Step 4: Training and Capacity Building in DRR

Awareness on concept, benefits and opportunities of investing in soft structure as a DRR strategy is lacking in many of the sectors that operate in the coastal regions of many countries. Training and capacity building of stakeholders, particularly in the public works, revenue and local governance units is needed. Training in how to use planning tools such as Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is essential. Also, updated information and data on the impacts of natural hazards on the coastal areas and the coastal communities should be generated. Trainings should be conducted for building capacity on implementing DRR action plans for each sector to address the impacts of natural hazards. Guidelines for implementing these action plans should be developed and used. “Train the trainers” methods can be used to spread the capacity more widely to ensure spatial adaptation and implementation of a DRR strategy along the coasts of vulnerable communities.
