Abstract
Due to the fact that geospatial information technology is considered necessary for disaster risk management (DRM), the need for more effective collaborations between providers and end users in data delivery is increasing. This paper reviews the following: (i) schemes of disaster risk management and collaborative data operation in DRM; (ii) geospatial information technology in terms of applications to the schemes reviewed; and (iii) ongoing practices of collaborative data delivery with the schemes reviewed. This paper concludes by discussing the future of collaborative data delivery and the progress of the technologies.
Highlights
The issue of disaster risk management (DRM) is a priority for sustainable development [1].Geospatial information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), satellite remote sensing, and crowdsourcing, are important DRM technologies [2]
UNITAR Operational Satellite Applications Programme (UNOSAT) develops solutions based on the needs of the beneficiaries at the end of the process and has partnerships with international organizations and private sectors of geospatial information providers, such as the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), Digital Globe, e-GEOS, Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), ESA, European Space Imaging (ESI), Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), Google, the International Charter, ITC, Kongsberg
We reviewed the geospatial technologies for DRM and discussed their applications
Summary
The issue of disaster risk management (DRM) is a priority for sustainable development [1] Geospatial information technologies, such as geographic information systems (GIS), satellite remote sensing, and crowdsourcing, are important DRM technologies [2]. Following the increased awareness of geospatial information technology in DRM, international collaborative mechanisms of geospatial data delivery were established by international initiatives, such as the International Charter [3], Sentinel Asia [4], and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [5]. These initiatives contributed to the damage assessment required in emergency response. We concluded with future perspectives of collaborative data delivery and the progress of technologies
