4 Improving disaster risk preparedness in the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific region One outcome of the project is a network of CoPs for GIS, statistics and ICT applications, which are linked into a regional-level network supportive of disaster risk identification, preparedness and related information sharing and analysis The expected CoPs seek to enhance cooperation and networking among experts in disaster preparedness (space applications, GIS, ICT and statistics), with a special focus on LDCs, LLDCs and SIDs The data and information made available through such cooperation and networks will help in planning timely disaster response and create synergies with existing databases The CoPs will be maintained by ESCAP or other regional entities as part of the for information sharing and analysis Slide 7 In line with MDG implementation in the region, Gateway can support improved socio-economic analysis and promote standardized information systems for DRR, DP and DM In addition, Gateway can promote compatibility of data used in geospatial analysis and georeferenced information systems Gateway can support an online discussion on developing a common standard, at the regional and/or global level. It will also enhance common understandings on the linkages between MDGs and HFA and will contribute to the Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2012, to be presented at the 5th Asia Ministerial Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction All this, will therefore enhance the capacity of government s policy formulation in DRR and disaster management in the region Slide 8
