Table 2 Questions to be asked while integrating climate change concerns into disaster risk<br />

Stage in <strong>Disaster</strong><br />

Management Cycle<br />

Questions to be asked<br />

1 <strong>Disaster</strong> Event Is this disaster a regular feature in that location?<br />

Is there a shift in disaster profile of the region?<br />

Has there been a shift in the intensity <strong>and</strong> magnitude of the<br />

disaster?<br />

Was there any change in the nature of impacts that reflected a<br />

change in local vulnerabilities?<br />

Has there been any change in the impacts?<br />

Were the vulnerabilities <strong>and</strong> risks changed from previous<br />

disaster events of similar intensity <strong>and</strong> magnitude?<br />

2 Relief phase Is the previously planned relief preparedness sufficient?<br />

3 Rehabilitation <strong>and</strong><br />

reconstruction<br />

What are the gaps in capacities at this phase?<br />

Does the rehabilitation <strong>and</strong> reconstruction requirements are<br />

growing continuously?<br />

What is the rate of such increments?<br />

How such rehabilitation investments could be met in future?<br />

What are gaps in capacities at this phase?<br />

Does the increased needs correspond to the risks?<br />

4 Mitigation What are the climate vulnerabilities of the region?<br />

What mitigation measures worked <strong>and</strong> what measures didn’t<br />

work in the light of increasing intensities of disasters?<br />

Are the mitigation measures increasingly becoming<br />

inadequate?
