Task 4: Facilitate forum session 1

Steps in Task 4

  1. Introduction
  2. Hazard scenario review
  3. Recovery planning description
  4. Issue identification exercise
  5. Closing remarks

Task 4 is actually the first session of the forum. The following topics are usually addressed at the first session: introduction, hazard scenario review, recovery planning description, and issue identification exercise. The session starts with an introduction to the purpose of the forum and the issues it is addressing. The hazard scenario review familiarizes participants with local physical vulnerability (i.e., hazard exposure). The recovery planning description clarifies the goals of the post-disaster recovery plan; that is, the recovery plan is not about search, rescue, and water/food supplied shortly after the disaster (which we know is referred to as response), but is about long-term goals and projects. Recovery is also about going back to normal or going to a new, more disaster-resilient state. Finally, the issue identification exercise asks participants, after careful consideration, to prioritize issues for various recovery themes. The forum organizing team leads the various discussions and summarizes them – especially the key issues identified in the issue identification exercise.
