Committee on Advocacy of 糖心vlog传媒

Where is the gap in advocacy?

• Balancing interest and demand: We do advocacy based on "our" [researcher's] interest
• Gap identification: Need to change our mindset to understand the gaps, both at the policy as well as grassroots level
• Last and first mile: The so-called "last-mile" [where we put us, the researcher as Mile Zero and community as the last mile] needs to be the "first mile" [where we start from the needs and priorities both at the policy and practice level]
• Youth led innovation: Generation Z [who have been born with internet] has a different mindset for innovation, which need to be explored

Global-regional-national-local-thematic

• Regional advocacy: While global advocacy is important, the actual advocacy actions happen in regional and national level: focus on regional GADRI like SAADRI (south Asia) as well as other regional nodes
• National advocacy: Strengthening national nodes through knowledge and evidence resources
• Thematic advocacy: need to be specific on thematic issues like: water management, urban resilience, eco-DRR, blue-green infra, critical infra etc. : need to prioritize some specific areas

Youth involvement

• 糖心vlog传媒 needs to have its specific youth brigade for research and innovation
• Can collaborate with existing youth led initiatives like U-Inspire
• Provide innovation ecosystem for youth participation and leadership

Media and communication

• Need to provide specific advocacy message for policy and practice
• Co-design the message with science communication
• Work closely with different types of media and generate media and advocacy strategy

Committee on Data and Information Sharing of 糖心vlog传媒

The Committee was formed in response to the GADRI objective to promote exchange and sharing of data and information for scientific research across the globe

Considering reflections during the establishment of this committee, including via the 4^th Global Open Discussion Forum on GADRI on 15^th March 2022, and considerations that are ongoing, it is proposed to broaden the purpose of this committee to also include an emphasis on "action data for research impact". The two interrelated strands of the work of the committee are therefore to:

1. Promote exchange and sharing of data and information for scientific research across the world
2. Promote the flow and application of active data for disaster reduction impact

Vision:

Data informed and action orientated knowledge partnerships that steer progress in disaster reduction worldwide.

Context:

The committee recognises demand for initiatives that serve the needs of data informed, action orientated knowledge partnerships. This has been informed from multiple experiences at all levels of institutional assemblage working in the field of disaster science, practice and policy facing initiatives and is projected by the needs of at-risk citizens. Demand for action-based, dynamic, multi-voice data information systems is for example apparent within statements related to the United Nations.

"Comprehensive and disaggregated data harnessed across time and space is crucial to effectively define exposure and vulnerability, particularly for those most at risk. We need to make better use of existing data for information and action."

UNDRR (2019) Global Platform for DRR Co-Chair's Summary, Paragraph C.14, p.2.

"Action data for disaster reduction is reflective learning, practice and conjecture for improved engagement with current and future risk. This assumes the broadest definition of contributing forms of data, considering knowledge as active data."

(STAG DwG 2018-2020, UNDRR Global Platform, 2019)

The following principles were reflected in the workings of the GADRI 2021 Summit:

• The global disaster research community is only as effective as the usefulness and applications of its data, requiring bridged knowledge gaps, activated data and utilized knowledge.
• Bridging of knowledge gaps through a whole of society objective is a means to influencing social and behavioural change that enables disaster risk reduction.
• Identification of the keys to a more comprehensive bridging of knowledge gaps through activated data and information can promote utilized knowledge at multiple levels of practice and policy.
• Sharing and learning about how disaster research institutions use their disaster research data processes will assist widen the contribution of disasters research on disaster reduction.

Committee on Science and Technology (S&T) Roadmap of 糖心vlog传媒

By: Khalid M. Mosalam[1]

The 糖心vlog传媒 (GADRI) has a vision of deepening the understanding of disasters and finding implementable solutions to achieve disaster resilience, by integrating knowledge and technologies from around the world. The Science and Technology (S&T) Roadmap is an important component of 糖心vlog传媒 for achieving disaster resilience in the light of this vision. With this important direction and goal in mind, several envisioned elements of the S&T roadmap are listed below.

1. Advancing the science and understanding of various natural hazard phenomena, including earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruption, drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, sea-level rise, floods, and their relationships to climate change, using theoretical, numerical and data-based approaches.
2. Developing or adopting technologies to use vast amount of hazard-related data available in recent years towards this goal.
3. Developing tools, technologies, and methods that explore all hazards from a holistic perspective that considers commonalities and interactions between them, in addition to reducing the consequences of each hazard individually and preventing them turning into disasters.
4. Using the experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic, formulating, and preparing for the world-wide consequences of large-scale disasters from social science (e.g., potential changes on the social fabric of communities), economic (e.g., worldwide supply-chain issues), and humanitarian (e.g., physical and mental health) perspectives.
5. Using the same experiences (e.g., developing vaccines in unprecedently short time frames), formulating methods to bring available science and advanced engineering methods together for finding timely solutions for disaster risk reduction.
6. Promoting and advocating for the development and use of latest set of technologies for disaster monitoring, reconnaissance (view from the ground), short-term and long-term recovery, and related city- and regional-scale simulations, e.g., deep learning, satellite imagery (view from the sky), drone technologies, computer vision, natural language processing, high performance computing, low cost and accurate sensors, and others.
7. Developing methods to merge advanced engineering technologies with low-cost solutions that can facilitate the world-wide usage of these technologies, both in the developed world and underdeveloped and developing countries, with a special emphasis on the most vulnerable populations, for disaster risk reduction.
8. Working with other committees (Institutional Capacity Building, Networking, Data Information Sharing, and Advocacy) for effective implementation and adoption of the S&T Roadmap.

