Key challenges and difficulties in improving disaster risk preparedness and management

v Limitation on capacity building in Human Resources and also Infrastructures v Limitation on availability of High Resolution satellite images v Lack of technologies in risk assessment based on RS and GIS technologies v Although government budget spend significant financial resources

• n preparedness, mitigation and response at every year, we have

still the challenges in comprehensive disaster database. v There is also lack of effective systems to monitor the disasters and archive disaster related data, and the mechanism to engage multiple stakeholders in information management processes. v Lack on cooperation with national and regional agencies to establish Geo-portal based on GIS technologies
