The Country Context

SLIDE 2

Nepal, the hotspot of Disasters

Nepal is a disaster prone country. Its rugged and fragile geophysical

structure; high peaks, the angular slopes, complex geology, variable climate conditions and active tectonic plates make the country very vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards (UNDP, 2004).

Nepal ranked 20th most disaster prone country in the world

  • Nepal ranked 11th most risk country to earthquakes

Nepal ranked 30th in terms of flooding

  • These are the major recurring disasters in Nepal: Floods, Earthquake,

Landslides, Fire, Drought, GLOF, Avalanches, Hailstone, Windstorm,

Thunderbolt, Cloudburst , Epidemics

Act and regulation for Disaster Management

Natural Calamity Relief Act 1982 (Amended in 1982 & 1992)

  • Water Resources Act 1992

National Action Plan on Disaster reduction 1996

  • Environmental Protection Act 1996

Local self governance act (LSGA, 1999) National Water Resource Strategy, 2002 National Water Plan, 2005 Three Year Interim Plan (2008-2010 )

Rescue and Relief

CNDRC –policy making/ recommendations

  • Nepal emergency operation center-communication and networking.
  • DNDRC,LNDRC-rescue and relief work
  • Nepal police, Nepal Army, Armed Police Force, Nepal Red Cross Society,

I/ NGOS,CBOs.

  • Search and rescue groups.
  • Establishment of relief co-ordination center
  • Assignment of institutions/ persons in charge.
  • Emergency health service.
  • Providing relief goods to victims

Need for Disaster Information Management System (IMS) in Nepal

  • Despite the fact that the Nepal government and

development partners spend significant financial resources

  • n preparedness, mitigation and response every year, a

comprehensive disaster database and a unified system of disaster information dissemination is still a key challenge

  • There is lack of effective systems to monitor and archive

disaster related data, and the mechanism to engage multiple stakeholders in information management processes

10

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Need for Disaster Information Management System (IMS) in Nepal

  • Lack of a standardized national database on disaster for

the implementation of immediate relief measures

  • Ensure that response operations are focused upon the

correct tasks, in the right order of priority

11

Information Required

  • Pre-Disaster Situation: collation and compilation of baseline data of

the country and hazard (to improve the existing knowledge base), risk assessment, prevention, mitigation and preparedness

  • Post-Disaster Situation: Real-time data of the disaster impact and

resource to respond, plan for recovery and rehabilitation.

12

SLIDE 7

Need of Geo-Portal

  • Effectiveness of disaster risk management depends greatly on the

efficiency in managing relevant information. In a disaster situation, authorities always need an up-to-date information, particularly the geospatial information to make decisions and actions quickly and timely

  • There is a need of analyzing geospatial data in a geographical

information system in the form of satellite imagery, and field data alone cannot be analyzed without geo-referenced system.

13

Need of Geo-Portal

  • The majority of information is spatial and can be mapped. Once

information is mapped and data is linked to the map, disaster management planning will be in shape

  • Disaster management personnel can expedite the formulation of

mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery programs on the basis of linkage with geo-information system

  • With the use of GIS, it can be identified the disaster management

needs prior to an incident

Geo-Portal

Geo-Portal is a web-based application and platform for developing geospatial information systems (GIS) and for deploying spatial data infrastructures (SDI). It is designed to be extended and modified, and can be integrated into existing platforms.

16

Data management tools built into Geo-Portal allow for integrated creation of data, metadata, and map visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to only specific users. Social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control of the data the Geo-Portal instance contains.

Features of Geo-Portal

  • It is open source
  • a platform for the management and publication of

geospatial data

  • Provides styling and cartography tools
  • Browse and search for geospatial data and web services
  • Upload, manage, and share geospatial data
  • Create and share interactive maps
  • Collaborate and interact with other users
  • to build the Open Geospatial Web
  • has user profiles and features them prominently
  • Deep data security extends to OGC services

Training

ESCAP is providing us technical support for developing the Geo-portal In the first phase five people from ministry of Home Affairs, Nepal participated in the training at AIT. After developing portal based on the training, ESCAP provide more detailed training to people from Ministry of Home Affairs, National Planning commission, Nepal Police, Armed police force in Kathmandu for establishing the Geo- Portal and data sharing.

Sustainability of the Geo-Portal

MoHA will lead to make the system sustainable Recently conducted a meeting between different nodal ministries In the first week of May we will organize a work shop for uploading the data and documents related to disaster in the portal Involve people for sharing their practices for the disaster risk reduction Planning to conduct training for district level user as they are the major sources of data. Already developed SMS Based System for the alert and notification for the disaster

37

Expectation from ESCAP

38

Provide support for conducting training for the disaster focal ministries for uploading data into Geo-Portal Short term/long term courses for the Disaster Management

  • Short term/long term training on GIS and Remote Sensing
  • Opportunity to learn/share good practices in other country

to use such practices in Nepal Upgrade system to provide information on human resources and equipment related to response and relief and to provide district-wise DRR information Support for data preparation/upload for district risk profile

slide-20

Conclusion

ESCAP should continue supporting us as this is very useful portal for DRR. MoHA is co-ordinating between different organization for sharing the data for Geo-Portal. Nepal Portal is ‘One-stop online information on Disaster Risk Reduction for Nepal Repository of DRR information products and tools related to Nepal To provide a platform to discuss DRR issues and exchange information Ensure that response operations are focused upon the correct tasks, in the right order of priority
