The document discusses NIED's efforts to develop a disaster information sharing system in Japan.
(1) Most prefectures now have their own systems, but wide-area sharing is difficult. NIED has developed a system using open-source software that allows different agencies to exchange map information.
(2) For large disasters affecting multiple regions, NIED aims to implement a "distributed operation" where each organization cooperates by operating their own systems and sharing information, rather than having one entity manage all data.
(3) Pilot projects are underway in Kyushu prefectures to test wide-area information sharing using NIED's system. Standardization of data formats and access controls is still needed
This document discusses the Area Business Continuity Management (Area BCM) initiative, which aims to develop a scalable cross-sector coordination framework for disaster management and business continuity. The Great East Japan Earthquake showed that individual business continuity plans were insufficient due to disruptions of common resources like energy and transportation. Area BCM establishes coordination between private businesses, public sectors, and communities to maintain critical external resources and infrastructure. It involves understanding risks and impacts, developing area-wide business continuity plans, implementing measures across prevention/mitigation, preparedness/response and recovery, and continually monitoring and improving the system. Case studies demonstrate how Area BCM coordinates stakeholders to strengthen resilience.

2) SIP4D is a platform that connects different agencies' systems to quickly share information.
3) NIED-DISS is a sample system for local governments and organizations to connect to SIP4D and each other.
While many prefectures now connect to SIP4D, activity agencies like fire departments and SDF still mainly share paper documents. NIED aims to provide them systems to directly input and access shared information digitally. This could help speed and improve coordination across different response organizations.

This document summarizes the challenges faced by governments in financing disaster risks and the role of risk transfer solutions. It notes that the costs of natural disasters are growing and most losses are uninsured, burdening public sector budgets. A range of pre-event financing options are discussed to help governments plan for disaster impacts on infrastructure, emergency response costs, revenue losses, and supporting uninsured populations. Risk transfer solutions like insurance and catastrophe bonds can help spread sovereign disaster risks across global capital markets.

Groups will create a pamphlet and presentation to pitch their proposal to a panel, with the goal of having their project selected for funding to help advance progress on the Millennium Development Goals.
6th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2016 Integrative Risk Management - Towards Resilient Cities. 28 August - 01 September 2016 in Davos, Switzerland
This document discusses disaster risk financing and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It notes that disaster risk is increasing as seen by rising average annual losses relative to GDP in many countries from 1998-2017. The Sendai Framework aims to increase the number of countries and local governments that adopt disaster risk reduction strategies. These strategies can inform investment priorities and support projects to increase resilience. While progress is being made, more efforts are needed to accelerate financing for disaster risk reduction given the growing challenges from factors like climate change and urbanization. International frameworks like the Sendai Framework and SDGs provide guidance but implementation of coordinated strategies across systems is still developing.

Climate Change & the Bottom Line conference- Keynote, Alex Kaplan, Swiss ReSustainable Seattle
This document discusses public-private partnerships for addressing climate change risks through risk financing and insurance solutions. It summarizes the large gap between insured and uninsured losses from natural disasters globally. It then provides examples of economic risk assessments conducted in various regions, including analyses of expected annual losses under different climate change scenarios for New York City. The document advocates for combining ex-ante risk financing instruments with ex-post financing to reduce governments' financial burden after catastrophes. It also presents case studies on parametric insurance policies that provide quick payouts based on measurable storm parameters.
Risk financing and risk transfer mechanisms can help address the increasing costs of climate-related disasters. However, there are significant challenges to their implementation in developing countries, including a lack of suitable mechanisms, high costs, and insufficient evidence and demand. Effective integration of adaptation, risk management, and risk financing approaches is needed but has not always been achieved in practice.

