2. NEEDS ASSESSMENT
2.1 Date(s) of assessment; methodology and sources of information used;
organisation/person(s) responsible for the assessment
In the framework of DIPECHO VI for South America tsunamis, floods and earthquake are
identified as principal vulnerabilities of coastal communities in several areas of South
America. This is perfectly in line with the historic records of tsunami activity in the region as
shown in the figure below.
In this context, and in absence of a regionally
coordinated mechanism for tsunami
preparedness at community level, the proposal
will coordinate adaptive learning mechanisms
on tsunami preparedness at community level.
This mechanism has been successfully put in
practice in the Indian Ocean, in areas affected
by natural disasters in recent years.
The adaptive learning mechanism on tsunami
preparedness at community level embraces
the priority for action 2. ("identify, assess and
monitor disaster risks and enhance early
warning") of The Hyogo Framework for Action
2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations
and Communities to Disasters (HFA). More
specifically, this project addresses the
following subcomponents of Priority 2 of HFA:
2.5. People-centred early warning systems
developed and communication systems to

those at risk
2.6. Link early warning systems policy and practices to emergency management
2.7. International and regional efforts are standardized for cooperation and support
to early warning capacities
This proposal has drawn on the UNESCO/Inter-Governmental Oceanographic Commission
(IOC) experience as the technical oceanographic commission advisor for the Member
States and leader of Tsunami Early Warning System (EWS) mechanism. The
UNESCO/IOC established a Working Group on Tsunami Early Warning System for the
South Pacific, in partnership with the South East Pacific Permanent Commission (CPPS),
which meets frequently with relevant intergovernmental authorities and national
stakeholders. The Permanent Commission follows the ECHO country evaluation of selected
countries.
The Authorities Declaration of the Governments of Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and
Panama, issued at the "High Level Meeting on Climate Change and its impacts on marine
and coastal ecosystems of the Southeast Pacific (November 28, 2008), recognize the need
to strengthen and focus the technical work coordination and provide clear and more direct
knowledge and handling of the issue of Global Climate Change, in the marine and coastal
environment of the South Pacific Region, with focus on tsunami preparedness and natural
hazards of networks member states.
Based on this assessment by the national authorities, a detailed stock-take and needs
assessment will be carried out as a first step of the suggested project in the selected local
communities. This will include:
Stock-take of already existing structures for tsunami preparedness at community
level (existence of evacuation plans, sign-posting for evacuation routes etc.)
Review of school curricula (Is tsunami preparedness being taught at school?)
Assessment of knowledge, attitudes and practices of the communities with regard to
tsunamis and their risks & vulnerabilities
Education, both formal and non-formal, plays an important role in the preparation of the
population for disaster, such as tsunamis, and for the reduction and management of risks.
Tsunamis happen rapidly and often without much prior notice. The recovery process after a
natural disaster such as a tsunami can be long and difficult. Knowing what to expect, how to
be prepared and what to do after a disaster is essential in order to protect oneself, to be
able to help others and to take adequate measures to deal with the situation. Education is a
means to make sure that available knowledge on tsunamis is transmitted in an adequate
and effective way to different audiences and target groups.
In this context, UNESCO Santiago, UNESCO/IOC and the local partners in the targeted
countries (national maritime authorities, local authorities for emergencies, authorities for
education, and local communities) will cooperate in the development of adaptive learning
mechanisms on tsunami preparedness to be implemented in primary and/or secondary
schools as well as in the extended school community (targeting teachers, school principals,
parents) in the identified areas that are vulnerable to tsunamis. Previous UNESCO projects
of this type have had good evaluation and results in communities along the coast of the
Indian and Pacific Oceans, areas affected by serious natural disasters in recent years.
These learning processes will be accompanied by evacuation drills at the community level.
The Adaptive Learning Mechanism in Tsunami Preparedness at Community Level to be
developed and implemented through this proposal in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile
(ALMTsu) will focus on enhancing the communities and individuals learning and
participation in the planning and coordination of disaster warning, preparedness, response,
mitigation, and recovery to build up awareness and resilience at the community level. The
project provides strategic integrated approaches for all related stakeholders at the
community levels.
ALDTsu promotes learning processes for local disaster risk management targeting school
children, teachers, Local Administrative Authorities (LAAs), local leaders and Government
officers from provinces/departments potentially exposed to hazards. The participation of the
communities to which these target groups belong enhances the decision making process
regarding effective Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in line with the Hyogo Framework.
This project targets schools, as they are sustainable governmental institutions located at the
grass-root level. Whilst teachers have regular contact with school children and are
responsible for their education, at the moment there exist no direct adaptive, hands-on
learning opportunities on tsunami preparedness in the chosen communities, neither at the
formal level nor as local non-formal initiatives.
Using simple visual maps and technical information, the targeted province/department,
school children and their communities will be enabled to participate in planning and
organizing themselves to increase their capacities for learning from past disasters for better
future protection and to improve local disaster risk reduction measures.
The project will be conducted through consultations and in close interaction with the
National Disaster Warning Center of each country and each of the schools participating in
the process. To enhance the possibilities of success, best practices and experiences will
be shared among communities and school of the four countries. This process will inform
the formal educational process seeking adaptations towards improved DRR for tsunami
events.
Therefore, the core stakeholders for this project are school students and teachers and
communities of the targeted areas, Municipalities (Education department, DRR department)
or Prefectures, national Educational and Disaster Management Agencies, National Tsunami
Warning Centres (NTWCs). Other DIPECHO partners working on education and/or
Tsunami could also become involved.
Furthermore, the proposed action aims to create linkages at the institutional level. At the
institutional level, a frequently observed problem is that there is no inter-institutional
[UNESCO Proposal][Adaptive Learning Mechanism in Tsunami Preparedness at Community Level in Colombia,

