Conceptual Framework and Practical Methodology for Identifying and Addressing Underlying Disaster Risk Factors in The Bahamas
This integrated guidance document provides both the conceptual foundation and the operational methodology for identifying and addressing the underlying disaster risk factors in The Bahamas. Developed in collaboration with the DRM Authority and aligned with the DRM Act, it combines two internationally recognised models: the Pressure and Release (PAR) model and the Forensic Investigations of Disasters (FORIN) methodology, to support risk-informed, participatory, and systemic disaster risk governance.

The National Standard for Disaster Risk Analysis
The development of the Bahamas National Standard for Disaster Risk Analysis (NSDRA) was driven by the need to establish a technical benchmark for assessing disaster risks across the country. This is especially critical given The Bahamas’ vulnerability to natural hazards such as hurricanes, flooding, and storm surges, and the increasing urgency to align national practices with international standards and frameworks. The publication aims to: Standardise methodologies for disaster risk analysis across sectors and institutions; Support evidence-based decision-making in public investment, urban planning, and emergency preparedness; Enhance institutional capacity for risk-informed development and climate resilience; Facilitate inter-agency coordination by providing a shared framework for risk assessment; Align national practices with global frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and IDB’s DRM policy guidelines. It is also intended to be a living document, subject to updates and refinements as national capacities evolve and new data becomes available.
