1. Disaster Prevention and Early Recovery in Central Asia Program status, strengthening and potential next steps Maxx Dilley Chief, Disaster Reduction and Recovery Team Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery

2. Outline Challenges in identifying and managing risks associated with natural hazards UNDP Disaster Reduction and Recovery Program Program strengthening measures from UNDP practice Available resources

3. Hazard-related outcomes Major natural hazards in Central Asia and the Caucasus – drought, floods, extreme temperatures, landslides and earthquakes Consequences (disaster event) = hazard exposure x vulnerability Non-natural hazards – land mines – global financial crises, food price increases

4. Hazard-related outcomes Drought

5. Hazard-related outcomes Drought → water

6. Hazard-related outcomes Drought → water → energy

7. Hazard-related outcomes Cold ↓ Drought → water → energy →

8. Hazard-related outcomes Cold ↓ Drought → water → energy →Home/ School Heating

9. Hazard related outcomes Drought

10. Hazard related outcomes Drought → water

11. Hazard related outcomes Drought → water → energy prices

12. Hazard related outcomes? Food prices ↓ Drought → water → energy prices → ↑ Reduced Remittances

13. Hazard related outcomes? Food prices ↓ Drought → water → energy Food prices → Insecurity ↑ Reduced Remittances