Open data in disaster management
The UN General Assembly defined in February 2017 a disaster as “A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts. It is deeply intertwined with the broader concept of risks, defined by the European commission as a “combination of the probability of occurrence of a hazard generating harm in a given scenario and the severity of that harm.”
Managing these uncertainties requires a large spectrum of data coming from different sources, government being one of the most important. Open Government Data (OGD) is a philosophy and a set of policies that promotes transparency, accountability and value creation by making government data available to all. According to the OGD 8 principles, defined in 2007, Sebastopol, California, these data should be: complete, primary, timely, accessible, machine processable, non-discriminatory, non-proprietary, license-free.
One goal of Open Government Data is to rise the interest of third-parties stakeholders and their (open) innovation capabilities, Open Data is providing trusted information which is important in a troubled context, with a lot of rumors (see also the emergence of fake news). As governments are among the largest data creators and providers, OGD is a central issue for disaster management or risk mitigation, for example through the provision of costly and/or rare data, like data related to infrastructures, weather data or satellite imagery. By definition, OGD is contributing to remove the data silos created by the different information systems of different bodies of government, administration or external stakeholders, allowing a cross-boundary information sharing. It is also a tool to improve cooperation among stakeholders in case of emergency. All of this is of paramount importance regarding disaster management.
Through a set of use cases, this talk will highlight (1) how OGD has been or could be used during the whole of the disaster management cycle, from prevention and preparedness, emergency management, response, and recovery; (2) its current or potential benefits and possible improvements through its linkage with other sources of information, structured and unstructured, such social media and crowdsourcing ; and (3) its identified barriers regarding data availability and quality, organizational readiness, multi-stakeholders involvement, and cooperation.
The document provides an overview of eco-terrorism and its costs. It discusses the history of eco-terrorism, defines it as violence or destruction of the environment to influence governments, and notes its growing risk. Specific topics covered include the costs of terrorism to EU countries, top business risks for 2020 which include eco-terrorism, forest fire management policies in Canada, and instances of arson potentially linked to eco-terrorism. The document argues all levels of government need to better address environmental risk management and that blaming all disasters on climate change deflects from other issues.
This document discusses the increasing financial impacts of natural disasters on infrastructure and the economy. It notes the rising costs of major storms and hurricanes in recent decades. The document also examines strategies for improving the resilience of critical infrastructure systems and managing financial risks, such as through catastrophe bonds and insurance. It emphasizes the need to understand economic and financial resilience gaps given growing disaster costs and limited transportation budgets.

International Decades for Natural Disaster Reduction ( IDNDR )Jemishkumar Parmar
The document discusses the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) which was designated by the UN General Assembly in the 1990s. The IDNDR aimed to reduce loss of life, property destruction, and social/economic impacts from natural disasters. A secretariat was established in Geneva to support IDNDR activities like the RADIUS project on earthquake disaster mitigation. After IDNDR, India established a National Committee on Disaster Management and shifted focus to proactive prevention, preparedness and mitigation instead of reactive responses. Insurance industries can support IDNDR through activities like disaster mapping and assessing loss potentials.
This presentation looks at Eco Terrorism
Eco Terrorism is growing in terms of risk. All level of government need to look at the issues including water management, land management, forest management and building codes
More radical environmentalists are trying to hijack the government agenda when it comes to environment.
Many forest fires have been link to people setting them as part creating disruption within government
CO2 is the cop put, why? It is easy to blame CO2 on natural disaster vs the real issue which is urban planning.
All level of governments are failing to do proper risk management plans in terms of mitigating impact of disasters.
This document discusses the growing economic costs of natural disasters and the need to close the protection gap to help communities better absorb losses. It provides data showing a rise in uninsured losses from natural catastrophes over time. Various case studies are presented on disaster risk financing programs around the world, including parametric insurance schemes that provide rapid funds for relief efforts. The document advocates for more comprehensive risk transfer solutions and disaster risk planning to help make societies more resilient to climate change impacts.

This document discusses the growing costs and impacts of wildfires globally and mechanisms for effective risk transfer. Over the past decade, wildfire occurrences and costs have increased substantially around the world. Currently, a large portion of wildfire costs are uninsured, placing a significant burden on public finances. The document outlines various sources of financial capital that have emerged to cover insurance risk and gives examples of public sector disaster risk financing programs. It also compares indemnity and parametric insurance products and provides recent examples of parametric covers. In closing, it discusses challenges for parametric wildfire solutions and the impacts of climate change in exacerbating wildfire risks.

