Regional applications

Regional subject applications

Issues in Disaster Resilience and Recovery shared across a region, and the cooperation that addresses them. Each regional application shows its status from the programme record.

01In brief

The short answer.

Disaster Resilience and Recovery regional applications address problems in the disaster and crisis field that the countries of a region share, such as preparedness and continuity, and the cooperation that responds to them. Each application is listed with its status from the programme record, and regional bodies and governments keep their own mandates and decisions.

Regional subject applications: the policy cycleA problem reaches the agenda, options are formulated and appraised, consultation tests them, the mandate holder decides, implementation and monitoring follow, and evaluation feeds the next agenda. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Hazards now in the Philippines.

For regional subject applications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on flood water, population density, active fires and true-colour imagery, framed on the Philippines; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

07Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
SubsidiarityThe principle that a decision is taken at the lowest level able to take it well, with a higher level acting only where the objective cannot be achieved closer to the people concerned; the Treaty on European Union states it.
Multi-level governanceShared decision-making across local, regional, national and international levels of government.
PrepositioningPlacing relief stocks near likely areas of need before a crisis to shorten response time.
