2. BACKGROUND:  Women 50% of population  Under-aged boy and male elderly 23%  Disaster impacted women differently  Many studies, reports, analysis recommend gender to be integrated into disaster management, but not yet  Why

3. The Study  To identify gender integration into disaster management:  Review of Policy Documents  Field study  Study was conducted in Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines in 2008  Earth Quake, Vulcano, Typhoon and tsunami areas

4. Result - Gender has not been or very limitedly integrated or considered in disaster management. - Policy documents did not nor clearly stipulated gender - Reason: Lacking of knowledge on gender issues among policy makers, managers and operations officers and do not know how to integrate gender  NO DATA DISAGGREGATED BY SEX, AGE AND VULNERABILITY, no sufficient Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment

5. Identified issues: Emergency phase: -Pregnant and lactating mothers -Babies elderly and disabled -No Baby food, milk, clothing -Reproductive health -Unsafe shelter -Sexual harassment and violence -Ignored rights due to adminstrative mechanism

6. Rehab and reconstruction:  Rights to possession of asset and land  Previous livelihood ignored  Emergence of social class  Exclusion from decision making Preparedness and mitigation :  Exclusion from capacity bulding  Least exposed to information  STRENGTH:  CAPACITY TO BUILD NETWORK, EDUCATION, INFORMATION CHANNEL, IDENTIFICATION OF ISSUES AND NEEDS, LOCAL WISDOM Note : the center is the core of information delivery, to the edge, less information received

7. RECOMMENDATION: - BUILDING AWARENESS ON GENDER IN DISASTER - BUILDING CAPACITY TO INTEGRATE GENDER - CONSUL THE COMMUNITY IN POLICY FORMULATION - MAKE AVAILABLE DATA BY SEX, AGE, VULNERABILITY AND CAPACITY - INTEGRATE GENDER INTO ALL PHASES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT AT ALL LEVEL
