No
Definition
Post disasters plans or systems, strategies, frameworks that are set in place to address the needs of the general public that are affected by any disasters, either be natural or man-made disasters.
The indicator focuses on the number of plans that the responsible institutions like the National Disaster Management office (NDMO), humanitarian responses teams and other NGO’s through the government have available for coordination and preparedness for response and recovery to support communities after disaster strike
Concept
Post disaster support programmes, strategies, frameworks and plans developed in place by the NDMO and other humanitarian response teams like Red cross Vanuatu, Oxfam, to support communities after a disaster (man-made and natural disasters).
There are two basic approaches in the post-disaster reconstruction which comprise of the ‘technology-based approach’ and ‘community-based approach’ [2]. Technology-based approaches are usually supported by a provider policy, with dependence on the import of dwellings from the developed donor countries. Community-based approach in the post-disaster reconstruction promotes and depends on public participation in reconstruction that helps build self-reliance into the affected communities and attempts to take advantage of the local resources in a long-term development. Implementations with this approach are sensitive to the needs of the community and do not ignore the social aspects of the process.
Rationale
Indicates how the responsible government institutions (NDMO, VMDG, Climate Change Office) are ready and prepared to respond to any natural and man – made disasters that may arise in the future.
