- 23. Key Stakeholders in DM Central Committee for Floods and Storms Control (CCFSC) National Committee for Search and Rescue Disaster Management Center/DDMFSC/MARD Dept. of Irrigation/MARD Natural Disaster Management Partnership (NDMP) National Hydro-Meteorological Center/MONRE United Nations Development Program (UNDP) PACCOM VNRC/IFRC World Vision Viet Nam Save the Children Oxfam Hong Kong & GB Others (ActionAid, CARE Int’l., CECI, Catholic Relief Service, AusAID, EC, etc.) Communities
- 24. Functions of Key Stakeholders in DM - Government Organizations CCFSC - Lead and coordinate during disaster events National Committee for Search and Rescue - Search and rescue victims and transportation means during disasters National Hydro-Meteorological Center - Provide short, medium and long term weather forecasts and bulletins in land and on sea to the whole country DMC - DM advisory role for DDMFSC/MARD on response measures in term of warning and disaster mitigation and Development of DM legal documents, incl. DM Strategy.
- 25. Functions of Key Stakeholders in DM – Government Organizations Department of Irrigation - Advise the Government and provinces on prevention, control and mitigation of drought, water-logging, inundation and salt water intrusion, among other functions; NDMP - Managing and sharing information for improved coordination in natural disaster mitigation; Providing advice for the government on legislation, policies and strategies on NDRM; PACCOM – Facilitate INGO works in Vietnam, and mobilize relief assistance from INGOs
- 26. Functions of Key Stakeholders in DM International Organizations UNDP – (i) Disaster risk management; (ii) Mitigation through information; (iii) Building partnerships for disaster mitigation; and (iv) Coordination of emergency relief; UNICEF – (i) Child protection in emergency; (ii) Water/sanitation programs; WB – (i) prevention and mitigation (ii) community based disaster management (iii) contingency funding for reconstruction and recovery of priority infrastructure (iv) institutional strengthening and capacity building to ensure better coordination in DM
- 27. Functions of Key Stakeholders in DM Non Government Organizations VNRC/IFRC – (i) Training on disaster responding skills; (ii) Communication in community; (iii) Construction of disaster preparedness and response centers; (iv) Mangrove forestation and (v) Relief goods distributions ; World Vision in Vietnam - Emergency relief; Disaster mitigation; Mainstreaming and integrating CBDRR into its regular Area Development Programs; Save Children – (i) Build capacity for rapid, appropriate, rights-based and child-focused response; (ii) Identify existing needs and resources for child-focused emergency preparedness; (iii) Integration of DM into socio-economic program

Functions of Key Stakeholders in DM Non Government Organizations Oxfam – (i) Mitigate vulnerability of poor people in natural disasters; (ii) Disaster preparedness and awareness raising; (iii) CBDM and (iv) Emergency relief assistance Others (Action Aid, AusAid, CARE, CECI, EC, Catholic Relief Service) - Mitigate vulnerability of poor people in natural disasters and emergency relief assistance
- 29. Gap Analysis Institutional issue: Lack of an appropriate body responsible for matters related to all natural disasters in Vietnam There is no organization that regularly meets with scientists or the public to solicit ideas about needs to plan for future disasters Legal issue: No detailed sanction exist for failure to comply in any legal regulation and document concerned with disaster risk management and mitigation No technical investigation or enforcement authority has been organized Information issue: insufficient data collection and record for and inefficient management in all phases of non-water related disasters low reliability of mid-term and long-term weather and meteorological forecasts
- 30. Gap Analysis Assessment issue: statistics and assessment of damages caused by floods and storms are limited by methods used to collect and assess measurable physical damages the work of assessing the damage due to floods and storms is not fully and accurately reflected little ongoing assessment or preparation for new and future natural disasters Planning and integration issue: response planning is not systematic for all disasters Disaster risk management has not been well integrated into the planning and investment process Financial issue s: Vietnam Insurance Company has not yet actively participated in providing disaster risk insurance determination of splitting of costs for disaster damage mitigation between government and private industry does not follow any set standard
