5. Increasing importance of private investment
- Public/Private investment share

The Need for Comprehensive Risk Financing Strategy
Challenges and Options
A: To decrease economic loss in the event of disaster
Invest in disaster risk reduction and preparedness
B: To finance the response/recovery/reconstruction after disaster
Transfer risk and/or pool money
Both require ex-ante financing under tight budget constraint
Need for Comprehensive Risk Financing Strategy
Q1 How much money should be allocated to comprehensive risk financing? (size of total pie)Q2 What is the most efficient and effective allocation of money between option A (risk reduction) and B (risk transfer and risk retention)? (how to divide the pie)

Risk Management Tools for Business and Household
Risk reduction Risk finance
Risk avoidance Risk mitigation Risk transfer Risk retaining
Business No business in hazard prone area
-Diversifying business location
-Improving resiliency of offices etc
-Crafting BCP
-Buying insurance- Issuing cat bonds
-Setting allowance for contingency
-Establishing captive companies
Household No housing in hazard prone area
Improving resiliency of housings
Buying insurance
Dedicated savings in the event of disaster
Insurance companies
Selecting risks which can be insured
Providing buyers with DRR incentive (e.g. premium setting linked to risk level)
-Buying reinsurance
-Issuing cat bonds
Setting deductible and liability limit

STEP4: Measure the impact of policy tools on DRR (avoided economic loss)
Process of evidence-based decision making
STEP1 : Produce risk (annual average loss & probable maximum loss) estimate.
STEP2: Choose the return period to cover : political decision
STEP3: Define the expected level of DRR: political decision

STEP4 : how to measure the impact of policy on DRR?Cost Benefit Analysis Disaster Impact Analysis
Preconditions •Past disaster loss data•Vulnerability data•Construction standard
Principle •If the present value of benefit is equal to or more than 1, invest. •The higher C/B ratio, the more preferable the project is.
•Before the project implementation, analyze and measure the disaster impact of the project and/or project impact on disaster.•If the negative impact is measured, include the mitigation cost in the total project cost.
Methodological problems (examples)
•How to assign monetary value to saved life?•How to assign monetary value to avoided loss?
•Same as CBA
Institutional
Problems
(examples)
•Who does the analysis?•Administrative burden

STEP5 (related): Main Challenges in DRR Investment Tracking:
Lessons from the recent studies(Main methodological challenges)
• How to count “embedded” DRR investment? (e.g. water management)
• How to separate DRR from reconstruction investment? (e.g. subsidy for housing relocation after disaster)
• How to measure private sector investment, for example, PPP?
• How to measure local government investment? (for example, many project are co-financed by national and local governments)
• How to make the tracking comparable across countries and along time? (e.g. common or comparable definition of DRR, counting method)
• It requires additional administrative burden on government

• DRR budget of DM Agency: easy to identify
• Main DRR tools embedded in sectoral budgets
• DRR Infrastructure investment
- 100% for DRR (not embedded)
e.g. coastal levees
- x % for DRR (embedded but separable) sub-category of budget item
e.g. emergency train stop equipment for train
- multiple purpose including DRR (completely embedded)
e.g. multi purpose dam, meteorological monitoring

Conclusion: Toward comprehensive risk finance strategy
(1) Constructing information and knowledge base is essentially important.
• Not only hazard risk information but also disaster loss and vulnerability information is necessary as a fundamental base for sound policy making
• Ensure that information leads to implementation: measuring the impact of policy on DRR would bridge the risk information, vulnerability information and government coping capacity information, and facilitate the DRR investment implementation.
(2) Better governance building is necessary.
• In addition to traditional DM agency, MOF and Planning Authority should be key stakeholders.
• Sectoral ministries, especially Ministry which has responsibility for infrastructure building, are also important stakeholders.
• Private sector, especially insurance sector and construction sector, had better be mobilized for cooperation.
