Strengthen Relief and Emergency Management at the Local Level Disaster-prone areas need to optimize their logistical support, prior to a high-risk season. The 2009 disaster has given local authorities a plethora of donated tents and blankets, while other essential emergency items (such as boats) continue to be scarce. Based on this experience, local authorities should compile an optimized list of logistical support facilities: the type of equipment and goods needed for the next emergency (considering that the next time it might be a drought, or a wildfire); their optimal location and storage needs; how to procure and distribute food; how to transport people and goods; whether to hold humanitarian assistance in warehouses for the season or procure it locally, etc. The budget for logistical support and the corresponding plan should be an integral part of the local disaster contingency plans.

7.3 On-going interventions While the PDNA process was ongoing, the Government, in particular the OPM, in collaboration with national stakeholders undertook a flood lessons-learned workshop to consolidate on the good practices and to revisit recommendations made following the 2008 flood disaster. The workshop also took stock of progress made to address some of the fundamental factors that contributed to flood vulnerability to analyze the performance of the national disaster risk management system. A Flood Preparedness, Response and Mitigation Action Plan 2010 (see Annex 13) was drawn up by stakeholders who participated at the lessons-learned workshop including the Regional Governors of the six affected Regions. The action plan further reinforces the PDNA findings and recommendations. Availability of risk flood mapping is a priority in all phases of the disaster cycle management as it is required for preparedness, early warning and response for flood disaster situations and for long-term land use planning. The Department of Water Affairs, MAWF has already made concrete plans to proceed with the required activities that would include the required hydrological analyses, terrain surveys and digital terrain model generation, hydraulic analyses and satellite remote sensing flood mapping to derive flood hazard mapping, and community involvement and socio-economic data collection for flood vulnerability mapping. Funds have been requested and allocated, both on operational and development budgets, but additional resources need to be solicited for the lidar survey mapping of the large flood-risk areas involved. 58 Namibia POST-DISASTER NEEDS ASSESSMENT
