[dmwg] International Day for Disaster Reduction: 'Women and Girls: the [in]Visible Force of Resilience'; meeting notes/action points from 13th September meeting

[Gia, Nguyen Van]

Dear all
Due to some conflicts in timing, the DMWG will need to change time of the meeting from traditional Friday afternoon, to Friday morning, from  9.30 AM to 12.00; 21 September, at suggest from Paccom,
This time, Paccom has invited People from Thanh Hoa to come and present the flood situation in the province.
After the survey made by Thanh Hoa province to the flooded villages,  general impression was that the damage was more serious than anticipated, many communes suffered from the flood caused by broken dikes, besides human loss, a great amount of properties and crop have been destroyed. The  villages faces with long  flooding as water could hardly reduce while the dike is broken and river water is high.  The question is how to help the people suffering from the flood
The meeting will discuss the following points (Please add more if you have idea)

1-      Flood situation in Thanh Hoa and the North Central provinces (Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh)

2-      Coordination and plan for organizing the International disaster reduction day (second week of October)

3-      Organization update

4-      Up-coming regional events (the 5th ASIAN MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE ON DISASTER RISK REDUCTION ; Yogyakarta, October 22-25, 2012<http://5thamcdrr-indonesia.net/>) any input from Vietnam? We see some points raised by DWF

5-      Technical corner: any organization interested in Update? Cash grant? Sphere? JAT?
Please find the attached minute of the last meeting for your approval
Best regards
Gia