SINGLE FORM
27/11/2007
cooperation between the different stakeholders in this case the education sector and the
national maritime and emergency authorities. In order to achieve comprehensive
approaches to tsunami risk reduction and preparedness, it is important that the education
sector becomes aware of its role in preparing the population for natural disasters (not only
tsunamis) and that the national maritime and emergency authorities recognize the
importance of education for their outreach to the communities. Linkages and synergies
need to be created between the different institutions. UNESCO is the ideal facilitator for this
process, given the fact that the Organization works both with the education sector as well as
with the national maritime authorities.
2.3 Summarise findings of the assessment (include full report in annex, if relevant) and
link these to the Action
The Sixth DIPECHO Action Plan declares that it will focus on the most vulnerable local
communities in neglected disaster prone areas and institutions involved in disaster risk
reduction, including bodies such as the Civil Defence.
Geophysical hazards as volcanic eruption and earthquakes will be [also] considered as a
priority in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru and in a minor measure in Bolivia, Chile
and Argentina.
Tsunamis are a result of earthquakes occurring under the sea, near the coasts of the
targeted countries. The Sixth DIPECHO Action Plan also indicates that regional
components will concentrate on networking, information management, training,
communication and awareness raising as well as compilation and dissemination of lessons
learned, and harmonisation of approaches.
Tsunami is indicated as priority specifically for the Pacific Coast in the coastal area of
Nario, Cauca, Valle and Choc departments where the main hazard is tsunami. In the
case of Ecuador the Sixth DIPECHO Action Plan indicates that according to the national
priorities the coastal priority region includes the provinces of: Esmeraldas, Santa Elena,
Guayas and El Oro.
Finally, the priorities for Peru include earthquake and tsunami in the departments of Lima,
Moquegua and Tacna. While this priority is not indicated for Chile, there are historical
severe events (5 in the last 500 years) in the Bio-Bio Region that despite the calls made by
experts has not reached the same degree of preparedness for tsunami as northern
provinces (Arica, Iquique) of Chile where tsunami response plans are in place and
evacuation drills are performed regularly.

4.1 Exact location of the Action (include map of project location)
4.2 Beneficiaries
4.2.1 Total number of direct beneficiaries:
The table above gives an overview of the total school population of the targeted areas. The
proposed action does not claim to reach all these school children as direct beneficiaries. A
limited numbers of schools in the selected areas will be selected (compare 4.2.4) to
participate actively in the Adaptive Learning Mechanism on Tsunami Preparedness.
However, the materials and tools prepared under this action will be available and of benefit
to all schools interested in the implementation of similar activities.
4.2.5 Describe to what extent and how the direct beneficiaries were involved in the
design of the Action
The direct beneficiaries, i.e. school students and their parents and teachers, have not yet
been involved in the design of this proposal. But they will be actively involved and consulted
in the activities to be carried out under this proposal, both as participants in the learning
process as well as in shaping the materials and learning modules to be developed, adapted
and improved. Participative feedback and review mechanisms will be developed as part of
the action to make sure that the communities needs and opinions are adequately reflected
and taken into account.
The main stakeholders at national level have participated in the elaboration of this proposal
and their commitment is reflected through the attached support letters. Core local teams
composed of Working Groups in charge of a given set of schools will be established. These
core teams plus a number of experts from several national, provincial and local agencies
will have the responsibility for following up the activities at the community level.

preparedness. Experts from the national maritime authorities working on tsunamis will serve as
technical advisors and verify the content of the modules.
Different training modules will be developed for school children and the extended school community
(non-formal trainings for parents and other community groups). The school can be used as a
community learning centre offering non-formal education to its extended community such as the pupils
parents. School children can be involved in the preparation and implementation of community
awareness campaigns as part of their learning process.
Given that the curricula of most schools are already over-crowded, it needs to be negotiated with the
teachers as well as the school principals whether the modules can be integrated into a regular subject
(for example science education) or whether they have to be carried out as extra-curricular activities in
the form of project work.

