How can we convince the national policy makers
that
Disaster Reductionis a MUST for Sustainable
Development in Asia
- A single disaster can wipe out annual GDP of a
country. - Natural Disasters can be the biggest
obstacle to social security of a country.
3
Ratio of Amount of Damage to GDP (Asia)
(1975-2002)
Numbers of Victims of Recent Natural Disasters
in Asia

• How can we make this kind of info available to
  convince the financial authorities?

Greater Capacity for Operations

• To instruct experts in remote areas for triage
  and emergency safety checks with monitoring of
  images.
• To handle communication of local headquarters
  under circumstances of disrupted communication
  existing infrastructure.
• To report situations securely without any
  congestion or disruption of communication lines.

GLIDE - For Effective DisasterInformation
Sharing Management
Background

• Each organization has its own databases using its
  own coding system
• No access between databases
• Its not easy to relate one event data to another
  databases data

Difficulty to match data
Different names are used (West) India
Earthquake, Gujarat Earthquake, Bhuj Earthquake,
Kobe Earthquake, Hanshin- Awaji Earthquake,
Hyogo-Nanbu Earthquake Different dates are
registered Difficult to identify when a
flood/drought started
By introducing GLobal unique disaster IDEntifier

• Easy access to various data sources
• Rapid automatic linking by search engine

Facilitate Effective Info. Sharing
20
Anatomy of the GLIDE

• The first part of the GLIDE Number is
  two-character code signifying the hazard
• The second part of the number represents the year
  the hazard event occurred
• The third part is six-digit serial number
  assigned to each hazard event in chronological
  order in the year
• The three-character code appended at the end is
  the three letter ISO country code

Optional State/Province Code

• Information sharing with GLIDE is needed
  immediately after the event.
• After the event, GLIDE partners access the GLIDE
  Generator for a new GLIDE of the event.
• GLIDE should be the Unique ID for each event.
