Recommendations Coordination for disaster mitigation in Asia-Pacific (AP) ･ Free, open, unrestricted data easily accessible in real-time are fundamental and necessary in AP for disaster mitigation ･ Efficient data utilization will require network　coordination such as through a coordinating body established in AP. ･ Efforts to deploy homogeneous earth monitoring capabilities is essential and such efforts should be expanded including sharing infrastructure with other earth observing systems. ･ Efforts should build upon existing technologies and standards such as those developed by the FDSN. ･ Observations in oceans must be accelerated in heavily populated coastal areas in AP. ･ Convergence of observations in-situ and satellite (GPS etc.) is a promising new technology for monitoring.. ･ Basic scientific research is necessary for sustaining observations ･ We hope to have the meeting regularly for more tight collaboration in AP and also with GEO program
