1 DISASTER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Sri Lanka 15 March Partnership Meeting Global Centre for Disaster Statistics SRIMAL SAMANSIRI ASSISTANT DIRECTOR R&D DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRE

2 Overview Country Arrangement for SFDRR and future Reporting Current practices of Disaster Statistics in SL Overview of National Risk Assessment Conclusions

3 Preparation for SFDRR in Sri Lanka Ministry of Disaster Management together with Disaster Management Centre and with cooperation of stakeholder agencies in the process of developing short and medium term action plan based on SFDRR Setting country level targets: Reduce Number of Affected People Deaths Economic losses Annual average economic loss 380 million US$ as per 2014, - Source: World Bank / GFDRR Annual average deaths (Hydrometeorological disasters approx. 125)

4 National Damage and Loss Database (Desinventar) The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) with technical and financial support from the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) programme of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UNDP Regional Centre in Bangkok (RCB) has initiated the development of a database on the past disaster incidents from 1974 to date. The Disaster Information Management System is a sustainable arrangement within an institution for the systematic collection, documentation and analysis of data about losses caused by natural and man maid disasters. UNDP has handed over the operation in 2011 and thereafter, DMC is maintaining the database to date.

5 Data Sources Daily Situation Reports (EOC published Situation Reports) News Papers and other media reports Stakeholder organizations (Wildlife, Forest, Central Environment Authority etc)

6 Work Flaw Collect Daily data from DMC Sitreps and other sources Check data for incident basis Provisional entry of the records Record Validation And updates Update the online server

11 Distribution of Damage & Losses Number of Affected Population Number of Deaths Number of Houses Damaged and Destroyed Highlights of Disaster Damage and Losses During Highest deaths are reported in Ampara District (Tsunami 2004) Highest number of population affected in Batticaloa District (due to floods and cyclone) and Kurunegala Ditrict (by Drought) Housing damge is prominent in Batticaloa and Jaffna Districts

12 Selection of District by Level of Damage ( Floods Houses District Deaths Injured Missing Destroyed Damaged Affected Ampara Batticaloa Colombo Gampaha Jaffna Kalutara Matara Ratnapura Drought District Affected Hambantota Kurunegala Moneragala Puttalam Ratnapura Batticaloa Landslide District Deaths Injured Missing Destroyed Houses Damaged Affected Badulla Kandy Kegalle Matale Nuwara Eliya Ratnapura

14 Annual Reports Impact Change (%) Deaths / Missing Injured Affected Population Houses Destroyed Houses Damaged Flood Landslides high winds Drought lightning Drowning Coastal Erosion Fire Chemical Animal Attack It was observed that the number of occurrences of major disasters has been increased in 2014 compared to 2012 and Number of Floods and Landslide events has been triggered by both South West and North-East monsoon periods. Flood / Landslide in South Western June / July NE Monsoon Landslide Meeriyabedda October Inter-monsoon Flood / Landslide North East Monsoon in December

15 Temporal Distribution 2014 South West Monsoon (SWM) and North East Monsoon (NEM) spells were responsible for considerable amount of deaths, injuries and damage to the housing sector. Total houses damaged and destroyed in both the SWM and NEM were 4,689 and 17,957 respectively. Three peaks of deaths and injuries were observed during SWM (June/July), NEM (December)and in the Meeriyabedda landslide(october) incident respectively. Highest amount of affected population is reported in month of August which is approximately 1.5 million due to drought in the North, East Uva provinces, including Hambantota and Kurunegala Districts.

16 Spatial Distribution 2014 Distribution of Affected Population Distribution of Damaged / Destroyed Houses Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Polonnaruwa, Moneragala and Hambantota ranks the highest in number of population affected during Kalutara, Puttalam, Kurunegala and Jaffna are the other districts in which significant number of population were affected. Kilinochchi, Mullaittivu, Polonnaruwa, Batticaloa, Badulla districts ranks highest number of housing damages.

17 Desinventar Users There is no mechanism to find who is using the database and generate statistics of users DMC provide free technical assistance on request Members of Parliament Local and foreign University students (Undergraduate / Master) Ministry of Finance Sri Lanka Land Reclamation Development Corporation Road Development Authority Urban Development Authority World Bank Local Insurance companies

19 Best Practices Hazard Maps National hazard maps for 09 hazards are available at Tsunami Hazard - Batticaloa

24 New Project on National Risk Assessment Duration : 48 Months Risk Map Development for - Riverine Flood 7 River basins (world Bank -> 11) - Urban Flood 23 Urban Cities - Tsunami (entire coast) - Storm Surge (entire coast) - Drought - Strong Winds / Cyclone

25 07 River Basins Mundeni Aru Basin (1475 sqkm) Kirindi (1230 sqkm) Mi Oya (113 sqkm) Yan Oya Basin (1782 sqkm) Walawe Ganga Basin (2596 sqkm) Kalu Ganga (2976 sqkm) Bolgoda Oya (366 sqkm)

26 Issues and Challenges 1. Only few indicators are updated at the moment 2. Difficult to obtain agricultural losses 3. Poor Participation of Stakeholder Agencies therefore, recording economic losses are difficult 4. Issues in Standardization It is high time to agree on basic terms of Affected, Victims, Partial Damage of Houses etc 5. User Friendliness 6. Issues with Database Schema 7. Database administration and software issues 8. No records available on users

27 Recommendations 1. Develop national policy / MoU for disaster damage and loss data collection 2. Develop standards and SoP for Data Collections 3. Re-Design of Database Schema 4. Consider possibility of improving Work Flaw from single source of entry to distributed data entry (Mobile App?) 5. Provide capacity building for Database Administrators, Data Providers and Users Groups
