Historical Disaster Information System in Sri Lanka (Disaster Inventory Database Based on Desinventar) Anoja Seneviratne Director (Mitigation Research & Development) Disaster Management Centre Sri Lanka

Introduction The Disaster Information Management System (desInventar) is a sustainable arrangement within an institution for the systematic collection, documentation and analysis of data about losses caused by natural and man maid disasters. www.desinventar.lk

Objective To analyze the disaster trends and their impacts in a systematic manner To reduce the impact of disasters on the communities by planning and implementing appropriate prevention, mitigation and preparedness measures with better understanding of the disaster trends and their impacts

Methodology The Disaster Information Management System (DesInventar methodology) includes a software product with two main component, The DesInventar module A relational and structural database through which the database is fed by filling in predefined fields (space and temporal data, types of events and causes, sources)and by both direct and indirect effects(deaths, houses, infrastructure, economic sectors). The DesConsultar module Allows access to the database by queries that may include relations among the diverse variables of effects, types of events, causes, sites, dates, etc. T his module allows at the same time to represent those queries with tables, graphics and thematic maps.

Data for Desinventra Data Collected from Media Data Collected from Govt Reports Desinventra Database 1974-2014

Main Data Providers DDMCU Epidemiological Unit of the Ministry of Health Department of Meteorology Department of Social Services Department of Irrigation Department of Wildlife Conservation Department of Fire Services of the Colombo Municipal Council National Building Research Organization

No of Hazard Events -2012

Impact of Disasters -2012

Temporal Distribution of Disasters ( Based on the no of events )

Comparison of Incidents in 2011 & 2012 Comparison of Affected Population in 2011 & 2012

Summary of Incident Occurrence in 2012

Experienced Issues Issues Related to Terminology (Data event / Data Card/ Disasters) Spatial unit ( Administrative unit Divisional Level) Not clearly define the duration of event or disaster Strong Vertical Integration and weak horizontal integration Less focus on damage loss assessment Resolution and information are not enough to do detail risk assessment

For Sustainability….. Mainstreaming Desinventra into different Sectors.
