DI-06-09: Use of Satellites <strong>for</strong> Risk <strong>Management</strong>• With reference to a multi-hazard approach, define <strong>and</strong> facilitateimplementation of a virtual constellation <strong>for</strong> risk management.The Task will include development of dedicated software tools<strong>and</strong>• The Task will also include specific activities concerningConstellation requirements definition <strong>and</strong> per<strong>for</strong>manceassessment, with the full involvement of Users• Extension of International Charter <strong>for</strong> Major <strong>Disaster</strong>s <strong>and</strong>Space‣ Application of the concept of Virtual constellation to Risk <strong>Management</strong>‣ Activities include close consultation with the International Charter on “Space<strong>and</strong> major disasters”, in order to follow its evolution <strong>and</strong> identify its role withinthe progressive coverage of all the phases of the Risk <strong>Management</strong> Cycle.ALOS <strong>and</strong> its follow-on, Sentinel Asia
DI-09-01: Systematic Monitoring to Support Geohazards RiskAssessment• a) Vulnerability Mapping <strong>and</strong> Risk Assessment (<strong>for</strong>mer DI-06-03 <strong>and</strong> DI-06-07)Major interconnected activities include: (i) retrieval, integration <strong>and</strong> systematic access to theremote sensing <strong>and</strong> in-situ data of a certain number of regional areas (“Supersites”)exposed to geological threats (initial focus will be in dramatically enhancing access to SARdata); (ii) development, testing <strong>and</strong> application of global seismic vulnerability mapping to“Supersites” areas.• b) Seismografic Networks Improvement <strong>and</strong> Coordination (<strong>for</strong>mer DI-06-02) InSAR analisys(JAXA, DPRI-KU)Facilitate improvement of capabilities <strong>for</strong> global seismographic networks such as GSN, FDSN(including regional <strong>and</strong> global components) <strong>and</strong> GNSS networks <strong>and</strong> new ocean bottomnetworks such as VENUS <strong>and</strong> NEPTUNE.Facilitate the sharing of data <strong>and</strong> event products among GEO members.Exp<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> coordinate ef<strong>for</strong>ts to provide access, using GEOSS interoperability methods, to realtime<strong>and</strong> archived seismological data <strong>and</strong> products <strong>and</strong> develop a portal that will linkdistributed seismological data centers to provide seamless access to other GEOSScomponents.
DI-09-02: Implementation of Multi-Risk <strong>Management</strong> Approach<strong>and</strong> Regional Applications• a) Multi-hazard Approach Definition <strong>and</strong> Progressive Implementation(<strong>for</strong>mer DI-06-08)Promote the definition <strong>and</strong> implementation of an integrated <strong>and</strong> comprehensiveapproach to systematically address all risks <strong>and</strong> disasters phases, including riskassessment <strong>and</strong> mapping. Support ISDR in the Implementation of the HyogoFramework <strong>for</strong> action <strong>and</strong> promote the definition <strong>and</strong> implementation of a<strong>Disaster</strong>s Community of Practice (CoP)• b) Regional end-to-end disaster management applicationsDefine framework <strong>and</strong> Implement regional cross-cutting end-to-end projects(Famine <strong>and</strong> drought early warnings <strong>for</strong> Africa; multi-risk decision-support tools<strong>for</strong> Latin-Central America <strong>and</strong> Asia; <strong>and</strong> risk management <strong>for</strong> floods such asprompt implementation of flood <strong>for</strong>ecasting <strong>and</strong> analysis system <strong>for</strong> poorlygaugedriver basins under the concept of GFAS-Streamflow proposed by IFNetusing IFAS)IFNet will be presented in the session.

‣ Extending Charter Access to GEO MembersIn response to GEO request <strong>for</strong> broader GEO members’access to Charter, the Charter Board unanimouslyendorsed the principle of « universal access » <strong>for</strong> allstates.GEO is working to define a strategy <strong>for</strong> providingCharter access to all GEO members (47 GEOMembers do not have an Authorized User to activatethe Charter).
‣ Extending Charter Access to GEO MembersWithin this framework, GEO strongly supports SentinelAsia request to the Charter to trigger the Charter onbehalf of its member countries.GEO will closely coordinate with Sentinel Asia <strong>and</strong>intends to support Sentinel Asia to become regionalcenter <strong>for</strong> Charter access in the region.
Session Chair’s Suggestion• Enhancement of data availability <strong>and</strong> usability <strong>for</strong>end users• Further development of technologies <strong>for</strong> disastermanagement• Capacity building <strong>and</strong> education <strong>for</strong> disastermanagement applications• More involvement of academia (universities,research institutions) to GEO <strong>and</strong> GEOSS as users<strong>and</strong> advisors• Hazard mapping application would be a commonresearch/practice target topic
