Suriname National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment
This National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA) looks at Suriname's hazard profile, cultural characteristics, geographical and geopolitical context, historical events, and other factors that could influence, both positively and negatively, the country's ability to effectively manage disasters.
This assessment is comprised of two components: the Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) and the Disaster Management Analysis (DMA). The RVA looks at multi-hazard exposure, social-economic vulnerabilities and coping capacity. The DMA takes a qualitative approach to assess six subthemes: Enabling Environment; Institutional Arrangements; Disaster Governance Mechanisms; Capabilities and Resources; Capacity Development; and Communication and Information Management.
