Second Annual Mekong Flood Forum: Lessons from 2002 Lessons Learned A comprehensive strategic plan for disaster management must be developed by the national societies and integrated into the national disaster management framework. National societies needed to explore more possibilities for collaboration with other stakeholders operating within the riparian countries on regional policy formulation. Partnership among national societies and other regional entities must be strengthened through the regional cooperation framework There is a need to actively advocate at a wider scope the integration of preparedness and response into the development process. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Second Annual Mekong Flood Forum: Lessons from 2002 Lessons Learned Tasks and responsibilities between national disaster management committees and the national societies must be well-defined. Baseline data from hazard prone communities must updated regularly to compliment assessment reports undertaken during emergency situations. Early warning at the community level must utilize local and traditional practices / methods of relaying warning signals. Stakeholders at the national level involved in disaster management must use a common standard assessment and reporting template as a move towards a systematic information management. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Second Annual Mekong Flood Forum: Lessons from 2002 Lessons Learned Technical and academic terms must be translated into simple laymen language to allow the community to assimilate and easier understanding of global issues which affects them. HVC assessment process must be analyze from the context of the community, external actors must only facilitate and not influence the process. Community organizing must be a prerequisite for establishing community structural mitigation projects to ensure community participation in the management and maintenance of these projects. Work with the community and not for the community. International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Second Annual Mekong Flood Forum: Lessons from 2002 Ways Forward Work towards self reliance and sustainability of programming.

Ensure that the knowledge from prediction and early warning systems can be accessed, understood and acted upon by local communities International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Second Annual Mekong Flood Forum: Lessons from 2002 Ways Forward Improve the ability of vulnerable communities to cope with disasters through community-based disaster preparedness strategies that build on existing structures, practices, skills and coping mechanisms. Respect and utilize indigenous knowledge of the community to enhance appropriateness of community based disaster management programs.
