II. Regional Plan of Action on Applications of Space and GIS for Disaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development, 2012-2017



ØThe Plan of Action is divided into 5 sections

• The Preamble

• Towards Disaster Risk Reduction

• Towards Sustainable Development

• Finance and Resources

• The Way Forward

ØTwo thematic areas are divided to showcase work to be done at the

• Regional and Subregional Level

• National Level



ØA Ministerial Conference was proposed to be organized in 2015 to evaluate progress made and provide further guidance for the successful implementation of the Plan of Action and to build stronger political support and ownership among all stakeholders.

ØThe secretariat has been given huge mandate to harmonize and enhance existing regional initiatives and pool expertise and resources at regional and subregional levels; act as a clearing house for good practices and lessons; and take the lead at the regional level in implementing the Plan of Action.

7 Priority Areas ESCAP’s Regional Cooperative Mechanism for Drought Monitoring and Early Warning

RESAP networks for Education and Training for remote sensing & GIS applications in agricylture and food security

Harmonizing the regional/international cooperation mechanisms (International Charter, Sentinel Asia, UNITAR, UNSPIDER) in support of more effectice disaster reponse to the member Countries

Networking with RESAP members for access to satellite data in the event of major disasters

Building the capacity for geo-spatial disaster information in the specific context of countries with spacial needs.

RESAP networks for Education and Training for space applications in DRR/M



III. Regional Space Applications Programme (RESAP)

Ø Space applications for DRR / M is addressed by ESCAP in both sectoral and multi-sectoral approaches, through its flagship programme (RESAP) .

Ø RESAP aims to promote the use of space applications for inclusive, resilient and sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.

Ø Strengthen regional cooperation and networking of the space agencies in the region.

- Disaster risk reduction and management

- Natural resources management

- Connectivity





Logistical arrangements endorsed by the 16th

RESAP ICC:

ØESCAP secretariat will be the ad hoc secretariat of the Mechanism.

ØService Nodes to be established in different regions. The first service node is expected to be hosted in China.

ØSupport on images data and products from India, Thailand and other RESAP members.

ØCapacity building offered by ISRO, GISTDA, NRSC and related stakeholders.

q (Survey 1) Compendium of Regional Space Capabilities

Ø Up-to-date the previous Compendium

Ø A draft Questionnaire was sent NFPs for initial feedback and final distribution

Ø To identify Available Resources and current status of National Capabilities in major space applications areas;

(a) National Institution and Space Programmes, (b) EO satellite, (c) Space-based Positioning, (d) Satellite Communication

Ø Setup a web-based survey system to help NFPs input, save and update the data/information at any time by authorized person through password control

Survey Frameworks for Compendium and Needs analysis

q (Survey 2) RS applications Needs

Ø To identify End Users’ Needs of RS applications

Ø In 9 major application fields

(1) Natural disasters, (2) Water Resource, (3) Natural resource,

(4) Environment, (5) Agriculture, (6) Transportation, etc

Ø What types of data & applications are used currently?

Ø What types of data & applications are needed?

Ø Other technical/human resource need to be supported

Ø Provide basic information for Gap Analysis consolidated with

ESCAP initiative: Improving disaster risk preparedness in the ESCAP region

Ø ESCAP has embarked on a UNDA project entitled “Improving disaster risk preparedness in the ESCAP region”.

Ø The project aims to support the establish and use geo-reference/geospatial information at natinoal level and strengthen the capacity of governments (disaster management authorities) in Asia-Pacific region (LDCs, LLDCs, SIDS, and some high risk developingcountries), in the implementation of the HFA through the use of geo-referenced/geospatial information tools for disaster risk preparedness, and timely early recovery.

Ø Enhance the capacity of ESCAP member states towards managing thedisaster risks more efficiently and effectively, and reduce losses, and build resilience to hazards through the use/sharing of standardized geo-spatial information among and within the countries.



22

On-going Activities

Ø Prototype of the national geo-DRM portals for Mongolia, Cook Islands and other countries.

Ø Linkage with regional level network (Asia-pacific Gateway for DRM) and Community of Practice (COP) .

Ø Dialogue with sub-regional organizations (SAARC DMC, ASEAN AHA, SOPAC), to develop geo-DRM portal based on existing knowledge networks.

Ø Capacity development activities: Awareness building workshop for countries in subregions;

Ø In-depth training for selected countries including for those countries where geo-DRM portals will be established;
