2 Roles and Relationships Land and Geographic Information Systems (LGIS) Unit: Establish updated high-resolution Land and Geographic Information Systems to support land, risk and hazard management National Emergency Management Office Provide GIS information for the Environment and Climate Change Division to support biodiversity conservations and the increasing resilience to climate change Others GEO-DRM STATUS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GEO-DRM? Ministry of Lands, Environment, Climate Change & Natural Resources (MLECCNR) is responsible for provision of Geospatial Information for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRM) The GIS Section, MLECCNR provides geospatial information; The Geological Services Unit, MLECCNR provides seismic information and tsunami threat assessments. 2
