Thailand 2011 flooding

• The heaviest flooding in 50 years

• Economic losses of USD45.7 billion, which makes the floods one of the top five costliest natural disaster events in modern history.

Page 23: Rodel l 20150709_1500_upmc_jussieu_-_room_101_(building_14-24)

Key Message 4: Flooding leads to high mortality

• Southeast Asian floods of 2011 killed more than 2,000 people directly

• Many more died later due to illnesses and diseases

More than 6,000 died in Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013

Linking CCA and DRR

• Government agencies dealing with CCA and DRR are separate

• But they starting to collaborate

• This will have to be speeded up

• Coordination mechanisms are needed between institutions

• Mainstream CCA and DRR in land use planning

• Involve local government units and communities
