Hyderabad Urban Lab (HUL) recently hosted a consultation with the GHMC, advocating for granular, ward-level disaster management plans that prioritize preparedness, including relief efforts. Here's why a localized approach is crucial: Centering preparedness: Understanding local risks and capacities is crucial for developing effective preparedness plans, shifting the focus from solely reactive relief efforts. Hence, it is important to devise systematic ways, informed by grounded research, to study and understand wards and neighbourhoods across the city. Spatially-Varying Risks: Neighborhoods experience diverse threats. Localized plans ensure resources are allocated to address specific vulnerabilities, like flooding in low-lying areas or heat stress in densely populated neighborhoods and zones. Enhanced Response Efficacy: By understanding ward-specific risks, emergency services can deploy resources strategically, leading to quicker and more effective response and recovery efforts. Engaging Communities: Localized plans encourage citizen participation. Residents can provide valuable insights into their neighborhoods' unique needs and challenges, fostering a collaborative approach to disaster preparedness. With GHMC also recognising these imperatives, we plan to collaboratively -- with communities, civil society organisations and government departments -- build processes that inform better disaster risk reduction practices. #urbanfloods #heat #communities #ghmconline #DisasterRiskReduction #Hyderabad #GHMC #CommunityEngagement #UrbanResilience Anant Maringanti Sabarinath D Teja Malladi

We're pleased to share that the new Minister of Home and Disaster Management of Andhra Pradesh, Ms. Anitha Vangalapudi, recently received a comprehensive briefing from Nannapaneni Kishore on the State’s cell broadcast-based Public Warning System provided by Utimaco. Andhra Pradesh, with a population of 50 million, boasts the longest coastline in India at 972 km, making it particularly susceptible to cyclones. Additionally, lightning poses a significant natural hazard in the region, especially during the monsoon season, leading to an average of 400 to 500 fatalities annually. The state government and the Andhra Pradesh Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) are dedicated to raising awareness and implementing safety measures to mitigate these risks. In 2020, Utimaco’s u. warn cell broadcast-based Public Warning System was deployed as part of these efforts. Utimaco also offers full-service management to support the state government and APSDMA in this vital mission. 🔗 Discover more about our Public Warning System by clicking here: https://lnkd.in/eP9v2AuN #CellBroadcast, #PublicWarningSystem #PWS #APSDMA

#30daymapchallenge || Day 1: Points Data Cyclone Shelters in Bangladesh has implemented a comprehensive strategy by constructing more than 3,777 cyclone shelters in its coastal regions, with the primary objective of safeguarding susceptible communities from the severe consequences inflicted by cyclones and storm surges. These shelters play a vital role in providing essential support during cyclone seasons, offering a safe haven for millions of individuals residing in areas with low elevation and susceptibility to flooding. These shelters are equipped with essential amenities such as potable water, sanitary facilities, and emergency provisions. They are specifically designed to withstand the powerful winds and heavy rainfall typically associated with cyclones. Consequently, they serve as crucial evacuation and protection mechanisms for individuals facing potential risks. The extensive prevalence of these shelters highlights the dedication of Bangladesh to disaster preparedness and resilience in response to the recurring cyclone hazards in the area.

DRIMS - A Step Towards Disaster Response The Disaster Reporting and Information Management System (DRIMS), launched by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority in collaboration with UNICEF, represents a significant advancement in disaster response management. This digital platform enables online reporting of damages from various disasters, which facilitates a quicker and more accurate assessment of damage and streamlines the distribution of aid and rehabilitation grants. This capability is especially critical in Assam, a region frequently impacted by multiple natural disasters. ✔ Impact of DRIMS DRIMS not only captures essential data such as crop losses and livestock deaths but also enhances the efficiency of data verification and compilation, which is vital for saving the time of field workers. This improvement in data handling can significantly expedite the delivery of relief to affected communities, ensuring timely support reaches those in need. Moreover, the system helps to maintain a centralized database, which is crucial for managing information on a large scale and across diverse disaster scenarios. 🎖 What will help in the success of DRIMS? For DRIMS to be successful, several key skill areas need development. Personnel involved with DRIMS require training in data management and analysis to handle the complex information the system gathers. Skills in digital literacy and technical troubleshooting are also vital, ensuring that the system operates smoothly and can be adapted or expanded as needed. Furthermore, training in emergency response and strategic decision-making is essential for leveraging the data collected through DRIMS effectively during crises. Thus, ongoing training and development, such as the state-level program on Incident Response System initiated alongside DRIMS, are crucial for maximizing the platform's impact on disaster management. #disasterresponsemanagement #indiadisasterresponse #assam #gisfordisasterresponse #gisskillbuilding https://lnkd.in/gsunkR5f
