The Value of Geo-Information for Disaster and Risk Management (VALID)

Book project
Outline
1. Motivation2. Background3. Approach4. Preliminary results5. Outlook
Motivation
• Increased disaster frequency: storms, floods, volcanoes, fires, earthquakes, …
• Tremendous damage to property around the world• Displacements of tens of thousands of people from
their homes.
• Several geo-information technologies can help:– meteorological and Earth observation satellites, – communication satellites – satellite-based positioning technologies– Intelligent Geo-information management analysis
Motivation
• The use of this technologies requires:– political support, – laws and regulations, – institutional responsibility, – trained people.
• One of the major aims of the UN and JBGIS was to ensure this political support
• The first step was the first Booklet
First Booklet : March 2009
• Goal:– To make disaster managers and political
decision-makers aware of the potential and benefits of using geospatial information in every phase of disaster and risk management
• Call for papers: – no lengthy scientific publications but stories
about benefits of technologies, short enough to be read during a coffee break.
Disaster types
• Geophysical: – earthquake, tsunami, volcano, mass movement,
severe storm, flood, fire, drought, extreme temperature
• Biological: – epidemic, insect infestation, vector diseases
• Technological/societal: – pollution (air, soil, water), industrial facilities failure,
terrorist attacks, traffic break down and accidents (air, road, sea).
Selection criteria
About 70 abstracts received…
• Written in a non-scientific language• Show benefits of geo-information• Technology used in real cases• Different phases• Various disasters• Examples from different continents
… 16 abstracts selected
Geographical Distribution of Papers
Different disasters
• Typhoon• Tsunami• Earthquake• Wildfires• Volcano• Flood• Landslides• Dust storms• Humanitarian disaster• Tunnel structure monitoring
We hope the booklet will serve its purpose

Objectives of the second book project:The Value of Geo-Information for Disaster and Risk Management (VALID)
• to give evidence of the economic, humanitarian and organizational benefits which can be realized by applying geoinformation to disaster and risk management,
• to raise awareness in the political and
programmatic environment,
• to set priorities in research and development.

• GIS application • Complex modeling • Spatial extension• Temporal extension• System integration• System operation
Post-Disaster: • Response & Relief• Recovery & Reconstruction

Geo-Information is mostly applied where it is cheap and less efficient!

Criteria addressed in a detailed web-based stakeholder appraisal of the shortlisted geoinformation products/systems (Analysis of appraisal results ongoing)
Benefits
for operational issues: for strategic issues:
– Humanitarian aid– Health care– Critical infrastructure– Security
– Efficiency of plans and policies– Public acceptance of plans and
policies– Support of superregional
consistency and cooperation – Reducing losses in public
economy– Support of preventive
strategies
