Disaster Risk Management Systemin Asia-Pacific Region
--- Introduction and Background ---
Big earthquake off Sumatra and tsunami disasters in Indian Ocean countries on December 26, 2004
The time was drastically getting ripe to construct Disaster Risk Management System in the Asia-Pacific Region
– Step 1: ‘Sentinel-Asia’ pilot project: A Satellite Information Distribution Network for Disaster Management over Asia–Pacific region
– The APRSAF (Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum) -11 in November 2004 in Australia
– The Asian Workshop on Satellite Technology Data Utilization for Disaster Monitoring in January 2005 in Japan
– The Disaster Reduction Through Effective Space Technology Utilization In Asian Region in May 2005 in Malaysia
– The APRSAF-12 in October 2005 in Japan– The First Joint Project Team Meeting in February 2006 in Hanoi, Vietnam

Goals of Disaster Risk Management System in Asia-Pacific Region
Goals shared by APRSAF members:– To construct life first society by IT & Space technology,– To improve speed and accuracy for disaster
preparedness and early warning, and– To minimize victims and social economic losses.
Phased approach:– STEP 1: Establishment of Sentinel Asia (2006 - 2007) – STEP 2: Fusing Observation Satellite System and
Communications Satellite System (2008 - 2009) – STEP 3: Disaster Risk Management System in Asia
Pacific Region (2010- )

Step 1
The Joint Project Team mainly initiates the 1st STEP (2006-2007).
Components should be developed during STEP1– Observation System: ALOS, MODIS, others– Information Sharing Platform: Digital Asia, ALOS
rapid response system, others– Information Communications Satellite System: None
preparatory of STEP 2– Capacity Building: AIT training program, others
Benefits– To ensure safe & comfortable life– To Minimize expenditure for disaster preparedness– To improve knowledge & technology against disaster– To establish Int’l framework for information sharing
19
Implementation Plan
Observation system– STEP 1
JAXA’s satellite data which have been archiving from several satellites including new satellites will be shared to related organizations in Asia.
– JERS-1, ADEOS, TRMM, ADEOS- , AMSR-E, ALOS…Ⅱ
– Preparatory for STEP 2 Candidate satellite holders: China, India, Korea, Thailand.

・ increasing capacity for ALOS Data processing and archiving
・ accelerating scientific and practical use of ALOS data
・ increased international co-operation including joint validation and joint science study activities
・ enhanced service for potential users of ALOS data
Each Node is associated with a geographical zone which defines the extent of its area of activity (supporting the physical residents therein as potential ALOS users) as an ADN partner.
