High risk GoN/MoHA,2010
5 Current Status of Internet Penetration Source: Nepal Telecom Authority, October 2016
6 A recent (ESCAP) evaluation has classified Nepal s international connectivity as weak and its fixed and mobile infrastructure as limited. GDP per Capita, YE 2012 (PPP, USD) Int l. Bandwidth per Capita (Kbps) Int l. Connecti vity Domestic Connectivity IP Transit Price Competitive ness of Telecom Market Fixed and Mobile Broad band Infrastructure Annual 1 Mbps Broadband Subscription + Installation as % of Nominal GDP per Capita $1, Weak Limited Expensi ve Less Competitive Limited Very Expensive
7 Earthquake 2015 Powerful earthquake on 25 April 2015 with magnitude of 7.8 followed by 475 aftershocks until last week 8,000+ people lost their lives people were injured. Half million private houses were fully destroyed and 250,000 houses were partially damaged. 8 million people were affected. 14 out 75 districts were mostly affected, including capital area.
8 What happened after earthquake o Electricity power grid went down o Internet Services disrupted o Network congestion and Downtime o Voice call service was severely disrupted whereas SMS and internet were intermittent o Nepal s international Internet links survived but last mile connection was disrupted causing problem for immediate search and rescue operation (SAR)
9 Communication Sector Infrastructure damage- Nepal Telecom S.N. Asset Count 1 BTSs Affected Transmission Towers Affected 10 3 Fiber Backhaul Affected 2 4 Microwave Links Affected 15 5 Physical Buildings Affected 197 The total damages and losses of infrastructures related ICT in economic flows are estimated at US$36.10 million and US$ million respectively.
10 Electricity The April 2015 earthquake significantly damaged hydropower plants, the transmission system (substation and lines) and distribution lines. Electricity generation facilities and distribution networks were damaged in a big way. 115 MW hydropower facilities out of the 787 MW total installed capacity in the country were fully damaged 60 MW were partially damaged about 800 km of distribution and 365 transformers were damaged and non-operational.
11 Situation at hand at that time No shared information platforms No Cross-Agency Situational-Awareness (CASA) platform No integrated Incident Command and Control System (ICCS) All the emergency services were working independently improvising and adjusting to the situation presented to them National Disaster Response Framework (NDRF) was approved in 2013 but not implemented - Example: Emergency Communication Strategy within 6 months (not implemented)
12 Role of ICT Use of ICT in Search and Rescue Post-disaster relief efforts relied heavily on telecommunications, internet and broadcast media ICT helped to keep the people informed during and post disaster period ICT helped to inform people about the recovery and reconstruction programs 500+ FM Stations/Radio Nepal Social Media (Twitter/Facebook) Open Street Maps
13 Initiatives by ICT community Google has deployed its Person Finder to help track people in Nepal. The Web application lets people post or search for information on relatives and friends affected by a disaster. Skype made all Skype calls to landlines and mobiles in and out of Nepal free of charge from 27th April to 15th June. Facebook has also launched Safety Check that automatically lets people in the impacted region inform others about their safety. Viber has switched off 'Viber Out' billing in Nepal. Calls to Nepal via Viber Out have also been made free. Nepal Telecom and Ncell, two major service providers, provided free voice and date services Telecom service providers from many countries including India, United states, United Kingdom provided free voice and data service to make call or SMS to Nepal for few weeks (ITU) contributed with satellite telecommunications equipment,
14 ETC: Emergency Telecommunication Cluster Objective: provide the humanitarian community in Nepal with shared internet connectivity and security telecommunications services. Cluster was providing shared internet connectivity services in 13 sites 1,550 humanitarians from over 250 organizations were registered to use ETC services in Nepal. Cluster also build local capacity to ensure the sustainability of its deployed services and solutions in Nepal.
15 Internet Society Internet Society Nepal launched a RECONNECT Nepal Project handed over connection equipment to Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police to support efficient earthquake rescue operation. over 50 Nos of Power Bank (Mobile Recharger), 20 Set of Inverter, Solar Panel and Battery Established mobile charging station at various location to enable general population to charge their mobile phones with solar charger. Organized INET: Learning Lessons from Nepal-Embracing ICT for Disaster Management participation of 150 people from diverse sectors of ICT in the country and from abroad.

