How do you align emergency planning with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Emergency planning is not only about responding to disasters, but also about reducing their impact and preventing them from happening in the first place. This is where the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) come in. These are two global agendas that aim to make the world more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable by 2030. But how do you align your emergency planning with these goals and framework? Here are some tips to help you.

1 Understand the linkages

The SDGs and the SFDRR are closely related and mutually reinforcing. They both address the root causes and drivers of disaster risk, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation. They also share common principles and targets, such as reducing disaster mortality, enhancing adaptive capacity, and strengthening governance and partnerships. By understanding the linkages between the two agendas, you can identify synergies and opportunities for integration in your emergency planning.

To align emergency planning with the SDGs and the Sendai Framework, first understand how planning supports these goals and priorities. Assess local risks, resources, and vulnerabilities, then set clear objectives and metrics. Develop and implement strategies that integrate risk reduction and resilience. Engage community members and relevant agencies, ensuring inclusivity for vulnerable populations. Regularly review and adapt plans based on feedback and new insights to improve resilience and sustainability.

The first step should be to read the Sendai Framework for DRR (SFDRR), especially the goals and principles, and identify how the SFDRR relates to existing plans and operations. Most EM professionals will note the extensive overlap between the SFDRR and FEMA best practices including the importance of understanding risk and including all relevant stakeholders in planning processes. SFDRR encompasses a wide range of activities that transcend typical EM work however emergency managers can be instrumental in connecting people and organizations and being vocal advocates for SFDRR and help to steer the adoption of a DRR mindset in their organization and community.

2 Assess your risks and capacities

To align your emergency planning with the SDGs and the SFDRR, you need to have a comprehensive and updated assessment of your risks and capacities. This means analyzing the hazards, vulnerabilities, and exposure of your community or organization, as well as the resources, skills, and networks that you can leverage in times of crisis. You can use various tools and methods, such as risk mapping, scenario planning, and stakeholder analysis, to conduct your assessment. This will help you prioritize your actions and allocate your resources more effectively.

Both the Sendai Framework and the FEMA National Mitigation Framework recommend a detailed risk assessment as a foundational element of emergency management activities in communities. Taking the time to completely document and understand the risks, threats, and capabilities a community is exposed to provides a basis for mitigation work and can inform many types of projects across a spectrum of stakeholders and may be a prerequisite for many grant funding opportunities. As we enter this era of increasing frequency and exposure to hazards, developing and maintaining a catalog of hazards, threats, and capabilities can provide the basis for a data-driven approach to building more resilient communities.

3 Set your objectives and indicators

Based on your risk and capacity assessment, you can set your objectives and indicators for your emergency planning. These should be aligned with the goals and targets of the SDGs and the SFDRR, as well as the specific needs and context of your community or organization. For example, you can aim to reduce the number of people affected by disasters, increase the access to early warning systems, or improve the coordination and collaboration among different actors. You can also use the indicators and data sources provided by the SDGs and the SFDRR to monitor and evaluate your progress and performance.

4 Implement your actions and strategies

Once you have your objectives and indicators, you can implement your actions and strategies for your emergency planning. These should be based on the best practices and principles of disaster risk reduction and sustainable development, such as participation, inclusion, innovation, and coherence. You can use various approaches and tools, such as contingency planning, preparedness training, risk communication, and resilience building, to execute your actions and strategies. You should also seek to engage and partner with different stakeholders, such as local authorities, civil society, private sector, and international organizations, to enhance your effectiveness and impact.

Many risk reduction strategies will require the participation of numerous organizations or agencies to implement and it is essential to think about implementation from the beginning of the project. Engage with partners early and often to understand their needs and get early warning of any implementation challenges which may appear in the implementation project phase.

5 Review and learn from your experiences

The last step to align your emergency planning with the SDGs and the SFDRR is to review and learn from your experiences. This means collecting and analyzing feedback and data from your actions and strategies, as well as from the disasters that you face or avoid. You can use various techniques and methods, such as after-action reviews, lessons learned workshops, and case studies, to capture and share your learning. This will help you improve your emergency planning, as well as contribute to the global knowledge and evidence base on disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.
