Opportunities and Challenges
• Open data, open-source, open platform: sharing and organically
growing data, tools and resources for worldwide use
• Building DRR applications on top of the tools and resources that
end-users need
• How to develop capacity in countries, provinces, cities to reliably
use the advanced tools for hazard, risk and integrated seismic
risk assessment – long term investment
• How to facilitate interdisciplinary and institutional collaboration
between experts in the various domains
• Once there is capacity; to connect the policy makers with the
experts to work together on management and assessment
strategies

13. Added value for the Post 2015 Framework for DRR
• How is GEM supporting the implementation of the HFA?
– Open tools and resources to empower institutions and organisations

in identifying, assessing and monitoring disaster risks
– Leveraging science for the benefit of society
– Example of a successful public-private collaboration and concrete
partnership examples for application
• Main gaps, needs and further steps to be addressed in HFA2
– Research: learning from the past – investing in long-term studies
– Education & Training: see previous slide
– Implementation & Practice: opening up of data and approaches,
sharing and comparison
– Policy: mainstreaming of DRR by incorporating risk assessment in the
decision-making process, public-private collaboration
