Victims of Tsunami were mostly the

Ageing People

70 % of persons injured during big

disasters (such as

earthquakes ,Tsunami and

typhoons) and 50% of traffic

accident

Questions

› Which information is most necessary for you in case of severe typhoon, earthquake, terrorism attack or new type of multiple disaster

› Which tool will you use to collect necessary information in case of following severe disasters?

Results

› Especially, they requires information on the location of refugees, the scale of disaster.

› There is great demand on using mobile phone

For people in their 70s information have to be provided through fixed-

line phone and brochures. 1 in four senior persons uses brochures for

gathering information

70s are not accustomed to mobile phone usage as a means of

collecting information. The mobile phone is used by 12.9 percent of

the respondents in this group. Only 3.4% of the seniors in their 70s

can take advantage of the mobile Internet, while majority of the mobile

phone users limit their usage experience to certain features and

functions such as voice mail. 17

• reduced costs and development of ICT based innovations for people with special needs

• specific sectors such as robotics, health, tele-working and social care will enjoy additional benefits.

Economic impact

• Introduction of a capacity building model for trainers in developing nations

• ICT literacy, employment creation for and skills upgrading of senior and handicapped workers in developing nations

Capacity building

•democratic empowerment and social inclusion of people with special needs

•Accessibility, affordability,

•availability,

•Usability, International cooperation of digital inclusion

Social impact

Vulnerability Assessment

› Critical for disaster preparedness because It establishes a

data base towards understanding the levels of potential

threats, needs and immediately available resources

› Information is sent decision-makers to design their disaster

management plan

The data collection can be structured by ICT

Reliable information system

› The coordination of all different information sources to have an effective preparedness plan

› There is a need to have clear-cut guidelines, reporting formats and mechanisms as well as established reporting procedures

› It is essential to link the disaster preparedness focal point to the inter-ministerial committee and to exchange information among agencies

These requirements can be ensured by ICT

Training Methods

› An interactive process of common learning between community of people and institutions.

› Training should be active in every way possible.

ICT is a crucial means for local communities around the world to communicate effectively
