ADB’s work related to satellite application 3 Introduction of ADB • Regional development bank – Economic development and Poverty reduction • Projects – Loan, grant, and technical assistance (TA) – With knowledge to address development issues • $15.3 billion assisted in 2013 4 Introduction of ADB President HQ (External relations, audit, strategy .etc) Vice President Budget, Administration (Procurement, Human resources, Administration, Legal, .etc) Vice President Vice President Vice President Vice President Public/ Cofinance South Asia Department East Asia Department Economics & Research Department Central and West Asia Department South East Asia Department Pacific Department Regional Sustainable Development Department Headquarters in Manila, Philippines 5 Introduction of ADB • Sectors – Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food Security – Education – Energy – Environment (Inc. Climate change) – Financial Sector Development – Gender Equity – Health – Public Management and Governance (Inc. Disaster Risk Management) – Public-Private Partnership – Regional Cooperation and Integration – Social Development and Poverty – Transport – Urban – Water 6 Introduction of ADB • ADB concluded LOI with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in 2010 to promote space technology applications in its activities. • Became Sentinel Asia Data Analysis Node in January 2012. • “Workshop on GIS and Space Technology for Sustainable Development of Asia” was held in ADB HQ in February 2011. 7 EO x DRM in ADB • “Operational Plan for Integrated Disaster Risk Management (IDRM) 2014-2020” – ADB will promote the application of state-of-theart space-based and information and communication technology such as remote sensing and geographical information systems both for disaster risk assessment and early warning systems. 8 2. What kind of data do disaster management users need? How is it used to aid decision making to manage disaster risk? 9 Satellite applications for Disaster Risk Management • Prevention, mitigation and Preparedness A. Hazard maps B. Hazard forecasting • Response and Rehabilitation C. Disaster Monitoring D. Damage assessment maps 10 SBT Applications • A. Hazard maps (Floods, droughts, volcano, etc.) – Using satellite imagery as a background – Using satellite geographical model for inundation modeling – Identify houses, roads and other infrastructure using satellite imagery – Overlay of past flood inundation maps to make potential inundation maps Key information for urban planning, infrastructure development 11 SBT Applications • B. Hazard forecasting (Flood) – Application of satellite-based rainfall data and geographic data for flood modeling. – In TA8074REG “Applying Remote Sensing Technology for River Basin Management” funded by Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR: 2 million US$), satellite-based rainfall data will be integrated to existing flood models in Bangladesh, Philippines and Viet Nam with the support of JAXA. 12 ST Applications • D. Damage assessment maps – In TA7579-PAK “Pakistan Floods (2010) Damage and Needs Assessment” (220,000$), satellite data including ALOS data freely provided by JAXA were used for making the flood inundation map by SPARCO. 13 3. Typhoon Haiyan Response in ADB 14 Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines in November 2013 • Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the central part of the Philippines on 8 November 2013. • Wind speeds estimated at 315 km/h (195 mph). • • • As of January 10, 2014, 6,190 reported dead, 1,785 still missing. 3.4 million family / 16 million persons affected. 1.1 million houses damaged. ADB supported by Loans and Grants 16 Damage Assessment -> Plan • Multi-Cluster/Sector Initial Rapid Assessment (MIRA) • Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda (RAY) based on Damage and Loss Assessment (DaLA) 17 What ADB has done using satellite data • Accessed International Disaster Charter, Sentinel Asia and other available EO information and shared in the Yolanda Response Team in ADB. • Counted damaged infrastructure based on damaged infrastructure map based-on satellite imagery and basic GIS data from Open Street Map (OSM). • Identified of number of damaged houses in 40 m buffer zone from the coast line for understanding the magnitude of the replacement. • Asked satellite providers to provide proposal for damage assessment. 18 Damage assessment GIS Analysis Image from Openstreetmap Base maps (Layers of houses, infrastructure, roads, etc.) Data Source -Open Street Map Image from International Charter, UNOSAT Damaged infrastructure by visual check of satellite imagery 1. Number of damaged infrastructure 2. Damaged infrastructure maps Data Source -Open Street Map 19 Results of initial work by ADB RS-GIS team 20 21 Could calculate the number and locate the damaged hospitals, hotels, schools, etc. on maps 22 Estimation of number of houses in 40 m buffer zone from the shoreline 23 4. Benefits and challenges 24 Benfits of EO Data for Initial Damage Assessment 25 Satellite data can provide good information at the early stage • Number of damaged houses for Tacloban city from the results was 20166 / 33351 (60%) • Number of damaged houses for Tacloban city reported in NDRRMC update was; – 382 for 11/10 to 11/21 – 58,823 (12,270(Totally), 46,553(Partially)) for 11/21 to 12/20 Satellite-based assessment has advantage for the quick assessment until field data is available 26 ADB Needs on EO Data for Disaster Response 27 Needs of satellite data 1) Information about the number of damaged infrastructure by type (houses, schools, hospitals, etc.) 2) Information about area of affected agricultural lands and forests. 