2 What is failure knowledge? Disciplines using failure knowledge Use in disaster recovery Theory Practice: 2 Cases 2
3 knowledge or understanding emerging from a systematic analysis of failure Ex-ante failure knowledge Testing an experimental design or system until it fails, then improving design/system to avoid future failure Ex-post failure knowledge Investigating accidental failure, then improving design or system 3
4 Aviation industry (ex-post) steady and consistent advances based on the meticulous and painstaking analysis that goes into understanding the crash of an airliner (Cannon and Edmondson 2005, 306). 4

10 knowledge or understanding emerging from a systematic analysis of failure Ex-ante failure knowledge Testing an experimental design or system until it fails, then improving design/system to avoid future failure Ex-post failure knowledge Investigating accidental failure, then improving design or system PROBLEM: Generally unadvisable to stage an intentional social failure Failure knowledge in social sciences usually learning after unintentional failure (ex-post) 10
11 Disasters: confluence of hazardous potential (e.g. flooding) & human vulnerability (e.g. living in a floodplain) Failure knowledge: reduce hazard potential reduce human vulnerability increase resilience in the face of disaster 11
12 Pre- Disaster: Mitigation & planning Hazard mapping Regional planning Land use planning & zoning Risk assessment Vulnerability assessment Insurance Incentives & penalties Protection structures Public education Does failure Challenges knowledge & opportunities? inform recovery? Emergency preparedness plan Recovery: Decrease vuln. Re-plan & DRR Rebuild Rehabilitation Debris removal Public services (water, elect) Housing Reconnect families Relocate Relief: Search/Rescue Medical Psychological Food aid Shelter Post- Disaster: Recovery Disaster 12
13 Challenges: Chaotic environment Time pressure Simultaneous relief/rehabilitation/reconstruction Multiple institutions & multiple agendas Disaster profiteering Resistance: slow down & plan properly Opportunities Aid $ Coordinating body(ies) New disaster recovery paradigm (2005 ) 13
14 North Vargas State, Venezuela debris flows (30-50,000 people est. killed); Banda Aceh, Indonesia tsunami (80,000 est. killed) 14
15 o 900mm of rain in 24 hrs o Simultaneous debris flows in 26 watersheds o 30-50,000 killed olargest debris flow disaster in recent global history 15
16 Case #1: Failure Knowledge, Disaster Causes Rainfall Settlement(s) location: Alluvial fans No watershed monitoring Lack of hazard-oriented zoning No warning/evacuation system Lack of public awareness of risk No history of recent debris flows Ineffective physical protection structures 16
17 Case #1: Disaster Recovery Little to no evidence failure knowledge influenced recovery Recovery Philosophy: Rebuild largely as before (1999) Physical protection structures Far too small Monitoring/warning/evacuation system Largely absent 9 years after disaster (one siren, one community) Public awareness Initially high, but fading no evidence of community awareness or preparedness exercises Zoning: unchanged post-disaster 17
18 High water mark Evidence: massive flow volumes 18

27 Case #1: Disaster Recovery Significant evidence failure knowledge recovery Recovery Philosophy: Build Back Better Tsunami-resistant housing + relocation villages Comprehensive monitoring, warning & evacuation system Commitment to learning/failure knowledge Public awareness & Evacuation preparedness 27