Activity 3: To develop and carry-out drills and evacuation exercises with the communities
Based on the results of Activity 2, the targeted communities will participate in a realistic drill
and evacuation exercise simulating the event of a tsunami. This will require a mobilization of
all authorities and stakeholders involved, including the media.
Following a technical design similar to the described in the figure below, a competitive
procurement process will be used for selecting a provider that will install 1 system with 5

5. CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
5.1 Describe the expected level of sustainability and/or connectedness 7
The interventions planned under this proposal can be considered as pilot activities
The products, i.e. learning modules and materials for schools and community-based
learning, will be standardized and made freely available to other schools and communities
that wish to instil in their students the knowledge, attitudes and practices to be prepared for
the event of a tsunami. The above-mentioned UNESCO Associated Schools Network
(ASPnet) will be a useful mechanism for the dissemination of these materials and modules,
and ASPnet schools in vulnerable areas will be encouraged to adapt and use these tools in
their school communities. Further funding will be sought to systematize the experiences
made and to expand activities to include more schools and communities in areas with
tsunami risk.
The theme of education for risk management and disaster preparedness is also being
promoted by UNESCO Santiago within the framework of its activities on the United Nations
Decade on Education for Sustainable Development (2005 2014). Currently, UNESCO
Santiago is launching a call for good practices on teaching education for sustainable
development, explicitly inviting teachers in Latin America and the Caribbean to provide
examples on education for risk reduction and management.
The agreements achieved under Result 3 of this proposal - Inter-institutional and regional
coordination mechanisms on Tsunami EWS set-up between Tsunami Warning Centers and
Educational National Authorities developed are aiming to ensure commitments and on-going
coordination and cooperation between the different stakeholders to link education and disaster risk
reduction at an institutional level.
7
Sustainability and connectedness are similar concepts used to ensure that activities are carried out in a
context that takes longer-term and interconnected problems into account.

chronic crises and early reconstruction efforts, can be both life-saving and life-sustaining. It
can save lives by protecting against exploitation and harm and by disseminating key
survival messages, on issues such as landmine safety or HIV/AIDS prevention. It sustains
life by offering structure, stability and hope for the future during a time of crisis, particularly
for children and adolescents. Education in emergencies also helps to heal the pain of bad
experiences, build skills, and support conflict resolution and peace building (INEE Minimum
Standards, 2004). UNESCO therefore promotes the Minimum Standards for Education in
Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction developed by the Inter-Agency
Network on Education in Emergencies (INEE) which serve to provide guidance on how
national governments, other authorities, and national and international agencies may
respond and establish education programmes in emergency settings. The standards are
designed to be used by communities, governments, other authorities and humanitarian
workers to meet education needs, as defined by the immediate populace.
Furthermore, the policy and strategy of UNESCOs Education Sector for post-conflict and
post-disaster situation also provides guidelines for UNESCO interventions at three stages of
the post-emergency situation: Emergency and early recovery, post-crisis transition, as well
as rehabilitation and reconstruction.
5.3 Mainstreaming (e.g. Disaster Risk Reduction, Children, Human rights, Gender,
Environmental impacts, others to be specified)
Disaster Risk Reduction: The activities planned under this proposal will help vulnerable
populations to better understand the nature of disasters caused by tsunami, to understand
early signs of warning, to know what to expect, how to be prepared, and what to do during
and after the tsunami. This way, in the case of a tsunami, it will be easier for the affected
persons to protect themselves, to help others and to overcome the situation. The project will
also lead to better early-warning systems which will serve to reduce the risk of catastrophic
impacts as seen in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Children: Capacity Development in Schools on DRR and Child Protections standards under
baseline of Education in Emergency Situations will contribute to reduce the impact of
natural hazards on children, taking into consideration basic recommendations in the school
system.
Gender: Gender Mainstreaming in Disaster Risk Reduction and Gender Equality will be
ensured in the whole process and all activities. UNESCO has the UN mandate to ensure
gender equality and it is one of the two priorities of the Organization for this biennium
(2008-2009). All documents and materials produced under this action will be formulated in
a gender sensitive way. Attention will be paid to maintain a gender balance among the
beneficiaries of the activities, i.e. that both girls and boys, men and women can participate
in the learning activities.
6. FIELD COORDINATION
6.1 Field co-ordination (indicate the Humanitarian Organisation's participation in
coordination mechanisms with other relevant stakeholders, e.g. clusters, NGOs, UN
agencies, others to be specified as well as the links with the Consolidated Appeal
Process, when relevant)
UNESCO/IOC works directly with the national maritime authorities and high-level
oceanographic research centres, especially on tsunamis and earthquake events. It holds
periodical meetings and workshops in Latin America, the Caribbean and the Pacific region.
This cooperation is part of the priorities for Early Warning System Mechanisms, and
UNESCO/IOC works in close collaboration with other relevant UN Agencies, like OCHA and
ISDR. The Secretary of IOC is also Secretary of ICSPRO, the Inter-Secretariat Committee
on Scientific Programmes Related to Oceanography, across UN agencies. Other agencies
involved in ICSPRO are IMO, FAO, WMO, the UN, the IAEA and UNEP.
UNESCO Santiago (Regional Bureau for Education in Latin America and the Caribbean)
works directly with the relevant UNESCO Field Offices in Quito (Andean Cluster for
Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia), and in Lima (National Office for Peru).
6.3 Co-ordination with DG ECHO (indicate the Humanitarian Organisation's contacts with
DG ECHO and its technical assistants in the field)
UNESCO has not yet cooperated with DG ECHO in the Latin American region.