3) Maps indicating the location and distribution of the affected infrastructure and lands. -To formulate loans, grants and TAs to support the government in disaster response, recovery and rehabilitation -To develop damage assessment reports such as DaLA. 28 Timing of ADB activities 11/8 Typhoon Yolanda 11/13 3 million $ Grant approved 20 million $ Grant and 500 million $ Loan announced 20 million $ Grant concept prepared 11/25 12/06 500 million $ Loan approved 12/13 20 million $ Grant approved 12/16 375 million $ Loan approved MIRA released DaLA completed and RAY released 29 Challenges for “Making” Satellite-based Damage Information 30 Challenges for “Making” Satellitebased Damage Information 1) Availability of basic GIS data in the affected area 2) Limited coverage of free satellitebased damage information 3) Lack of coordination among organizations conducting data analyses 31 (1) Lack of basic GIS data GIS Analysis Image from International Charter Image from Openstreetmap Baseline GIS data (Layers of houses, infrastructure, roads, etc.) Not easily available!! Damaged infrastructure by visual check of satellite imagery 1. Number of damaged infrastructure 2. Damaged infrastructure maps Available from space community 32 How to prepare GIS data? • From government agencies A. Lack of coordination/sharing • Making coordination mechanism and share data before disasters DPN (Space) DPN (Basic GIS data) DAN User Example in Sentinel Asia B. Lack of data • • Support developing maps From OSM A. Lack of capacity • B. Establish local community which can make OSM maps. Lack of understanding • Coordinate with agencies to promote the use of OSM 33 (2) Data availability was limited…. 34 (3) Lack of coordination for data analyses • It was difficult to know what geospatial processing other agencies were conducting, which made ADB’s decision making much slower to decide where and what to focus. • More coordination in international community during disaster events. • Microtasking used by volunteers (Malysian Airline case) may be useful to divide analysis work. 35 Challenges for “Utilizing” Satellite-based Damage Information 36 Challenges for “Utilizing” Satellitebased Damage Information 1) Difficulty to use numbers from satellite-based information for official reports 2) Sharing and utilization of satellitebased information at the local level 37 (1) How to make use of satellitebased information officially • It is difficult to change official numbers reported from fields or responsible local government agencies at the higher level. – It is important to consider how to make use of satellite-based information at the local / community level which collect information as initial data source. 38 (2) Lack of information sharing at the community level • Due to the loss of internet connection during disasters and lack of awareness. • Mechanism to deliver satellite-based information to the affected area is necessary. • Offline data viewer would be useful. 39 Connect affected community with international digital volunteers • Many crowdsourcing initiatives of digital humanitarians for disaster response (geo-tagging twitters, damage assessment by microtasking) such as the one by Digital Humanitarian Network (DHN). • Collaboration between official network such as Sentinel Asia and volunteer-based initiatives should be explored. • Community-based information is necessary for international digital volunteers to work effectively. 40 How to realize “sustainable” applications Sustainable Operation Practical Applications Demonstration through pilot projects Understanding by Management Capacity of organizations for data provision Capacity of User organizations Staff Technical Capacity Software, Hardware, Data Human Resources Research and Development of methods Policy makers' understanding Financial Source Policies Institutional Arrangement 41 Role and responsibility definition for each organizations New Proposal of ADB’s Regional Technical Assistance Project 42 Tracing satellite imagery on PC Satellite Imagery Smartphone with GPS Uploaded to OSM Maps -Validate and edit maps -Add building names and types a) Detail Base map development on OpenStreetMap Pilot activities at selected communities Smartphone with GPS -geo-tagged information about hazards and evacuation route Smartphone with GPS b) Community-based Hazard risk and evacuation mapping using mobile phone application -geo-tagged reports and photos from field c) Crisis mapping using mobile phone application 1.
