Remote sensing of the Earth, meteorological and environmental monitoring and natural disaster management

Natural disaster management was a huge challenge for the countries concerned and the Subcommittee had therefore examined the possibility of creating an international space coordination entity for disaster management.

The increased attention to natural disaster management called for at the national and international levels is clearly justified.

Noting the critical role played by local resources, and by existing in country capacities, in natural disaster management and risk reduction, disaster response, rehabilitation and development,

Greater awareness in respect of natural disaster risk management planning and capacity building at the national level will be crucial.

(f) Disaster management

Space technologies and information support for natural disaster management are being developed in the Russian Federation along the following priority lines

The Puebla Panama Plan included a natural disaster prevention and mitigation initiative, which incorporated risk management considerations in projects in all sectors.

Noting the critical role played by local resources, as well as by existing in country capacities, in natural disaster response and risk management,

CARICOM supported the Disaster Management Programme of UN Habitat, which helped Governments, local authorities and local populations deal with natural or man made disasters.

The Risk and Disaster Management Programme provides local government, communities and business organizations with practical strategies for mitigating and recovering from conflicts and natural disasters.

Integrated natural resource management

In addition to the economic and social losses incurred, the report before the session also reviewed national and regional experiences in disaster management and preparedness and examined emerging issues in regional cooperation in natural disaster reduction.

Urges Governments, in planning for disaster preparedness and responding to natural disasters, to integrate a gender perspective as well as to ensure that women take an active and equal role in all phases of disaster management

It was important to pay keen attention to water resource management and adequate sanitation and to develop effective early warning systems for preventing natural disaster risks.

Water quality, ecosystem management and disaster prevention

(c) Environmental rehabilitation recovery products, including natural disaster recovery and assessments, environmental recovery and rehabilitation, water resources management, alternative livelihoods (e.g., in DDR or counter narcotics programmes).

This is the largest metropolitan area disaster in decades, and it was not a natural disaster it was a disaster of engineering.

(c) United Nations Algeria European Space Agency International Seminar on the Use of Space Technology for Disaster Management Prevention and Management of Natural Disasters, held in Algiers from 22 to 26 May (A AC.105 852)

First, the tsunami disaster illustrated the lack of a systematic disaster management framework, including disaster mitigation measures, in many countries.

Recommendations of the Action Team on Disaster Management

Restoring proper management of natural resources

(b) Requirements in the poorest countries with weak infrastructure and operations management capacity, and in countries emerging from conflict or natural disaster, for recuperation of damaged or destroyed infrastructure

(c) Increased participation in training seminars on disaster management, improved field and regional cooperation in disaster management and increased donor response to inter agency appeals.

That unprecedented natural disaster affected millions of lives in many countries.

Specific findings of the Action Team on Disaster Management

Building space based systems specifically to support disaster management

Almost one year ago, South East Asia suffered an unprecedented natural disaster.

Recognising the importance of disaster preparedness and management for mitigating the impacts of natural calamities and the need for continued efforts by the international community to enhance awareness in this regard.

Disaster management is a complex portfolio, and though most countries have an established national disaster management agency, the magnitude of the disaster is sometimes way beyond their capabilities hence the apparent state of paralysis which follows.
