ResiStand: Increasing disaster Resilience by establishing a sustainable process to support Standardisation of technologies and services : Delivrable 5.3 : Roadmap for standardisation deliverables improving disaster resilience
report
In order to develop the ResiStand roadmap, the collected data of the preceding tasks has been processed, based on the central tools and concepts of the project like the ResiStand Assessment Framework. The data has been analysed, assessed and transformed into potential individual standardisation items providing key some characteristics.
Overall, 69 items have been analysed and grouped with respect to disaster management phases and tasks, UNISDR criteria for disaster risk reduction, priorities for action of the Sendai framework for risk reduction and relevant technical standardisation committees and working groups. 21 of those had sufficient data to perform an extended evaluation with respect to urgency and preferred leading type of stakeholder. Expected impact and feasibility could be assessed only for a few items.
The results suggest that the focus of the community concerned with disaster resilience is on dealing with the risks and management of potentially occurring disasters, while the need for standards in the recovery phase is not emphasised. A vast majority of potential standardisation items was related to multiple technical standardisation committees and working groups which reflects a great need for cooperation and opportunity of cross-fertilisation. In terms of suggested leading type of stakeholder, crisis management and disaster resilience is seen as an important task and the responsibility of local and regional governments but all stakeholder types must play their role when it comes to the realisation of particular standards.
In terms of exploitation of this roadmap beyond the ResiStand project, the ResiStand Process – of which the roadmap is envisaged to be a dynamic part – and its implementation plan will provide an adaptable way forward. A continuous influx of new standardisation proposals in the dynamic roadmap is possible and desirable. The database of standardisation items and the ResiStand Assessment Framework provide suitable mechanisms for the ResiStand Process. The realisation of the different standardisation items can be driven by specific stakeholders from a bottom-up or a top-down approach. Standards developing organisations like CEN and ISO will need to play a key role in the further process.
