Workshop 10 - Disaster Management Manual: A Guide to Resilient Transportation Systems

Wednesday, October 4 16:30 - 18:00
Chair: Constantin ZBARNEA, DMM Chief Editor, TC 1.5 member, Romania
Room: Club A, 1st floor

For disaster management to be effective and efficient, it must be based on a clear understanding of the role and fulfillment of responsibilities of each actor as well as the timely implementation of appropriate interventions. A good disaster management practice is to integrate disaster management into national, provincial and district development plans, and to change the thinking and attitudes of individuals from disaster vulnerability to disaster resilience.

Lessons learned from past disasters can drive the development of new management strategies and new structural intervention and monitoring techniques, can also serve as test cases to evaluate the effectiveness of what has been put in place. In this sense knowledge sharing among road administrations, as well as practical experience, will be crucial.

This workshop showcased the Disaster Management Manual prepared by PIARC, which offers guidance on effective and efficient strategies and methods for PIARC member countries and regions to manage various disasters. The manual covers basic concepts and case studies, including lessons learned and best practices to apply these basic concepts in practice. These ideas and examples are categorized and cover each stage of the disaster management cycle.
