Transcription

1 2 nd Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, New Delhi,2007.Nov.7 Japan- SAARC Special Fund Cooperation Program for Promoting Regional Initiatives for Regional and Sub-regional Cooperation on Disaster Risk Reduction Cooperation for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management in the SAARC Region Koji Suzuki, Executive Director Asian Disaster Reduction Center Recommendation adopted in the International Conference on Japan-SAARC Cooperation held on July 31st, 2006 in Bangladesh with a financial support of Japan-SAARC Special Fund. Feasibility Study on Satellite Application on DRR Assess current status of hazard analysis, vulnerability mapping and risk assessment in each of the eight countries of South Asia Identify strength and critical gaps in infrastructure, resources and capacities in each country Develop common format of Vulnerability Atlas for South Asia Assess the technical, financial and human resources required for undertaking the study Assess time required for the development of the proposed atlas Recommend the most appropriate strategy for preparation of Digitized and Vulnerability Atlas Integrating Spatial Data on Physical, Socio-Economic and other related data Documentation of Indigenous Knowledge and Coping Mechanism of Different Communities Living in Multi- Hazard Zones of South Asia Select 3 countries from island, mountain and continent area in SAARC region. Collect the indigenous knowledge and coping mechanism against natural hazards. Review the applicability of the knowledge and mechanism to other communities with similar characteristics Document the selected indigenous knowledge and mechanism for dissemination 1

2 ERRP Programme Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness Programme for South Asian Region International Recovery platform November, 2007 MoFA, Japan UNDP in the context of the IRP developed a regional programme to address Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness for South Asian region Project Budget : USD 4.83 million Funded by : Government of Japan (MoFA) Targeted countries : Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan Proposed Project partners : SAARC Sec., SCDM,, UN OPS The Purposes of the ERRP ERRP Coordination Support Project (Regional Component) To strengthen the institutional and community capacity to plan and to implement earthquake risk reduction strategies integrating disaster preparedness, mitigation and post disaster recovery in 5 countries To support regional cooperation for DRR and recovery preparedness in the context of SAARC Framework for Disaster Management Regional Knowledge exercise and Networking Lessons and experience sharing through training, workshops, seminars on regional Bld. Code practice, EQ safe construction, etc. Documentation of experiences and practices Facilitating regional and international technical assistance for the countries and regional project. 2

3 Disaster Mitigation Project for ASEAN 2 nd East Asian Summit, Cebu, Philippines, 15 Jan, 2007 v Japan s Cooperation for Natural Disaster Mitigation 1. Natural Disaster Mitigation in Asia with more than 8 mil UD$ (ODA) 2. Disaster Mitigation Project for ASEAN by with 3 mil US$ ( Japan ASEAN Integration Fund) 3. International Forum on Tsunami and Earthquake on Jan, Kobe 4. Disaster Management Initiative by ASEAN with 5.6mil US$ (Japan-ASEAN Comprehensive Economic Partnership Fund) New Projects for Natural Disaster Mitigation Developing teaching materials and teacher s guide and training teachers for disaster education promotion Capacity building for local officials on disaster management Enhance the capacity of disaster management officers on satellite technologies for disaster management Development of web-based Glide-associated database on natural hazards Sentinel Asia Satellite technology application on disaster risk reduction and Web-GIS based disaster information sharing system for Asia-Pacific Space Community APRSAF Satellite Image Promotion of Utilization Capacity Building Digital Asia Web-GIS Platform Framework Voluntary and best-efforts initiative by participating organizations and cooperation with APRSAF,, Digital Asia and international organizations GIS Data Satellite Image Meta Data Management Sentinel Asia Joint Project Team (JPT) Join Project Team consists of total 51 organizations including 44 agencies from 18 countries and 7 international organizations as of July International Community UNESCAP, UNOOSA, ASEAN, AIT etc. International Cooperation Disaster Information Utilization (User) Digital Earth Community User Community 3

4 Emergency Flow counterparts and JPT members Feedback Image, Data Dissemination Disaster Information Sentinel Asia Server Feedback Image, Data Dissemination JAXA(HQ) planning Disaster Remote- Sensing No. 1 Emergency Activities (1) Acceptance Date Institution Disaster Date Sensor /2/ /3/ /4/ /5/ /5/30 Aeronautics and Space Aeronautics and Space Australian Centre for Remote Sensing (ACRES), Australia Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), Thailand Department of Water Induced Disaster Prevention, Nepal Mudslide (12/1, Philippines) (2/3) Earthquake (3/6) Tsunami (4/2, Solomon Islands) Heavy rainfall Snowstorm (5/27) 2006/12/3 2006/12/5 2007/1/3 2007/2/5 PALSAR 2007/3/7 2007/4/7 No 2007/5/ /6/1 Remarks Observed because extensive damage No damage reported and sever damage could not be foreseen Ministry of Food and Landslide /6/21 Disaster Management, (6/11) Bangladesh 2007/6/22 PALSAR No. Acceptance Date Institution Disaster Date Sensor /7/2 Emergency Activities (2) Space and Upper Tropical cyclone Atmosphere Research (6/26) Commission, Pakistan Volcano eruption /7/17 Aeronautics and Space (7/9) Committee of /7/24 Emergency Situations, Tajikistan Earthquake (Landslide, 7/21) 2007/6/26 PALSAR 2007/7/10 PALSAR 2007/7/ /7/27 PALSAR Remarks Challenges Faced (1) The internet environment of the most intended countries are not fast enough to make use of the Web-GIS function of Sentinel Asia. More than 1MBPS is desirable <= 128 kbps 7% <= 256 kbps 20% <= 512 kbps 20%, Landslide /7/26 Aeronautics and Space (7/23) Ministry of Food and /7/31 Disaster Management, Bangladesh 13 (7/31) (8/6, Vietnam) 2007/7/30 PALSAR Schedule 2007/8/4 PALSAR Schedule 2007/8/5 PALSAR International Charter Activated <= 64 kbps 27% > 1,024 kbps 13% <= 1,024 kbps 13% 2) Damage information is not clearly indicated in the satellite imagery alone so that it needs to equip with remote sensing analysis to easily identify the disaster damage. 16 4

5 Provide Value Added Information for Disaster Risk Reduction (1) Associating additional data Satellite image alone sometimes could not give sufficient information for the diverse needs of disaster risk reduction. The combination of satellite information with GIS data, such as digital map, topographic data, elevation data, population distribution, etc. could be the solution. Thank you for your Attention (2) Applying damage assessment with satellite A damage assessment information after a large scale disaster would be very important for rescue and evacuation activities as well as recovery planning. 5
