Info

In its prevention activities, CONRED promotes research designed to improve the understanding of risks. Also, it coordinates risk-reduction programs and provides training in that field. It is also responsible for declaring high-risk zones. When an emergency arises, CONRED (a) activates the Emergency Operations Center (Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia, COE), (b) activates the inter-agency liaison system; (c) advises the President of the Republic regarding the declaration of disaster areas; (d) coordinates and supervises the response to the emergency; and (e) keeps the public informed of the situation. During the reconstruction phase, it coordinates the programs and distribution of international cooperation aid. In 2005, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food published its “Thematic Atlas of Watersheds in the Republic of Guatemala,” while the National Climate Change Program of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources produced studies on climate change, with the support of the Netherlands Climate Assistance Program (Programa de asistencia climática de los Países Bajos, NCAP) and technical assistance from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and the United States. 4.2 Legal and Institutional Framework In 1996, a legislative decree established the National Coordination for Disaster Reduction (Coordinadora Nacional para la Reducción de Desastres, CONRED), which formed part of the Coordination for Natural Disaster Prevention in Central America (Centro de Coordinación para la Prevención de los Desastres Naturales en América Central, CEPREDENAC), founded in 1993. CONRED includes the National Council for Disaster Reduction, which is made up of public sector, autonomous and private sector entities; a board and an executive secretariat; and regional, departmental, municipal and local coordination offices (Figure 6.2). When designing its programs, CONRED relies on technical information produced by Guatemala’s National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology & Hydrology (Instituto Nacional de Sismología, Vulcanología, Meteorología e Hidrología de Guatemala, INSIVUMEH), which was strengthened after the 1976 earthquake. Another major advance was the 2001 Law on Social Development and Human Settlement, which contained two disaster risk-management mandates: One for identifying risk reduction strategies and the other for fostering disaster preparedness in the population. In March 2009, Guatemala established a National Dialogue Table on disaster risk-reduction to strengthen sectoral efforts on this topic. Under the political leadership of the Vice President of the Republic and the technical coordination of CONRED’s Executive Secretariat, the National Dialogue Table aims to achieve multi-sectoral coordination for the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 and other public policies, such as the regional program for prevention, mitigation and response 2009-2011. It has been recognized as the National Platform for risk reduction along with the Coordination Center for National Disaster in Central America (Centro de Coordinación para la Prevención de los Desastres Naturales en América Cental – CEPREDENAC). 88 Preventive Resettlement of Populations at Risk of Disaster: Experiences from Latin America
