1 (revised version) Database How Useful? 2nd Asian Science & Technology Forum 8 September 2006 Hiroyuki Kameda Visiting Researcher, NIED Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University

2 * Importance of Information Sharing in Disaster Management Example: December 26, Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster Issues raised = a) Early warning: intergovernmental collaboration and b) Mitigation measures: more grass-root and integration efforts (Our concern)

3 Greenbelt technology development (PARI & CDRC: EqTAP project) A week after the event: *An query for information on mangrove effects on tsunami disaster *EqTAP project output - Greenbelt technology: already available Laboratory test West Coast of Aceh (Widjo Kongko, 2005) Coastal project in Sulawesi Island, Indonesia +Needs for database & information mechanism for good technologies

4 Disaster Reduction Technology List compiled by MEXT (GoJ) WG for UN-World Conference on Disaster Reduction, Hyogo-Kobe, January 2005 A prelude to the DRH-Asia Project

5 * Disaster Management Information Platforms +ProVention Cosortium, [ +UN-ISDR (International Strategies for Disaster Reduction, [ +ADRC (Asian Disaster Reduction Center), [ +WMO (World Meteorological Organization), [ +WAMIS (World AgroMeteorological Information Service), [ +NIED K-NET & KiK-Net, [ ; ] +Hotspot (World Bank-Columbia University), [ +NEDIES (Natural and Environmental Disaster Information Exchange System: EC/JRC) [ +Swiss Re, [ +GOLFRE (Global Open Learning Forum for Risk Education), [ +DRH-Asia (Disaster Reduction Hyperbase Asian application: project July 2006-March 2009) [construction site:

6 * Example 1 +ProVention Cosortium, [ Resources Mainstreaming Risk Analysis (guidelines) Recovery (guidelines) Risk Transfer & Private Sector Research & Learning (documents) ProVention Publications (documents) Partner Libraries & Resources Centres Other resources

7 * Example 2 +UN-ISDR, [ Data Resources Country information (demographic info) Disaster statistics (global data) Library on Disaster Reduction (documents) Risk Transfer & Private Sector Terminology of disaster risk reduction Link information Other resources (institutional, activities, etc.) (PreVention Web: under construction)

8 * Example 3 +ADRC, [ Data Resources TDRM Good Practices Glossary on Natural Disasters Technical Information Database (documents) Disaster Information of Member Countries Archives The Great Hanshin-Awaji E.Q. Disasters ADRC Accident and Disaster Database

9 * Example 4 +WMO, [ Data Resources Publications Art gallery Libarry Links

10 * Example 5 +NIED K-NET & KiK-Net, [ ; ] Data Resources Digital strong motion record download site from the K-NET and KiK-Net, a network of about 1,000 seismographs installed throughout Japan (free surface and vertical array)

11 * Example 6 +Hotspot, [ Hotspot project Global distribution of highest-risk disaster hotspots by hazard type (From: Columbia Univ. Earth Institute HP)

12 * Example 7 +NEDIES [ Data Resources Disasters DB Lessons Learning Publications Glossary Links

13 * Example 8 +DRH-Asia, project July 2006-March 2009 [construction site: +Disaster Reduction Hyperbase - Asian Application (DRH-Asia) : MEXT-NIED project + Implementation of HFA adopted at UN- WCDR 2005

14 Database & information mechanism for good technologies that is... + Bases for knowledge and wisdom for disaster reduction incorporating implementation oriented technologies and transferable indigenous knowledge + Conform with Implementation Strategies + An integration of product technology and process technology + Incorporating diverse cultural background + Two-way knowledge base (not one-sided flow from developed countries to developing countries) = Disster Reduction Hyperbase (DRH)

15 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

16 Roadway to Disaster Reduction Hyperbase 1. EqTAP Project (April 1999-March 2004) (R&D) Implementation Strategies in R&D UN-World Conference on Disaster Reduction (January 2005) Hyogo Frame for Action / "Portfolios" proposed by GoJ / Thematic Session 3.6 / "Pilot Project : Japan group 3. DRH Project - Phase I: April 2005-March 2006 Establishing international framework for DRH 4. DRH Project - Phase II: July 2006-March 2009 Production of DRH Disaster Reduction Hyperbase Asian Application * We welcome your active participation and contributions in DRH-Asia!

17 * Features of Disaster Information Databases +Data (disaster records, observed data,...) +Information (hazard, risk, publications,...) +Knowledge (R&D outputs (show cases),...) +Wisdom (implementation oriented technologies, transferable indigenous knowledge...)

18 (proposed) Workshop on Information Platforms for Disaster Reduction (2007) to discuss: * Identification of specific features and roles of individual platforms * Enhancement of complementary roles and allied links * Establishing scheme of collaboration * Implementation strategies for disaster reduction practice: stakeholder participation

19 * Characteristics of Asian Disasters * Versatility and high frequency (68% of world loss) / Dense population / North-South issues * Bias to response rather than mitigation volcano population density earthquake typhoon-cyclon tsunami GDP density floods, slope failure, drought, etc.
