Work Plan Scientific Focus on: a. Three major disasters Storm Earthquake Flood b. Two kinds of disasters Mechanism: Known and unknown c. Comprehensive study Science Hi-tech

11 ☆ The Categories of major sudden disasters: ※ Storms (including tsunamis, typhoons, storm tides, etc.) ※ Earthquakes ※ Floods ※ Others (volcanoes, geological disasters, biological disasters, fires, etc.) Global Major Natural Disasters Global Major Natural Disasters From 1950 to 1999 ( Murchener Ruck Munich Re Group, 1999 ), all kinds of sudden natural disasters (excluding drought) have resulted in: A death toll of up to 1,400,000 A death toll of up to 1,400,000 Economic losses up to US$ 960 billion Economic losses up to US$ 960 billion

12 Severe Scenario of Natural Disasters Serious Major Natural Disasters Continuously Threaten Human Being Recent Serious Major Natural Disasters Continuously Threaten Human Being a. Great Tsunami in Indian Ocean Killed nearly 300,000 People Killed nearly 300,000 People. (There had no pre-warning, no awareness, no preparedness, no response system) no preparedness, no response system) b. Hurricane Katrina Hit USA Last Sep. Over 1,000 people killed, more than US$ 100 Billion lost (Exact prediction, but weak Preparedness) c. Huge earthquake in South Asian last Oct. caused a death toll of 76,000, 4.0 million people homeless (No prediction, no pre-warning, no preparedness) d. Disastrous Landslide in the Philippines this year buried about 1,800 people there. buried about 1,800 people there. ( Lack of pre-warning, awareness, preparedness ( Lack of pre-warning, awareness, preparedness emergency response system) emergency response system)

13 Scientific Problems on Disaster Reduction Two kinds of Disaster in the World: Mechanism of Disaster is known (Typhoon, Flood, etc.) ： We will pay attention on Forecasting 、 Pre-waning 、 System Mechanism of Disaster is known (Typhoon, Flood, etc.) ： We will pay attention on Forecasting 、 Pre-waning 、 System of Disaster Reduction and Emergency Response, etc. Mechanism of Disaster is unknown (Earthquake, Tsunami): Mechanism of Disaster is unknown (Earthquake, Tsunami): We will pay attention on Mechanism 、 System of Disaster Reduction and Emergency Response, etc. Reduction and Emergency Response, etc.

14 What differences for DR or Non-DR? Three Major Floods in Yangtze River of China in 20th Century ： Non Disaster Reduction 1931 Flood, Persons died ； 1954 Flood ， Persons died ； Disaster Reduction 1998 Flood ， 3000 Persons died. Two 2005 Major Hurricanes of USA: USA: Non Disaster Reduction Hurricane Katrina 100 BN US$ Lost, 1200 Persons died; 100 BN US$ Lost, 1200 Persons died; Disaster Reduction Hurricane Lita Hurricane Lita 5 BN US$ Lost, 2 Persons died. 5 BN US$ Lost, 2 Persons died. Hurricane Katrina hit USA on Aug. 29, 2005 Losses more than 100 BN US$ 1200 people were killed

15 * Mechanism of natural disaster ; * Prediction of natural disaster ； * Assessment of natural disaster; * Pre-warning and emergency response to natural disaster ； * Integrated study on natural disaster.

Work Plan 1. Enhancement of the Public Awareness of Disaster Mitigation 2.Modification of the Document 3. Training Course on Disaster Mitigation In Developing Countries 4.Co-operation with other international organizations Working Focus on :

Working Plan 1.Enhancement of the Public Awareness of Disaster Mitigation An IAP Statement on Natural Disaster Mitigation Schedule for the statement: Sep.10, the first draft of the statement; Oct.10, the second draft of the statement; Nov.10, the final version of the statement.

18 D Working Plan 2. Document would be modified “Global Natural Hazards and Disaster Reduction” would be modified and streamlined into would be modified and streamlined into “Natural Disaster Mitigation”. “Natural Disaster Mitigation”. Schedule for Modification: Aug.30 the first draft Sept. 30 the second draft Oct. 30 the final version

19 3.Training Course on Disaster Mitiga. In Developing Countries Environment & Disaster An international training course on Environment & Disaster will be held in Beijing, China, Oct Participants Participants from about 15 developing countries 2006 Working Plan

20 4. Co-operation with other international organizations # The Introduction of IAP initiative aroused great harmonious response of CODATA ICSU at the 16th CODATA DSAO Task Group conference in Bangkok, Thailand, Jan ,2006. # The CODATA has great enthusiasm to co-operate with IAP In the Field of Natural Disaster Mitigation and support to Establish a new task group under CODATA in this area. # A proposal has been submitted to CODATA Secretariat to set up a task group on Comprehensive Information System for Natural Disaster Mitigation, which will be discussed at CODATA meeting. D Working Plan

21 Several key points: Outreach to UN and governments More IAP academies involved Discuss & Cooperate with ICSU Specific IAP niche Two important output before IAP GA: Report and Statement
