Key challenges and difficulties in improving disaster risk preparedness and management v Limitation on capacity building in Human Resources and also Infrastructures v Limitation on availability of High Resolution satellite images v Lack of technologies in risk assessment based on RS and GIS technologies v Although government budget spend significant financial resources on preparedness, mitigation and response at every year, we have still the challenges in comprehensive disaster database. v There is also lack of effective systems to monitor the disasters and archive disaster related data, and the mechanism to engage multiple stakeholders in information management processes. v Lack on cooperation with national and regional agencies to establish Geo-portal based on GIS technologies Requirements and Expected from UNESCAP Requirements and Expected from UNESCAP q Collaborate and cooperate with regional and international organization in disasters preparedness and response activities such as Flood, Storm and Earthquake q Collaborate and cooperate with related Ministries/ Departments/ Organizations in order to get archive disaster related data q Technical assistances for analyzing geospatial data in a geographical information system in the form of satellite imagery q Short/Long Term Training Courses in GIS & RS technologies and risk assessment for effective disaster management plans q Technical and financial support for developing the Geo- portal/GeoDRM