21 Was ICT sector resilient? Partially (May be) Why?
22 Post Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA) Disaster Risk Reduction and Build Back Better (Short-term priorities) reconstruction of damaged DRR assets and improvements on BBB principle; measures to improve preparedness, response, relief and logistics systems; measures to strengthen information and communication capacities for relief, response and recovery; and measures to enhance multi-hazard risk monitoring, vulnerability assessment, risk information dissemination and awareness.
23 Medium to long term priorities include: Improvements in legal and institutional arrangements; Measures to mainstream DRR into the developmental sector, particularly housing, private and public infrastructure, social sectors (health and education), and livelihood; and Measures to improve integration of climate change adaptation and DRR
24 Building Back Better (Creating Resilience) Area Immediate Need Specific Action Restoring Nepal Telecom s local network for priority customers Cellular and Internet services 1. Repairing local access networks in Kathmandu and affected districts for priority customers (government, hospitals, schools) 2. Emergency power generators 1. Restore cellular service by repairing fallen/ damaged sites 2. Provide high speed broadband connectivity in the worstaffected districts. 3. Lease government land, where available, within Kathmandu Valley to operators to build towers 1. Confirm locations and cost of repairing access network for priority customers 2. Pool requests for power generators across sectors 1. Use RTDF to build new towers in severely affected districts and ensure infrastructure sharing between operators 2. Use RTDF to support development of wireless broadband networks in worst affected districts 3. Use government resource and RTDF to finance the early build out of community information centers in every VDC in rural Nepal. 4. NTA and MOIC to identify in collaboration with operators, sites for leasing from government.
25 Building Back Better (Creating Resilience) Area Medium Term Needs Specific Action Building resilience in international and national communication 1. Establish redundancy for international gateways at both the India and China borders. 1. RTDF fund utilized for redundant network build-outs, with infrastructure sharing mandated. 2. Deploy short terrestrial fiber networks to India and China at border points. 3. Deploy national backbone network with open access (e.g., by including it in the electricity network rebuilt) 2. Review of telecommunications sector policy and regulatory framework to ensure that infrastructure investments are future proofed. 3. Adopt a policy, legal and regulatory framework for infrastructure sharing across utilities and sectors (roads, urban, power) and easier rights of way access. Building resilience to loss of critical data across sectors 4. Install additional towers in rural areas to provide increased coverage and ensure tower sharing Create system of redundant repositories of data for critical government information systems 4. Identify critical network points and implement early warning systems (EWS) in coordination with other agencies that have existing EWS. 1. Establish government disaster recovery data centers. 2. Pilot and adopt the concept of cloud computing
26 Area Medium Term Needs Specific Action Building resilience in international and national communication 6. Implement a disaster recovery telecommunications Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) 6. Develop mobile applications for both smart and feature phones that can send messages from a customer to preselected numbers 7. Develop and raise citizen awareness of telecommunications and ICT services and applications for use during disasters 7. Raise awareness among consumers on using telecommunications and ICT services during disasters in order to prevent network congestion.
27 Development after earthquake Preparation of Post Disaster Needs Assessment Report by National Planning Commission: Communication was one of the key sector Emergency Telecommunication Continuity Management System: Draft is ready ITU provided the technical Support National Emergency Telecommunications Plan: Draft ready/revised/not approved yet Optical Fibre connection with China in June 2016, creating necessary redundancy Nepal now can be directly linked with Hong Kong Data Center, which is one of the two biggest global date centers in Asia, through the Chinese mainland. Test successfully completed, commercial use is expected within few months NT has signed initial memorandum of understanding with China Unicom, another Chinese telecom operator, for further cross-border optical fiber connectivity.
28 Disaster Management System
29 Recommendations Need for shared information platforms Common operating picture for improving institutional responsiveness to crises and emergencies Telecommunications availability/survivability assessment necessary Business Continuity-Disaster Recovery Plan (BC-DRC) capacity development, Establish a set of emergency telecommunications infrastructure construction and operational best-practices supportive of national emergency communication resilience a multi-sectoral multi-stakeholder collaborative approach is necessary for policy development
