Speak with those construction planners to learn if they obtained insurance coverage in advance, and the cost and benefits associated with that coverage.After construction is complete, plan to purchase a long-term hazard policy to protect your investment against coastal flooding, especially if it covers other significant hazards in your project area. water, electricity, transportation networks). In Kiribati fishermen use a mix of traditional practices and modern equipment/tools. If the dependencies are high and the cost of mitigation and redundancy are over budget, consider an alternative site for the project. In particular, if the project is for infrastructure development (e.g., a new electrical sub-station), its connection to the wider service network should be planned for carefully.Damage and disruption to the local transportation network may not disrupt the functioning of a facility, but it can prohibit personnel from reaching critical infrastructure or an emergency facility.Consider all dependencies on your project that are vulnerable to coastal flooding. and present them to your finance team to inform the best decision for long-term risk management.During the design and construction phases, carefully consider purchasing a ‘builders risk’ insurance policy for your project. Track your beach erosion rate carefully within the natural course of your project’s maintenance and upkeep schedule. The data set used to classify the hazard in this area is not publicly available to view or download due to licensing restrictions. The vision stated in the Kiribati national Curriculum and Assessment Framework is to ‘nurture [I-Kiribati] children and young people to become wise and worthwhile citizens able to adapt to, and participate in, their changing world’. Debris collection and removal can be extremely costly, and recent experience has shown debris removal is often more costly than direct physical damage to the building itself.Interviewing local staff and residents having local experience with any aspect of risks to your projectExperts can provide significant value to your project since the risk is significant. People in Kiribati generally participate in both economies.
In time, the erosion can lead to a substantial increase in latent (hidden) risk. ... water, forest, biodiversity and coastal resource management that contribute to poverty reduction, sustainable livelihoods and climate resilience. Be sure to review the ThinkHazard! As with wind, rapidly moving flood waters can carry large and heavy debris that upon impact can cause direct physical damage. Yet, these ecosystem services often remain invisible.
In particular, ensure that the policy can cover aggregate weather hazards including those related to flooding (such as wind and extreme rainfall). Truly recognizing the value of such resources can help to highlight their importance and prevent their unnecessary loss.In 2006, Kiribati established the Phoenix Island Protected Area, one of the Large Scale Marine Protected Areas in the world, which constitute around 11% of Kiribati’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Also determine from your local authorities whether local building codes override national codes, in particular along the coast where the combination of coastal surges and strong winds from cyclones are most risky.
Even if the equipment is accessible, it may be damaged or completed inoperable at a time when it is most needed. As a part of comprehensive risk management, consult the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) to assure your project has long-term resilience to flood damage.
