3 Why flood among disasters? Earthquake Tsunami Storm Flood Drought Landslide Fire Blackout Accident Natural disaster forecastablity predictable (sometimes) occurrence after a time period longer than a human life We can research. Natural artificial artificial manytimes in a working We can forecastable disaster age (15 64) prepare. * Artificial disaster unforeseeable frequently We can alert. * People can analyze floods in the past and forecast floods in the future. Floods are calling for people to learn lessons and to transfer it to the next generations. People who could implement it could survive in the flood prone areas. Flood risk management was developed in the history to build a resilient society. That s why Japan survives on disaster prone islands in the Asia monsoon region. 5 Decrease of casualties 10,000 (Persons) Number of dead and missing 1, Ty yphoon Kath hleen To orrential Rain ns in So outhern Kii To oyamaru Typ hoon Ise ewan Typhoo on First Priority P lan for Social Infrastructure Development Ninth flood control (7 years) 10 Third First flood Second Fourth Fifth Sixth Seventh Eighth control (5 years) 1 (Year)

5 Disaster Risk Disaster risk: The potential disaster losses, in lives, health status, livelihoods, assets and services, which could occur to a particular communityorasocietyoversomespecified ifi future time period. Vulnerability: The characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or asset that make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard. Exposure: People, property, systems, or other elements present in hazard zones that are thereby subject to potential losses. Hazard: Adangerous phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. Construct of flood risk and its reduction Risk Sharing in Flood Management (WMO 2009) In order to reduce disaster risk, how to reduce vulnerability? How to reduce exposure? How to reduce Hazard? (2009 UNISDR Terminology on Disaster Risk Reduction) 9 Disaster Risk Management Disaster risk management: The systematic process in order to lessen the adverse impacts of hazards and the possibility bl of disaster through h activities and measures for prevention, mitigation and preparedness. Dis saster Response: The provision of emergency services and public assistance during a disaster. Recovery: The restoration of facilities, livelihoods and living conditions of communities. Preparedness Response Recovery Mitigation: The lessening or limitationit ti of the adverse impacts of disaster. Preparedness: The knowledge and capacities to effectively anticipate, respond to, and recover from, the impacts of likely disasters. Mitigation Disaster risk can be reduced as a result of people s effort in all of the disaster response, recovery, mitigation and preparedness. (2009 UNISDR Terminology on Disaster Risk Reduction) 10

Over 3,000 students evacuated further to higher ground by their own decision, as educated. However, the local economy was completely destroyed. Can we say this sustainable? 11 Disaster Risk Reduction & Climate Change Adaptation Vulnerability reduction through Community based Disaster Risk Mismanagement is quite effective for DRR. In response to climate change, however, disaster risk is getting more frequent and severe. Preparedness process becomes more important than before. We should focus on exposure reduction and hazard reduction.

10 Flowing water inspection River discharge and water quality are monitored to confirm safe and stable water use and environmental conservation. When oil is found, it will be immediately removed from the river. Preservation of water quality Measuring of flood flow velocity Chikugo River at drought 2005 Continuous monitoring and removal of oil Discharge observation at ordinary times. Flood discharge measurement for runoff analysis. Dam water release to resupply water for the downward cannel. 19 River zone management MLIT regularly monitor the condition of river zone to keep it in good order for residents safety and comfort. To protect the environment, MLIT organizes trash cleaning and extermination of alien species in coordination with local residents. Patrol/ Monitoring Care of local area Picking up trash and waterweed scouring Safe use Regular monitoring and CCTV observation to avoid illegal river use. Space management with riparian residents and local government. Clearing away trash and alien species removal. Safety inspection to prevent water accidents 20
11 Transaction with flood fighters In the Flood Fighting i Act, flood fighting i is dfi definedd as the responsibility of municipalities. ii lii Municipalities organize flood fighting teams of residents in the local communities to protect their lives. Residents are to engage in activities to prevent dyke breaches and minimizeflood damage.

19 Conclusions Repeat floods are a mainstream of disasters. Mainstreaming of disaster is how to reduce flood risks. For DRR and CCA, itisis important to reduce vulnerability, exposure and hazard. What we can do? We have good practices in vulnerability reduction. Now we should focus on exposure and hazard reduction. To make progress of them, an office of each river should play a key role. The river office should implement daily/monthly/yearly research. Do not say luck of fund but implement what it can do within the fund. That is the best way to save cost for disaster risk reduction in total. The government and the internationalsociety shoulddiscussdiscuss budget allocation. Provide research budget first to promote response and preparedness later. That is the best way to ensure the society to develop sustainably. Thank you very much for further discussion. 37
