Application of Big Data and Open Data to Emergency Preparedness Chinese Taipei The 9th EPWG meeting, Lima, Peru, February 20-21, 2016 The project aims at Co-sponsoring economies: Chile, China, Indonesia, Japan, the United States and Viet Nam 1 2 3 4 To investigate current status of application and demands of data through a region-wide survey; To develop a roadmap of capacity building on assisting member economies in establishing big data; To promote open data for creating safer trade environment; To formulate a mechanism sharing open data to strengthen emergency preparedness and develop a roadmap to promote. 1
Sceince and technology Understandable knowledge People s mindset Take actions The major challenges Transformation Interpretation Perception In order to apply Big data and Open data for better emergency preparedness, the major challenges to overcome 1. Volume: overwhelming amount of data sets, how to identify relationship for integration 2. Velocity: during urgent moments, pop-up situations and information could hamper decision making 3. Variety: different and diverse data sets are required to delivered information or maps by request 4. Verification: duplications or rumors from difference sources need rules and synergy to focus real issues Target applications of big data and open data NOGs Risk communication at communities Easily understandable Evacuation To tell routes, shelters and risk potential Clearly to take actions Emergency operation Decision making, common operating picture Integrated products Risk assessment To be reference of insurance or risk identification Prepare for multiple hazards Urban planning and land use To control risks Sustainability Business continuity plan To protect employees, estates and profits Private sector s involvement Drill To set up scenarios with different levels of risk Connect all stakeholders Making plans To enhance resilience, preparedness, responses and recovery Before, during and after a disaster 2

Outcomes of the project To summon the expert meetings with participation by the PDC, ADRC, ADPC, USAID, Manila Observatory and NCDR to understand regional demands. To explore regional gaps to understand regional current status, needs, gaps and best practices of application big data and open data on emergency preparedness. To host a training workshop APEC Workshop on Application of Big Data and Open Data in Chinese Taipei. To share knowledge and best practices through the APEC EPWG satellite website Impacts and Outcomes 1. To enhance public-private partnership on data collection and sharing 2. To provide information for planning 3. To accelerate APEC crossfora synergy on global supply chain resilience 4. To introduce standardized protocols on emergency alerts Sidelights on the Workshop & Expert Meeting Agenda and Topic APEC Workshop on Application of Big Data and Open Data October 29th 30th, 2015 Session 1: Big datasets for disaster risk reduction Session 2: Regional projects to improve digital emergency preparedness Session 3: Practical applications of Big Data or Open Data Session 4: Synergies with industry, private sector and crowdsourcing APEC Expert Meeting on Big Data and Open Data to Emergency Preparedness July 28 th, 2015 Session 5: Challenges to embrace the new trend 4
Workshop on Application of Big Data and Open Data Venue: Taipei, Date: October 29-30, 2015 81 from 13 APEC economies attended the event Chile, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Chinese Taipei, Singapore, Thailand, the United States and Viet Nam. This workshop invited exporters, researchers, emergency responders, practitioners and private sector to illustrate the policy making and implementation on integrated technology and emergency preparedness Invited speakers from FEMA, BNBP Indonesia, Earthquake and Volcano Data Center, The Asia Foundation, APEC Climate Center, Asian Disaster Reduction Center, Asian Disaster Preparedness Center, SMART, GISTDA and etc. Keynote speeches Feedback for the APEC Secretariat In order to collect more cross-fora supports including speakers and participants, steps are adopted by the Project Overseer: 1. To conduct cross-fora circulations for getting attention by other APEC working groups. For example, this workshop has sent information to APEC TELWG to get linkage. 2. To collecting regional collaborations by inviting appropriate institutes under APEC practices. This project has invited several prominent regional institutes to help to identify regional gaps on open data and big data that gave positive impacts on project implementation. 3. To engage more female participations by building linkages with the Policy Partnership on Women and the Economy (PPWE). After knowing the ongoing project under PPWE though reports published by the APEC Secretariat, the project contacted local contact window of PPEW to attend the workshop. It both met requirements of gender balance and cross-fora collaboration. 5
