WGCap. D-8 Annual Meeting IIRS, Dehradun, India March 06 th – 08 th, 2019 Uniqueness of the course Free of charge Access to expertise from space agencies around the world Linking participants to a global network of experts and policymakers Awareness about international coordination bodies, such as CEOS, Group on Earth Observations (GEO), United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), and the International Charter for Space and Major Disasters Access to datasets and useful tools available from CEOS Members
Target Participants • Decision makers • Disaster Risk Reduction Professionals • Disaster Response Professionals • RS & GIS Professionals • Academicians • Students
Feedback from Webinar on DRM 2015 • Assignments to work on using the software discussed in the Moodle. • More practical examples and tutorials on software • Further demonstrations and techniques in software used for analyzing the data. • Disaster response scenario event practical videos. • Practical classes on programming Terra. MA 2. • If hands-on training on remote sensing and GIS software included, would greatly improve the course. • Information on processing of data instead of results. Demonstrate how to derive maps and products. • Quiz questions could be more technical. • Translators
Webinar Themes 1. Introduction to the Webinar Series - Overview of CEOS/WGCap. D - Role of CEOS: Datasets & tools for DRR - International collaboration and data sharing in DRR 2. Introduction to Disaster Risk Reduction: Role of Geospatial technology in risk assessment & early warning system. 3. Space bases platforms for DRR: EO and space based communication for Disaster risk reduction & response. 4. Geospatial technology for monitoring, mitigation and early warning system forest fire. 5. Earth observation system for monitoring and early warning systems for hydrometerological disasters. (Floods). 6. Space based monitoring of atmospheric risk: Heavy rainfall/ cloudburst, smog, heatwave. - Now casting and data assimilation. 7. Space based early warning system for coastal & oceanic disasters (Cyclones, tsunami, storm surges). Possible Collaboration with WG Disaster of CEOS for data sharing and capacity building requirements
