II. Regional Plan of Action on Applications of
Space and GIS for Disaster Risk Reduction
and Sustainable Development, 2012-2017
Strengthening regional cooperation
for disaster risk reduction and
sustainable development
Ø The Plan of Action is divided into 5 sections
• The Preamble
• Towards Disaster Risk Reduction
• Towards Sustainable Development
• Finance and Resources
• The Way Forward
Ø Two thematic areas are divided to showcase work
to be done at the
• Regional and Subregional Level
• National Level
Strengthening regional cooperation
for disaster risk reduction and
sustainable development
Ø A Ministerial Conference was proposed to be
organized in 2015 to evaluate progress made and
provide further guidance for the successful
implementation of the Plan of Action and to build
stronger political support and ownership among
all stakeholders.
Ø The secretariat has been given huge mandate to
harmonize and enhance existing regional
initiatives and pool expertise and resources at
regional and subregional levels; act as a clearing
house for good practices and lessons; and take the
lead at the regional level in implementing the
Plan of Action.

III. Regional Space Applications Programme (RESAP)
Ø Space applications for DRR / M is addressed by ESCAP
in both sectoral and multi-sectoral approaches, through
its flagship programme (RESAP) .
Ø RESAP aims to promote the use of space applications for
inclusive, resilient and sustainable development in Asia
and the Pacific.
Ø Strengthen regional cooperation and networking of the
space agencies in the region.
- Disaster risk reduction and management
- Natural resources management
- Connectivity

Survey Frameworks for Compendium and Needs analysis
q (Survey 1) Compendium of Regional Space Capabilities
Ø Up-to-date the previous Compendium
Ø A draft Questionnaire was sent NFPs for initial feedback
and final distribution
Ø To identify Available Resources and current status of
National Capabilities in major space applications areas;
(a) National Institution and Space Programmes, (b) EO
satellite, (c) Space-based Positioning,
(d) Satellite
Communication
Ø Setup a web-based survey system to help NFPs input, save
and update the data/information at any time by
authorized person through password control

Ø To identify End Users’ Needs of RS applications
Ø In 9 major application fields
(1) Natural disasters, (2) Water Resource, (3) Natural resource,
(4) Environment, (5) Agriculture, (6) Transportation, etc
Ø What types of data & applications are used currently?
Ø What types of data & applications are needed?
Ø Other technical/human resource need to be supported
Ø Provide basic information for Gap Analysis consolidated with

ESCAP initiative: Improving disaster risk preparedness in
the ESCAP region
Ø
ESCAP has embarked on a UNDA project entitled “Improving disaster
risk preparedness in the ESCAP region”.
Ø
The project aims to support the establish and use georeference/geospatial information at natinoal level and strengthen the
capacity of governments (disaster management authorities) in AsiaPacific region (LDCs, LLDCs, SIDS, and some high risk developing
countries), in the implementation of the HFA through the use of georeferenced/geospatial information tools for disaster risk preparedness,
and timely early recovery.
Ø
Enhance the capacity of ESCAP member states towards managing the
disaster risks more efficiently and effectively, and reduce losses, and
build resilience to hazards through the use/sharing of standardized
geo-spatial information among and within the countries.

On-going Activities
Ø Prototype of the national geo-DRM portals for Mongolia,
Cook Islands and other countries.
Ø Linkage with regional level network (Asia-pacific Gateway for
DRM) and Community of Practice (COP) .
Ø Dialogue with sub-regional organizations (SAARC DMC,
ASEAN AHA, SOPAC), to develop geo-DRM portal based on
existing knowledge networks.
Ø Capacity development activities: Awareness building
workshop for countries in subregions;
Ø In-depth training for selected countries including for those
countries where geo-DRM portals will be established;
