COUNTER MEASURE
STRATEGY

36. Need for Hazard Analysis
• Following aspects need in-depth exploration:
– Seismic Hazards/Vulnerability Analysis
– Flood Hazard Analysis
– Landslide Hazard Analysis
– Forestation and Reforestation Analysis
– Snow and Debris Hazard Analysis
– Environmental Aspects Analysis
– Land Erosion Analysis
– Climate Change Impact on Glaciers - GLOF
38

37. Establishment of Centre of
Excellence in Earth Sciences and
Environment
Following type of data would be required:
– Environment Degradation
– Traffic volume & capacity and traffic flow within and
across the international border
– Geotechnical aspects and Geological changes (e.g.,
landslides, avalanches, etc.)
– Seismic activity profiles
– Satellite Imaging of the area
39

38. – Meteorological/Weather Conditions (Precipitation and
rates, climate change, glacier/snow related aspects, etc.)
– Water level, inflow, and outflow of rivers and reservoirs
– Security Concerns
– Disaster Risk Reduction, Mitigation and Management
related aspects
– Miscellaneous related aspects, e.g. socio-economic
aspects etc.
40

39. • Establishment of Inventory
– There is need to establish an inventory of
the data centers located/already available all
over Pakistan along the CPEC routes from
Khunjerab all the way down to Gwadar.
– It is proposed that a center of excellence should
manage this inventory as well as establish an
efficient and rapid access to all the data
depositories along the path of CPEC.
41

40. • Data Management
– The center may act as a liaison and a source to all
the
updated data.
– It is suggested that preferably the center of
excellence owns a department which keeps all the data
up to date, regulates and maintains it.
– A link to all the data depositories and a rapid
accessibility
to them are suggested to be established at this center.
– At later stage, arrangements could be made to establish
a central data depository at the center for quickest
access to data.
42

41. • Expertise Requirements for the Center of Excellence
– Meteorologists
– Geological experts
– Civil Engineers (Transportation, Geotechnical,
Hydrological, Structural Engineers, etc.)
– GIS experts
– Environmental Engineers
– Disaster Management experts
– Miscellaneous related fields experts
