| description |
This report addresses the fact that
natural disasters have caused vast social upheaval and
economic damage to Armenia. This ongoing vulnerability to
natural disasters has led Armenia to appreciate the
advantages of developing a comprehensive strategy to help
minimize ensuing fiscal exposure because the national budget
will never be adequate to mitigate, respond, and recover
from these recurrent but unavoidable crises. Since the
Spitak earthquake, Government has reorganized its emergency
management system and established many seismic mitigation
activities and created a Ministry of Emergency Situations
(MoES) and established a cabinet-level Minister responsible
for disaster response. Government may wish to build on these
achievements. The report is also based on a study carried
out in Armenia under the Global Facility for Disaster
Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) project, which analyzed
disaster risks, assessed existing systems, mechanisms, and
institutional capacities, and made recommendations for
developing a comprehensive national disaster reduction and
preparedness agenda, which could form the basis for a
natural disaster reduction project. |