The document summarizes a presentation about how climate change is increasing catastrophic losses for the insurance industry. It discusses how more frequent natural disasters are impacting home insurance profits and driving needs for improved location data. The presentation outlines six steps for insurers to leverage location data and analytics to better manage risks, underwrite policies, and improve marketing, claims, and post-event analysis. This includes using precise location data to predict risks, model portfolios, respond faster to events, and gain insights into customers.
Using Disaster Inventories Databases for Loss and Damage Assessment as a driv...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
This document discusses how disaster loss databases can drive mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction (DRR) into climate change adaptation strategies. It argues that accounting for disaster losses provides evidence needed for policy decisions on investing in adaptation and DRR. Reliable disaster loss data allows for informed decisions on cost-effective risk management strategies. The document also notes challenges in systematically tracking disaster losses globally and calls for improved national disaster databases to provide a clearer picture of climate-related disaster costs and support the implementation of climate adaptation plans.
The document discusses disaster management in India. It defines a disaster as a catastrophic situation that disrupts normal life and requires emergency interventions. Disaster management involves preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities. India is highly disaster prone due to factors like its geography and climate. However, disaster management has not been a high priority and suffers from issues like a lack of coordination, inadequate resources and capacity, and a focus on relief over prevention. The document argues for a shifting paradigm that prioritizes prevention, community participation, sustainability, local knowledge, and building long-term resilience.
Sierra Leone Capacity needs assessment for Emergency Preparedness and Response. Diana Katto
Sierra Leone is highly prone to a number of natural and human induced hazards including floods, landslides and coastal erosion, tropical storms, sea level rise and epidemics which when combined with communities’ vulnerabilities turns into
catastrophic disasters. With the country ranked second in Africa (after Madagascar), and in 8th place globally on the Global Climate Risk and Vulnerability Index ranking, 2019, climatic change is expected to amplify the frequency and severity of disasters if not already doing so, which in turn will reverse all the development gains attained.
Sierra Leone ranks low in the CRVI index due to its high-risk predisposition, susceptibility, fragility, weaknesses, deficiencies, or lack of capacities that favor adverse effects on the exposed elements of human lives and livelihoods.
Further contributing factors include high levels of poverty, weak public infrastructure, a history of ineffective disaster risk governance and serious fiscal problems. Skewed development processes, such as those associated with environmental mismanagement, demographic changes, rapid and unplanned Urbanization in hazardous areas, failed
governance, and the scarcity of livelihood options especially for the poor further exacerbate the country’s vulnerability and exposure. Recent trends in disaster occurrence further project continuation and increase in frequency, magnitude
and socio-economic impacts on the economy. The 2014/15 Ebola Virus Diseases outbreak and the 2017 mudslide incident were particularly unique to Sierra Leones disaster profile. The daunting challenge of addressing the increasing risk and impacts of disasters in the existing fiscal space warrants urgency for Sierra Leone to strengthen the country’s DRM preparedness and response capacity, as well as coordination of disasters and emergencies.
This assessment was undertaken to identify existing capacities for EP & R at national, and district level, identify gaps and challenges in EP & R and to propose recommendations on how the identified challenges and gaps can be addressed
including structural, procedural and non-structural capacity gaps.
This document provides information about developing a National Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (NSDRR) in Rwanda. It includes a country profile of Rwanda that outlines demographic and climate information. It also describes the key hazards Rwanda faces, including floods, landslides, and storms. The document defines what a DRR strategy is and explains why it is important for Rwanda to develop a NSDRR to reduce disaster risks and strengthen resilience. It outlines 10 steps to develop the NSDRR, including understanding the country context, defining objectives, and setting up a monitoring process. Finally, it provides an example table of contents for the NSDRR to guide its development.

