2 Outline Introduction Google Earth Basics NCDR Hazard maps and its application Hands on Exercise Presentation and Discussion Group 1 (4p) Group 2 (4p) Group 3 (5p) Conclusion

3 INTRODUCTION OF HAZARD MAP Introduction of hazard map The hazard maps made by NCDR

4 Introduction of Hazard map What is hazard map? The map clarify the area where the certain disaster might occur or the range might be affected. Area with disaster potential: It shows the area is with higher disaster potential under the assumption. The disaster may not occur every time. Area without disaster potential: The area is without community located inside, or simulation analysis, or disaster records. But the disaster will probably occur when the environmental change or extreme event happen in the area. What does a hazard map do? Hazard map assembled various basic data. It helps to project the disaster mitigation and prevention work, shelter location suitability analysis, evacuation route, etc. The disaster prevention stuff could be familiar with the data assemble work and support the decision making work through this material 4 before and during the disasters.

5 Technique to produce hazard maps Preparedness Response Vulnerability investigation Disaster management Hazard-prone area: Places that the disaster occurs frequently. The susceptibility of a certain disaster is also high. Database of Vulnerable factor Detailed information survey: Vulnerable factors Hazard-prone area: Flood and slopeland collapse Protected targets Roadway: alternative road Bridge: temporary bridge Flood prevention facilities Shelters Rescue Resources Mitigation Project planning Hazard map Hazard map: Hazard map is produced according to the data from government agencies and investigated results. 5

6 Disaster Survey: Flood hazard-prone area Investigation Content Historical event: Flooding range and depth Flooding time Rainfall amount Hazard-prone area: Low-lying area Land subsidence Inundated and narrowing of river path Confluence part

7 Mark the inundation area on the map 凡 那 比 颱 風

8 Disaster Survey: Sediment hazard-prone area Investigation Content Historical event: Location Affected range Magnitude Rainfall amount Hazard-prone area: Geologic survey River Terrace Old landslide Artificial Slope, retaining wall

37 NCDR HAZARD MAP

38 Various kinds of hazard maps Hazard map: The map to clarify the hazard-prone area or the probable effected range. Evacuation Map: The map to clarify the hazard-prone area and the evacuation direction or route Community hazard map: The local resident recognize the hazard-prone area and establish the network for recue and disaster prevention under the guide from professionals. Campus risk map: The map is produced by school. It shows the hazard susceptibility, rescue resources, evacuation route, and venue of reporting. Alternative roadmap: Scheming out the alternative route for the region which is isolated easily. Family disaster card: The document for households to clarify the gather spot and communication data during the disaster 38

39 Data utilized to integrate Taiwan Hazard Maps 1. Central Weather Bureau----Rainfall station locations 2. Water Bureau----Flood hazard map, 24-hr rainfall threshold value, water depth station, rainfall station location 3. Soil and Water Conservation Bureau---- Potential debris flow hazard torrent, community distribution, and rainfall threshold value 4. Central Geological Survey, MOEA----Environmental geological map (debris slide, rock slide, rockfall, dip slope) and community distribution 5. Directorate general of highways Significant roadway and bridge 6. Department of Social Affairs----Refuge, social welfare institutions (institutions for disabled and senior citizen) 7.

50 Introduction of Hazard map What does a hazard map tell us? Hazard map shows the area with high disaster potential or the probable effected range How to produce a hazard map? The hazard map requires various of basic data, including historical disaster records and database of vulnerable factors. The data could be acquired by field investigation or remote sensing images. To sift out the necessary information is important 50
