1 "Disaster Reduction Hyperbase (DRH)" Project: DRH-Asian Application - DRH Project Progress - DRH System Development Meeting at EDM-NIED, Kobe October 2006 Hiroyuki Kameda Visiting Researcher, NIED Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University DRH-Asia Project PI

2 Roadway to Disaster Reduction Hyperbase EqTAP Project (April 1999-March 2004) (APEC initiative) Implementation Strategies in R&D WCDR (January 2005) HFA / "Portfolios" proposed / "Pilot Project" DRH Project - Phase I: April 2005-March 2006 International framework for DRH development DRH Project - Phase II: July 2006-March 2009 Production of DRH Disaster Reduction Hyperbase Asian Application

3 DRH Project Phase II * MEXT-NIED Project (July 2006-March 2009): Disaster Reduction Hyperbase Asian Application" (Pricipal Investigator: Hiroyuki Kameda) * Sponsor: MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), Government of Japan * Budget (anticipated): 30million ($270,000)/year

4 Purpose of the DRH Project Phase II (1) Development of DRH-Asia (production phase): Main server (NIED) + Companion systems (DRH-China,.) (2) Collaboration for inter-regional DRH group: DRH-Global +International coordination: UN-ISDR +Partner institution(s): EC/JRC

5 Disaster information databases *Data (disaster records,...) *Information (hazard, risk,...) *Knowledge (R&D outputs (show cases),...) *Wisdom (implementation oriented technologies, transferable indigenous knowledge...) DRH

6 * Organizations in Charge Asian Context: + NIED (National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention)-(Asian and cross-regional coordination) + Kyoto University (DPRI, Sch Eng, Sch GES)-(contribution from CASiFiCA framework) + CAO (Disaster Management)-(international collaboration policy) + MEXT (Office for Disaster Reduction Research)-(R&D policy) + ADRC-(gateways to the Asian member countries) + Beijing Normal University, NSET Nepal, SEEDS India + many other institutions -(national and regional coordination) * Cross-regional Coordination and Participation: +UN-ISDR Secretariat -(international coordination / link with ISDR s Global Information Platform development) +European Commission / Joint Research Centre (EC/JRC)- (coordination and production for Europe / Africa) +CRID -(coordination for Americas)

7 (Message from the DRH Project - Phase I) Mission Statements and Resolution developed in the Workshop on International Framework for Development of Disaster Reduction Technology List on Implementation Strategies "Disaster Reduction Hyperbase (DRH)" Tsukuba, Japan, February 2006 Mission *Reduction of Vulnerability (Physical & Socio-economic) *Implementation Strategies *Creating information resource *Integrated Disaster Risk Management *Hyogo Frame for Action / Disaster Reduction Portfolio

8 Proposed DRH Attributes Open and Interactive access and participation access to tested implementation technology database, such as implementation oriented technology, process technology, transferable indigenous knowledge Forum for facilitating collation, testing and dissemination of mitigation models Link with relevant initiatives

9 Resolution (CMM-Final, Tsukuba, February 2006) Participants in the Workshop on International Framework for Development of Disaster Reduction Technology List on Implementation Strategies Disaster Reduction Hyperbase, Tsukuba, February 2006, have agreed that 1. Development of the Disaster Reduction Hyperbase (DRH) is a significant contribution to reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing integrated disaster risk management. 2. DRH will be an open and interactive database of implementation technologies, will provide a forum for facilitating collation, testing, dissemination of mitigation models, and will link with relevant initiatives. 3. Within a scheme of coordination, development and information nodes, participants will mobilize resources (organizational, fundraising, and inkind) for contributing to successful achievement of the DRH Mission. 4. DRH development activities contribute to the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action adopted in the UN-World Conference on Disaster Reduction, January We will meet in 2007 to continue further development of DRH
