| Abstract | (unpublished)
BC Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Hub Design Concept outlines the purpose, objectives, role, and institutional structure for the proposed secretariat to be established at
provincial level to facilitate connections and collaboration between science and policy actors for the common goal of disaster and climate risk reduction. The role of DRR Hub includes 1) responding to priority demands of practitioners and policy
designers for risk data management and production of relevant risk information and 2) enabling its use in design of policies and investments that build resilience of the communities in BC. The proposed design of DRR Hub is based on inputs and
consultations with a wide range of provincial and local level actors in disaster and climate risk management convened through DRR Pathways project led by Natural Resources Canada. The Hub will enable collaborations and connections between science and
policy researchers, designers, and decision makers to work together in enhancing the governance of disaster and climate risk information and building resilient communities in BC aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and BC
Emergency Program Act Modernization. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The scientific and technical entities use language and approaches in the field of climate and disaster risk that are very different from the language
used and how things are done within the governments or private sector on the same issues. These differences become a major barrier in producing relevant scientific information and using it for reducing the risk through policies and programs of the
governments. Close dialogue and collaboration between science and policy entities and experts is needed to define terminologies, develop methodologies and tools, and produce data that connect science to true demands of disaster and climate risk
management. This document describes the design of BC DRR Hub as a small entity that will facilitate connection and collaboration between a wide range of provincial and local public and private entities active in reducing disaster and climate risk in
BC. |
