Opportunities and Challenges• Open data, open-source, open platform: sharing and organically

growing data, tools and resources for worldwide use• Building DRR applications on top of the tools and resources that

end-users need

• How to develop capacity in countries, provinces, cities to reliably use the advanced tools for hazard, risk and integrated seismic risk assessment – long term investment

• How to facilitate interdisciplinary and institutional collaboration between experts in the various domains

• Once there is capacity; to connect the policy makers with the experts to work together on management and assessment strategies

Added value for the Post 2015 Framework for DRR

• How is GEM supporting the implementation of the HFA?– Open tools and resources to empower institutions and organisations

in identifying, assessing and monitoring disaster risks– Leveraging science for the benefit of society– Example of a successful public-private collaboration and concrete

partnership examples for application

• Main gaps, needs and further steps to be addressed in HFA2– Research: learning from the past – investing in long-term studies– Education & Training: see previous slide– Implementation & Practice: opening up of data and approaches,

sharing and comparison– Policy: mainstreaming of DRR by incorporating risk assessment in the

decision-making process, public-private collaboration
