This report seeks to further the body of
disaster risk management (DRM) knowledge in Santa Catarina
by identifying flood asset exposure risks and consequently
empower the state government and its institutions to include
DRM practices and information in their daily operations and
decision-making processes, respectively. In this context, a
novel study was jointly designed and developed by the World
Bank and Santa Catarina’s state government with the ultimate
aim to produce a state-level Catastrophe (CAT) model. The
novelty and depth of the study allowed the team to draw a
number of potential policy implications and possible
decision making to improve the state’s resilience to natural
disasters. To the best of the team’s knowledge, this is a
first-of-its-kind study in Brazil and has potential direct
applications to a wide body of professions and institutions
in Santa Catarina. Finally, the proposed methodological
approach was heavily based on the national census as well as
on commonly accessible hydro-meteorological data and
topographic information to ensure replicability in other
Brazilian states or municipalities. |
