TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NEEDS

Sea-level rise

Establish and enhance data management and information systems

Assist in establishing robust data management and information systems for effective disaster management. This includes developing databases, data collection protocols, and analysis tools for real-time data sharing, monitoring, and decision-making. Expertise in information management and data analysis is valuable for this purpose.

Risk assessments and mapping

Conduct comprehensive risk assessments and mapping exercises, which include identifying hazards, vulnerability analysis, and mapping at-risk areas. Support generating accurate risk maps and data for informed decision-making with experts in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and GIS (Geographic Information System).

Enhancement of Early Warning Systems

Develop and enhance early warning systems for various types of hazards (flooding, drought, heatwaves, sea-level rise, etc.). Establish monitoring networks, install sensors and gauges, develop forecasting models, and integrate communication systems for timely dissemination of warnings to at-risk populations.

Capacity building of vulnerability assessments and response personnel

Build capacity of vulnerability assessment process and climate vulnerability modeling, down-scaling to the regional and local levels. Provide training for search and rescue operations, including techniques, guidance on equipment requirements, development of standard operation procedures, and establishing coordination mechanisms among rescue teams. Provide training for hazard-specific emergency response planning, formulating standard operating procedures, identifying roles and responsibilities, and emergency response protocols. Provide training, workshops, and mentoring to enhance skills in risk reduction, emergency response, and disaster recovery. This includes knowledge transfer and exchange programs to facilitate the sharing of best practices and lessons learned.

Integration of climate change adaptation measures into disaster management

Integrate climate change adaptation into disaster management strategies. This involves assessing climate risks and vulnerabilities, identifying adaptation measures, and mainstreaming climate considerations into planning and implementation processes.
