Earthquake Nature

Almost unpredictable disaster

No early warning

But we can protect ourselves &

minimize the damage to our

homes, schools & work places by

using Information Technology

Time to Learn

In many areas of the world, like Pakistan and Iran,

earthquake is the feature of our life

Just we need is understanding the nature and

characteristics of the earthquake

We should learn how be prepared and what weshould do when it happens.

Use the Right Technology!

Technologies

Remote Sensing Systems

Geographic Information System

Global Positioning System Warning and Forecasting System

Internet

Communication Technology


20/35

REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM

Set of techniques used to obtain information about

the earths surface and atmosphere at somedistance , usually by means of radiation from the

electro-magnetic spectrum.

e.g Earth Observation and Weather satellites


21/35

Geographic Information System (GIS)

It is a computer system capable ofintegrating, storing, editing, analyzing,

sharing, and displaying geographically-referenced information.

e.g.

GIS can allow emergency planners to

easily calculate emergency responsetimes in the event of a natural disaster


22/35

Role of GIS and Remote Sensing in various disasters

Earthquake

Floods

Landslides Search and Rescue


23/35

Global Positioning System

User at any point on or near theEarths can obtain instantaneous

three-dimensional coordinates

of their location.

Makes it possible to pinpoint the location of damage

sites and floodplains.

24/35

Warning and Forecasting System

Forecasting, monitoring andissuing early warning plays

the most significant role indetermining whether a naturalhazard will assume disastrousproportions or not.

Flood

Cyclone

Earthquake warning station


25/35

Potentially revolutionary option for :

Rapid, automatic and global dissemination of disaster

information.

e.g. RISEPAK - Relief Information System forEarthquakes Pakistan

Award Winning under Public Administrationcategory by

Stockholm Challenge 2005-2006

Easy way to disseminate the information related to: Weather observations

Forecasts

Satellite and other data

Internet


26/35

Communication Technology

Communication Technology is recognized as an integralto disaster management for a long time which include:

Internet Mobile Phones

Fax

E-Mail

Radio and Television

HAM Radio

Can be effectively used in mitigation, preparedness,response and recovery.


27/35

Natural Disasters would keep happening, wecannot avoid them, so lets prepare ourselves.

Lets build a Disaster Management Information

System..............


28/35

Information Systems required to manage Disasters

Critical Incident Management System

Supply Chain Management System

Disaster Information System Integrated Financial Management System

Applicant Assistance Centers

Computer Networks

e.g IBM Crises Management System, SAHANA inCollaboration with NADRA Pakistan


29/35

In the coming years the new technologies in

communication and information will potentially

redefine the conventional disaster management

system.


30/35

CONCLUSION Recognizing the fact that hazard mitigation pays high social and economicdividends.

Carry out the engineering, architecture and planning measures

-Risk Assessment

-Land use zoning

-Planning of habitat

-Implementation of building codes

Create the supportive structure of

-public awareness

-education and training

-research and development about the safety from natural disasters

Appropriate policy, financial and institutional support at national and statelevels need to be provided for putting this strategy into a workable actionplan.


31/35

The international community should demonstrate strong politicaldetermination required to mobilize adequate and make efficientuse of existing resources, including financial, scientific andtechnological means, in the field of natural disaster reduction,bearing in mind the needs of the developing countries, particularly

the least developed countries.
