[dmwg] FLOODS IN THE NORTH: DMWG monhtly meeting (7 July, 1.30 pm in NGO RC): revised agenda

[Ugo Blanco]

Dear disaster colleagues,

After the heavy rains of last Sunday (5 July) in the northern areas, let me suggest including in the agenda as one of the first discussion points an update on the situation. This invitation is also extended to CCFSC permanent staff that surely will be glad to provide further information about damages and particularly needs if any.

Initial data includes: 22 deaths, 13 missing, 02 injured, 19 houses collapsed and 262 rice hectares flooded http://www.ccfsc.org.vn/ccfsc/?module=102&nid=1136&sid=NDMP

Additionally, and for your information, we are in consultation with UNOSAT to activate the charter and get satellite imaginary of the flooded areas to better assess the impact.

In the light of these recent events, the objective of today's meeting will be as follows:

 1.  Update on heavy rains in northern Viet Nam (5 July)
 2.  Monitoring the implementation of DMWG Annual Work plan
 3.  Policy Dialogue in Viet Nam: Geneva, High Level Forum
4.   International Disaster Response Law
5.   Other business

Attached is the revised agenda.

Date: 7 July (today)
Time: 13.30 h.
Venue: NGO RC (La Thanh Hotel, 218 Doi Can str.)

For those interested in participating in Peter's (NDMP) farewell dinner, we'll gather after the meeting in Pacific Bia Hoi (281 Doi Can str.) just opposite NGO RC.

Looking forward to your participation.

Best regards,

Ugo
DMWG

Subject: DMWG monhtly meeting (7 July, 1.30 pm in NGO RC): draft agenda

Dear DMWG members,

I'm happy to send you an invitation to participate in the next DMWG meeting that will be held on Tuesday, 7 July, at 13.30 in NGO RC.

We will be starting half an hour earlier as requested by IFRC so Victoria can present to the group findings and views about their Disaster Law project.

Objectives of the meeting:

 1.  Monitoring the implementation of DMWG Annual Work plan
 2.  Policy Dialogue in Viet Nam: Geneva, High Level Forum
3.   International Disaster Response Law
4.   Other business

As you will see in the draft agenda attached, the regular DMWG meeting will last only 1 hour so IFRC has time enough to fully cover the issues under their IDRL project.

Please, note that meeting will start at 13.30 h., instead of 14.00 as in previous occasions.

Cheers,

Ugo
