Essential Pre-Crisis Data
Baseline Data
•
Population data (census, inter-censal survey)
•
Annual analysis of population growth rate and livelihood changes
•
Housing data (census, inter-censal survey)
•
Livelihood data income and expenditure survey, labour force survey)
NOTE: All disaggregation by age group, sex, local area level
Baseline Mapping
•
Standardization of P-code/Area Id for all administrative levels
•
Other geo-spatial data (roads, rivers, facility points, topography, coastal
belts, seismic zones, volcanoes, landslide belts etc)
•
Lowest administrative level including village/settlements
•
Facility Points (Health, Education, Water) A
NOTE: All baseline maps must be linked to metadata

Sri Lanka Lessons Learned
Advantages
• Rapid release of data for evidence-based planning
– compared to previous assessments (3mths to 1 week)
• No need for paper and data entry
– faster digitization generally means faster ends
• Standardization of collected data by setting input
restrictions
Moving forward…
•
Strengthened partnership between National Statistical Offices
and Disaster Management Authorities
•
Implementation of standardized platform for data
dissemination to humanitarian practitioners
• Using common standards for Statistical Data
Metadata Exchange (SDMX)
• Using common standards for geo-spatial data and
metadata
•
Mechanisms established for dissemination of satellite imagery
of affected areas (shp file formats, e.g. extent of flood
affected areas)
•
Regular vulnerability and risk analysis (inter-agency)
