This report examines the Libyan government’s response to the flood disaster in Derna, analyzing its approach across four critical phases: risk management, disaster preparedness, immediate response, and recovery and reconstruction. The report identifies substantial weaknesses in the handling of disaster management requirements, including a lack of serious and responsible engagement by Libyan authorities, along with numerous structural and administrative deficiencies. Key recommendations include enhancing the capabilities of the National Meteorological Center through modern equipment, refining the selection criteria for disaster management leadership, strengthening the involvement of civil society, the private sector, and independent experts, optimizing security responses, enforcing accountability measures effectively, increasing judicial oversight, organizing the distribution of aid and financial compensation to ensure equitable access and timely delivery, and establishing a dedicated research center for climate risk, emergency response, and crisis management.
