national, regional and international organizations. The ISDR system is a partnership composed of governments, UN, international and non-governmental organizations, international financial institutions, academic and research institutes, networks and civil society all of which have essential roles to play in disaster risk reduction. ISDR has a UN inter-agency secretariat (UN/ISDR) which has the mandate to facilitate, coordinate, promote and strengthen disaster risk reduction initiatives and partnerships on a global, regional, national and local level. It seeks to share knowledge and practical tools to increase communities and countries resilience to disaster risk with aim of saving lives and livelihoods from the impact of natural hazards. The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA)- the key instrument for implementing disaster risk reduction, adopted by the UN member states- constitutes the basis of these efforts. The UN/ISDR headquarters is based in Geneva, Switzerland, with a liaison office in New York and an Early Warning Platform in Bonn, Germany. It works through regional offices in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe. What we do We build and support partnership and networks with development and humanitarian actors worldwide, including governments, international organizations, NGOs, civil society and the private sector, with the aim of strengthening efforts to reduce peoples vulnerability to the impact of hazards by providing them with knowledge and skills. We advocate for governments commitment to assume responsibility and take action to prevent disasters and to be prepared when they happen. We promote the integration of disaster reduction policies and legislation into sustainable development planning. In order to achieve this aim, we promote the establishment of national, regional and thematic platforms on disaster risk reduction which bring together government and civil society actors, scientists and development and emergency response personnel to elaborate disaster risk reduction policies, laws and practices. We inform people- by producing information and education materials as well as promoting scientific research on disaster risk reduction. Knowledge empowers people to take decisions and action. Our publications provide guidance on how to implement disaster risk reduction strategies, contain protection and preparedness measures, and reflect local, traditional knowledge on early warning. We make information on disaster reduction available to a broad public by providing interactive information tools such as PreventionWeb, an Internet portal on disaster risk reduction that is shared and nurtured by the disaster reduction community worldwide. We communicate with all stakeholders in society that are concerned with disaster prevention. We work with journalists to raise awareness of the importance of disaster prevention often neglected by the media in the light of the aftermath of hazards. We reach out to communities that are potentially at risk from the impact of natural hazards by communicating messages on disaster prevention at a local level. We campaign, together we partners, to build awareness on disaster risk reduction and reduce communities vulnerability to the impact of hazards; with the aim to strengthen disaster risk reduction policies and to influence decision- makers - and societys attitudes towards dealing with disaster risk. We promote the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) a set of guidelines, adopted by 168 countries worldwide, on how to integrate disaster risk reduction policies into national development agendas. We work to build a common understanding of the HFA and to make its priorities of mitigating the impact of natural hazards and reducing vulnerability a political and socioeconomic reality. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) key messages Natural hazards do not have to result in disasters. Social conditions shaped by humans such as poverty and inequity increase peoples vulnerability to hazards. Disaster do not only cause immediate human suffering and destruction but impede long term development by keeping people trapped in a vicious spiral of poverty. DRR is about saving lives and livelihoods by changing peoples mindsets. It is about shifting from response to prevention and reducing communities vulnerability. People have a right to live in safety and with dignity. It is states responsibility to protect their citizens. Hence it is vital that DRR policies are systematically integrated into sustainable development strategies. Health and education are essential for reducing societiesvulnerability. Governments have a responsibility to provide for these services and thus make communities more resilient to disasters. Information can be life-saving. If alarm bells are rung before disaster strikes human loss can be avoided. Effective early warning systems need to be put in place to mitigate the impact of hazards. Educate to build a culture of prevention. People need to be provided with knowledge, skills and resources in order to be able to protect themselves from disaster risk. A safe and healthy environment is vital. It is government responsibility to provide for a sound infrastructure, and everybodys to care for a healthy environment. Communities need to be enabled to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. Be prepared when disaster strikes. People need to be equipped with the necessary skills resources in order to be able to respond effectively to disasters to save lives. Old things can be priceless like communities traditional knowledge about early warning on natural hazards.     , 4 l!"Ⱥ~pbTFbF4#hil~hF25OJQJ^JmH sH hF2OJQJ^JmH sH hI ]OJQJ^JmH sH h'OJQJ^JmH sH hnMxOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~ho5OJQJ^JmH sH hoOJQJ^JmH sH hqOJQJ^JmH sH hR9OOJQJ^JmH sH h%OJQJ^JmH sH  h%h%OJQJ^JmH sH h%OJQJ^Jhil~h 5OJQJ^Jhil~h%5OJQJ^J     , - MNcd"#$a$gd' $ & Fa$gd'$a$gdR9O/*#$a$gd'  /0< @[8ykk]k]K]=hjOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hs5OJQJ^JmH sH hsOJQJ^JmH sH hO`OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hF25OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hO`5OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hepV5OJQJ^JmH sH #hjhF2H*OJQJ^JmH sH hF2OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hw5OJQJ^JmH sH hw5OJQJ^JmH sH hF25OJQJ^JmH sH  01<=$a$gd'\]5678CDQRO!!"!""""""# $ & Fa$gd6J$a$gd'8r6>[= Q`X ! !!!°¢pbPbBbBbh ;JOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h%,5OJQJ^JmH sH h%,OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hP5OJQJ^JmH sH hPOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h 5OJQJ^JmH sH h OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h@5OJQJ^JmH sH h@OJQJ^JmH sH hjH*OJQJ^JmH sH hjOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hj5OJQJ^JmH sH !!"!g!""""##.#j#r##########0$1$2${$$$%%-%%%%%%%J&βΠrrrdrrdrdh]Y{OJQJ^JmH sH hOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h5OJQJ^JmH sH hNsOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hNs5OJQJ^JmH sH h6JOJQJ^JmH sH hil~OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h6J5OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h ;J5OJQJ^JmH sH h ;JOJQJ^JmH sH $#####1$2$$$$%%%%x&y&?'@'A''' $ & Fa$gdil~ $ & Fa$gd]Y{ $^a$gd]Y{ $ & Fa$gd$a$gdil~ $ & Fa$gd6J $h^ha$gdil~J&x&y&&&'?'A'i'''''(T((()?)@)))))))!*#*%*&*'*(*ѱ߱ߍߍqcUh OJQJ^JmH sH hPOJQJ^JmH sH h%,OJQJ^JmH sH h ;JOJQJ^JmH sH #h*hil~5OJQJ^JmH sH #h*hN5OJQJ^JmH sH hNOJQJ^JmH sH #hil~hil~5OJQJ^JmH sH h]Y{OJQJ^JmH sH hil~OJQJ^JmH sH #hil~h]Y{5OJQJ^JmH sH ''((+)))))!*#*$*%*)*+*,*/*$a$gd' $^a$gdil~ $ & Fa$gdil~$a$gdil~(*)*+*,*-*.*/*ŷ h%h%OJQJ^JmH sH h%OJQJ^JmH sH hR9OOJQJ^JmH sH h'OJQJ^JmH sH hsOJQJ^JmH sH  hjh OJQJ^JmH sH ,1h.
