• What is ADPC?
• What is SERVIR?
• SERVIR-Mekong: Objectives and overview of geospatial tools and services for disaster management
More information: www.adpc.net
What is ADPC?• An independent non-governmental organization established in 1986, headquartered in Bangkok,
Thailand
• Contributes to making Asia-Pacific safer by strengthening disaster resilience at all levels
• Cooperates closely with local, national and regional governments, governmental and non-governmental organizations, donors and development partners
• Works in eighteen economies in Asia, including Vietnam
• Hosting SERVIR-Mekong and recently established Department of Geospatial Information

Partnership between USAID and NASA
Establishes long-term regional hubs to provide geo-spatial tools to decision makers based on a free and open source basis
Identifies, addresses and resolves data and information challenges
Focuses on climate change and implications on land use, agriculture, biodiversity, disasters, health, water and weather

Priority Needs Identified:
1. Land cover mapping support
2. Early warning systems
3. Water resources management
4. Crop yield forecasting
REGIONAL GEO-SPATIAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Gender analysis
SADD data collection
GEO referenced observations for data
GENDER AND GIS GUIDANCE NOTE
Developed to document the historical dynamics of seasonal flooding cycles on the Mekong RiverUses include: • Dam impact assessment• flood risk assessment for disaster
preparedness • identifying areas of permanent water• water resources management applications
• Service being presently co-developed with RRD in Myanmar
SURFACE WATER MAPPING TOOL
Provides near real-time rainfall and stream height data from publicly available satellite measurements by creation of a virtual network of rain gauges and stream gauges at points widely distributed over the entire Lower Mekong Region
Cambodia’s DHRW is planning to use this tool for improving its hydrological models
VIRTUAL RAIN AND STREAM GAUGE INFORMATION SERVICE
Can assist local governments and the agricultural sector with seasonal drought forecasting and in implementing short and long-term mitigation measures during and in advance of droughts
• Vietnam’s VAWR is planning to use this service starting with a test pilot study
• MRC is planning to integrate this for their drought services
REGIONAL DROUGHT INFORMATION SYSTEM
• Developed collaboratively• Produces consistent products at regular intervals• Serves the expressed needs of multiple users• Uses transparent, well documented open source
approach• Includes quality control / assurance
methodology• MRC plans to use this tool for updating its land
use model for more accurate hydrological modeling and flood forecasting
• Myanmar and Vietnam plan to use this for UNFCCC and FAO for annual reporting
REGIONAL LAND COVER MONITORING SYSTEM
Forests

Agriculture
Land Cover Map
REGIONAL LAND COVER MONITORING SYSTEM
Made possible by connecting the user interface with Google Earth Engine. making formerly heavy analyses time and cost effective for users
Promising applications such as:• Providing insight into changes
related to climate change• Urban expansion• Infrastructure development
ECO-DASH
Geospatial Data Repository
Allows any user to see and download the inundation area of a potential dam given only the location and height of the dam
Can provide insight into the costs and benefits of potential dams and, in some cases, facilitate a preliminary assessment of dam options
DAM INUNDATION TOOL
Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS)
SERVIR-Mekong and ADPC are presently exploring the use of GNSS technology for disaster management applications
Building regional capacity in remote sensing, geospatial analysis and GIS

Recommendations
• Earth Observations and Geospatial Technology play a key role in providing various key services useful for Disaster Management
• SERVIR-Mekong is presently developing related disaster management services for economies in the Lower Mekong regionincluding addressing issues related to droughts and floods
• Further technology including use of GNSS are being explored
• We welcome your feedback, discussions and suggestions towards collaborative engagements
