9 Disaster Occurrences 2014 Summary of Statistics Impact Deaths / Missing Injured Affected Population 574,130 2,702,545 Houses Destroyed 741 5,312 Houses Damaged 10,048 1,9495 Data Source:

10 Disaster Risk Management leveraging ICT We are unable to prevent natural hazards occurring, However, We can prevent it from becoming a disaster, increasingly, by leveraging ICT

11 Disaster Risk Management leveraging ICT Near real time Satellite and Airborne information

12 Disaster Risk Management leveraging ICT Natural Hazard Attributes Time? of Hazard occurrences Location? Spatial Component Source (point, line or area) Area of Impact (line or area) Community, Media, Police and Military Authorities, Disaster Management Authorities Action - Emergency Operations - Evacuations - Rescue Operations Near real time Satellite and airborne information Can capture large extent spatially; and able to - identify source, - area of impact, and - further development

13 Sentinel Asia Concept Facility to receive near real time satellite imageries is limited A regional initiative named Sentinel Asia was initiated to overcome this obstacle Satellite Observation Information Provision Natural Hazard Data Utilization Space Agencies Human Network Disaster Management Agencies

14 Sentinel Asia WINDS Implementation Sentinel Asia Step2 system adopts idea of local mirroring, and will transfer data from Japan Central Sever to local mirrored server via WINDS and Internet. High speed communication ~51Mbps (shared by users) WINDS Regional Server and WINDS Antenna has been Re-Installed and tested on Feb 2015 Central Server

15 Summary of Operations Disaster Type Activation Requested Observation Conducted Map Disseminated Peak Time of Disaster 1 Floods 17th Dec Dec 2009 No map generated 16 Dec 2009 Result Un successful due to cloud 2 Floods 17 May May May May 2010 Successful 3 Floods 08 Dec Dec Dec Dec 2010 Successful 4 Floods 11 Jan Jan Jan Jan 2011 Successful 5 Floods 04 Feb Feb Feb Feb 2011 Successful 4 Landslide 01 Nov Nov 2014 Not generated 30 Oct 2014 Observation was Successful Results was not Successful

21 UAV Technology for disaster monitoring UAVs Allow: Extreme Altitude Flight Continuous flight for hours to days No pilot on board Real-time telemetry capabilities Digital Imaging Sensors

22 Disaster Risk Management leveraging ICT Early Warning Dissemination

23 Technical Agencies involved in issuing warnings Department of Meteorology (DOM) National Building Research Organization (NBRO) Irrigation Department (IRD) Coast Conservation Department (CCD) National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency (NARA) Geological Survey & Mines Bureau (GSMB) Health Department (Epidemiology Unit)

24 Multi-Hazards Warning Dissemination System PWTS & JMA DOM NBRO NARA DOI GSMB CCD Atomic Energy Authority Regional & International Organizations Receiving Early Warnings Government Agencies, Critical Agencies & Stakeholders Police Media & General Public Military UN System, INGOs, NGOs Provincial Councils District Secretariats Divisional Secretariats Local Authorities Police Stations Hospitals Government Dpt.

Committee Village level DM Committees Out Puts Speaker Sys. Bells / Sirens Messengers Riders / Cyclers Radio Comm SLT/ Dialog, SMS Fax Internet Satellite com Cell Broad. Police Com Military Com Warning Towers DEWNS Radio / TV

25 Description of information communication technologies Conventional methods such as telephone/ fax / mobile phones fast, low maintenance cost and easy to use. But could beak-down or become ineffective during emergencies due to congestion 25

26 Multi Hazard EW Towers Fast, reliable, centrally controllable; currently 77 established Situated in coastal areas within approximately m from the sea shore Have a covering radius of km Could control through telephone and satellite 26

27 27

28 Disaster Early Warning Network (DEWN) (sponsored and service provided by telecom service providers) Cell broadcasting SMS DEWN Communication Device 28

29 Near Real Time Landslide Early Warning NBRO LANDSLIDE WARNING Traditional communication systems in villages Public Announcements through Radio, TV (Cyclones, Floods, Landslides) Public Evacuation 26/05/

30 Disaster Risk Management leveraging ICT Information sharing among stakeholder organizations (Data sharing and collaboration)

31 Components of Hazard Profile Floods Landslides Drought Cyclone Lightning Department of Irrigation National Building Research Organization Department of Agriculture Department of Meteorology Tsunami Sea Level Rise Storm Surge Coastal Erosion Coast Conservation Department

32 Data Sharing is Important!!! Organization Disaster Management Centre Role in Disaster Management Information Warning / Information Dissemination up to local level Primary Information Collected Feedback from citizen on 117 Disaster occurrences ( Data Source Crowed sourcing Manual observation Department of Meteorology Weather forecast Tsunami Warning Cyclone Warning Rain, temperature and wind speed measurement Rain gauges Weather stations National Building Research Organization Landslide Warning Rain fall Rain gauges Irrigation Department River Flood Warning River flaw Rain fall Mahaweli Authority Reservoir Water Reservoir water level Level Information / Spill Gate Opening River gauges Rain gauges Water level sensors

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

34 Best Practices Hazard Maps Storm Surge Mannar Floods Kalu River

35 Buildings might affected by Tsunami Building Exposed to Tsunami 20% 28% 52% High Moderate Low Tsunami Level # Buildings High 7854 Moderate 4280 Low 3052 Total buildings 32,000 Total tsunami affected buildings 15,000

36 Early Warning Network Observation Information Transfer NARA IRD Observation DOI Data Analysis DOM CCD Information Transfer Community District DMC NBRO Evacuation Warning Warning Police Media Intra-government Network 26/05/
