• Socio-Economic Data and Potential Integration in DRRM

• Planned Future Actions

DRRM Efforts (Examples)

• UP DOST NOAH Project

• UP DOST DREAM Program

• UNDP CCC Project Rebuild

NOAH Project

Component Projects

•Hydromet Sensors Development•DREAM-LIDAR 3-D Mapping Project•Flood NET-Flood Modeling Project•Hazards Information Media

– Strategic Communication Intervention– Disaster Management using WebGIS

•Enhancing Geo-hazards Mapping through LIDAR•Doppler System Development•Landslide Sensors Development Project•Storm Surge Inundation Mapping Project•Weather Information - Integration for System Enhancement (WISE)

National Operational Assessment of Hazards

Accomplishments

• Web-based and mobile-based platforms (mobile apps) of noah.dost.gov.ph

• A central active repository of hazards and disaster-related information in the form of a disaster information geo-database system.

• Prototype I of Moses Tablet developed and launched. 70 units for distribution in Metro Manila preferably to barangays and PAGASA Regional Directors

Disaster Management using WEB-GISObjective

To provide robust visualization of geospatial data where the end-users can avail of near real-time high resolution hazards and disaster-related information as an important tool for decision- making.

DREAM Program

• High-resolution data sets, especially for the flood plains

• Flood models è estimates of flood levels and inundation patterns è early (6-hour) warning system

• Exposure Data: Feature extraction (structures) from LiDAR data sets.

Nationwide Disaster Risk Exposure Assessment for Mitigation (DREAM) Program

Satellite-based Monitoring of Rehabilitation in Typhoon-effected Regions (SMARTER Visayas)

Objectives

To acquire high-resolution satellite multispectral satellite imagery through a dedicated tasking services (DTS) for rapid assessment of the damages (e.g. infrastructures, natural resources)

Expected Outputs

• Geocoding of damaged areas and rehabilitation in 171 municipalities and cities, at least within 50 kms from the path of the eye of the typhoon, equivalent to 26,800 sq.km.

• Basic datasets in GIS compatible format linked to population data, administrative boundaries of barangay, municipalities and cities.

INFORMATION NEEDED TO MITIGATE DISASTERS:

What resources exist where?

Which resources are exposed and vulnerable to hazards?

How to protect and conserve resources?

THESE DETAILED INFORMATION ARE NEEDED BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ANDLOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS FOR BETTER PLANNING AND DECISION MAKING.

Characteristics and status of these resources?

Project ReBUILD

Resilience Capacity Building for Cities and Municipalities to Reduce Disaster Risks from Climate Change and Natural Hazards

Expected Outputs:•Climate/disaster risk vulnerabilities of the Cagayan River Basin (Region 2 and CAR) and the Jalaur River Basin (Region 6), including cities and municipalities around these river basins assessed;•Priority climate/disaster mitigation actions for priority cities and municipalities around the Cagayan and Jalaur River Basins developed;•Climate/disaster risk management mainstreamed into the planning and regulatory processes of cities/municipalities within and around the Cagayan and Jalaur River Basins;•Socio-economic resilience of the poor and most vulnerable in Cagayan and Jalaur River Basins Developed; and•Local knowledge management (KM) systems for communities around the Cagayan and Jalaur River Basins established.

Socio-Economic Data

• National Statistics Office (NSO)

• National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)

• National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC)

• Local Government Units (LGUs)

– Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS)

CBMS

• Community-Based Monitoring System– CBMS aims to design and pilot community-based systems

for monitoring poverty in its multidimensional sense

• CBMS provides– Local-level census of poverty indicators

– Detailed measurement of many dimensions of poverty

– Identification of households that are poor in each dimension

– Systematic source of data (household and member level)

– Georeferencing (sometimes)

Socio-Economic Data

Planned Actions

• Exposure Data è Understanding vulnerabilities, Use of CBMS Data in DRRM, Incorporating DRRM in CBMS Data

• Build and enhance the capacities of LGUs and communities to collect, collate, update and analyze spatial data

Capacity Building Training on Applications of GIS and Geospatial Data Management for DRR in the

Philippines

Planned Actions Towards the End of 2014

• GIS, Geoportal appreciation course for LGU executives

• GIS Training for LGUs

• UAS/UAV for DRRM
