Task Definition


Define and implement an integrated and comprehensive approach to systematically address all risk and disaster phases, including risk assessment and mapping. Support ISDR in the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for action and promote the development of a Disasters Community of Practice (CoP) that would provide guidance for activities and initiatives in the Disasters societal benefit area (the Disasters CoP would include existing hazard-thematic CoPs such as the Geohazards CoP).

Contribution to Outputs and Activities Above

Norway

NGI: If the project is not closed for participation NGI can contribute with information to a summary document about the current practices in multi-risk management in Norway.

USA

NOAA: The NOAA Pacific Services Center (PSC) developed How Resilient is your Coastal Community? A Guide to Evaluating Coastal Community Resilience to Tsunamis and Other Hazards while in the Indian Ocean Region as part of the US Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System Program. The NOAA Coastal Services Center and PSC are working to adapt the guide for use in the US. Also, they are developing a ten day training entitled: “Planning for Climate Change in the Coastal and Marine Environment”.

CEOS

ESA: Demonstrate a global operational volcanic ash alert system for aviation hazard avoidance. Improved algorithms, improved data latency, and the addition of EUMETSAT/SEVIRI data is planned.

ISPRS