This document summarizes developments in sovereign green bond markets. It discusses approaches to incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into public debt management. Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies. However, issuers also face challenges such as additional costs and complexity of the issuance process. Common leading practices emphasize transparency, collaboration, and commitment to reporting.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
2. Purpose
● Highlight disaster trends in Canada.
● Discuss the use of disaster loss data in the Canadian context.
● Present opportunities for further domestic and international
collaboration.
1
4. The Canadian Disaster Database (CDD)
The CDD is a publically accessible web-
based repository of historical
information on Canadian from 1900-
present.
● The database provides 110 years of
data on disaster events in Canada.
● Over 1000 events are capture in the
CDD, as of 2016.
● The CDD tracks natural and human
induced disasters including conflict.
● The database also contains GIS and
linguistic filters to sort event data.
● All CDD data can be exported into
formats for GIS or statistical
analysis.
3
5. Development of the CDD
The CDD was initiated over 30 years ago. Over this time the initiative has
moved through a number of distinct phases:
1990: Canada published Significant Disasters in Canada for public
awareness.
1997: An electronic version of the CDD was developed as a step toward a
comprehensive and reliable database, designed to:
● inform on post-disaster response and recovery spending;
● allow assessments of mitigation efforts; and
● act as a tool to increase awareness of disasters in Canada.
2010: The CDD undergoes a process of enhancement to provide updated
and validated information in order to:
● provide more reliable information;
● become a useful scientific tool; and
● be used to support decision-making.
2013: The geospatial element of the CDD is added to enable mapping of
data.
4
7. Maintaining the CDD
● CDD event information is gathered on
a ongoing bases by a team at Public
Safety Canada.
● The data is collected from authoritative
sources (e.g. government reports,
insurance losses, and peer reviewed
research).
● On an ad hoc basis, CDD data is
further vetted by subject matter experts
from industry and academia.
● Updates to CDD events occur on an
ongoing basis, but given operational
needs, the CDD is not always up-to-
date with the most recent disasters.
● With enhanced coordination of in-
house knowledge and expertise, both
the quantity of events and the quality
of the information captured continues
to increased.
6
8. Recent Data Inputs:
Disaster Financial Assistance
In the event of a large-scale natural disaster, when response and
recovery costs exceed what individual provinces or territories could
reasonably be expected to bear on their own, the Government of
Canada provides financial assistance to provincial and territorial
governments through the Disaster Financial Assistance
Arrangements (DFAA).
● The DFAA provides a single consistent data source for direct
federal disaster losses between from 1970 to present.
● This data is used as a proxy to help better understand broader
societal and indirect disaster losses.
● In 2015, the back catalogue of DFAA costs were made public
and harmonized with the CDD.
7
9. Recent Data Inputs:
Catastrophe Indices and Quantification
● CatIQ provides insured loss information on Canadian disasters
through a subscription-based service.
● Public Safety Canada is working with CatIQ to integrate insured
losses into the CDD.
● Challenges in incorporating this data into a publicly accessible
database in a way that does not compromise the business
model of CatIQ.
8
10. How the CDD has been used
The CDD can be used to support research, academic activities and decision-
making across a breadth of subjects and can be leveraged to support many
Emergency Management program deliverables as it:
● facilitates research activities that support a unified emergency management
system;
● contributes to the government’s capacity to manage emergencies;
● promotes public awareness of emergency management directly to
Canadian citizens and business;
● helps share information among other levels of government and emergency
responders;
● supports organizations in risk identification;
● monitors federal response to disasters; and
● supports understanding of risk associated with various types of disasters by
identifying economic and human impacts of disasters on Canadians
9
11. Challenges
● Events prior to 1970 have limited data integrity.
● Indirect losses are not captured.
● Private sector losses are only available in annual aggregates.
● GIS specificity is limited (e.g. polygonal at political boundaries
rather than hazard zones).
10
12. Success Factors
● Dedicated platform and IT system to house the information.
● Dedicated allocation of resources and personnel.
● Streamlined collection of information.
● Private sector and government (federal, provincial and
municipal) partnerships.
● Ensuring value to decision-makers and the scientific community
through reliability of data.
11
13. Conclusions
● Canadian disasters are changing in frequency and magnitude.
As such, an ongoing structured means of tracking these
changes is key.
● The CDD offers a good foundation for this monitoring; however,
private sector and secondary loss estimates need to be better
captured in order to provide a full picture of disaster impacts.