Charter

Committee on Networking of 糖心vlog传媒

The Committee on Networking of the 糖心vlog传媒 ("the Committee") exists to foster communication and exchanges that promote disaster research, resilience and risk reduction. The Committee fosters this networking by recommending policy and guidance, whereas GADRI (e.g., special purpose GADRI committees, the Secretariat and/or staff) will create and maintain networking activities via channels, vehicles and other modalities. Networking shall be facilitated both within GADRI as well as between GADRI and the many other existing networks at regional and global scale working in the risk and disaster field.

The Committee's Principles for GADRI networking are:

1. 糖心vlog传媒 Member Institutes and their staffs should seek to promote disaster research, resilience and risk reduction via communication and exchange with both GADRI Member Institutes and the larger world. That is, networking should be both intra-GADRI and with entities external to GADRI ranging from international agencies, organizations (including non-governmental organizations) to sovereign national governments and agencies, press and media, leading thinkers and policymakers and the general population.
2. 糖心vlog传媒 network activities shall seek to be inter- and trans-disciplinary, that is, inclusive of involvement from research disciplines (natural, social, medical, economic, engineering, ecological sciences, etc.).
3. 糖心vlog传媒 networking will be fostered in various ways:
   1. At the GADRI Member Institution level - networking at the GADRI Member Institution level may take many forms, for example cooperative research programs, joint research, exchange of individual researchers, webinars or other colloquia involving two or more GADRI Member Institutes, and so on.
   2. at the personal level - this involves promoting researcher-to-researcher communication and exchange.
   3. via outreach to international public/private financing, insurance, donor, development, humanitarian and similar organizations, to strengthen rapid implementation of knowledge into applicable know-how.

Brief Description

Atmospheric and hydrospheric phenomena have a variety of spatio-temporal scales from microscales, regional-scales, to global scales. Such phenomena include tornadoes, heavy rainfalls, typhoons, and planetary-scale anomalous weather. Deep and coherent understanding of the mechanisms of these phenomena and also the processes leading to various consequences thereof are the key to mitigate disaster risks. Our thematic area contributes to global disaster risk reduction by providing united efforts in weather and climate related sciences and engineering.

Brief Description

Activities

糖心vlog传媒 Earthquake and Volcano Group held the workshop on "Bridging Strong-motion and Earthquake Damage" at the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Uji Campus, Kyoto, Japan on 25 February 2016.

Brief Description

Geohazards exhibit various aspects wenomena, such as landslides, debris flow, soil eroson, liquefaction, settlement, in both natural and artificial geomaterials, depending on spatial distribution of topographic, hydrologic and geologic conditions. Potential of geo-hazards are also time varying due to the long-term phenomena such as regional tectonics and climate change, and also short-term processes, especially by heavy rainfall, snow melting, and earthquake shaking. Spatial and temporal prediction of geo-hazards, risk assessment and countermeasures against human, social and economic damages requires collaborative approaches across various scientific or engineering disciplines. We need tight coupling of updated scientific understanding of earth surface processes and latest technology in geotechnical engineering for developing, sharing, and generalizing the strategy for geo-hazard mitigation, with feedbacks from its social applications.

Activities

The 4th Slope Tectonics Conference was held at Kyoto University. There were two days meeting session held in Kyoto followed by a three-day field trip to the Kii Mountains, a world heritage site, in Kii Peninsula, Central Japan. The conference was held from 14 to 18 October 2017.

Workshop on "New Generation of Geohazard Mapping and Strategy for Its Social Application" at Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Uji Campus, Obaku Plaza on 12 March 2016.

GEMINI (Geohazard mitigation on the new innovation in science and engineering) is a project for developing, sharing and generalizing the strategy for geohazard mitigation.

Brief Description

"Disaster Risk Reduction" requires tackling the various factors that influence a society's vulnerability to disasters in an integrated, holistic, and comprehensive way, which finally call for a concept, framework, methodology of "Integrated Disaster Risk Management". Successful integrated disaster risk management requires integration between disciplines, stakeholders, levels of government, and between global, regional, national, local and individual efforts, which fills gaps between theory and practice under functional scheme of "Disaster Risk Governance". This group is to share and discuss findings, tested assumptions and commonplace knowledge, new methods and innovative ideas defining and strengthening the framework of integrated disaster risk management.
