5. Disasters SBA - Then (2005-2015) Build on Past Successes

6. Disasters: Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters: Disaster losses can be reduced through observations relating to hazards such as: wildland fires; volcanic eruptions; earthquakes; tsunamis; subsidence; landslides; avalanches; ice; floods; extreme weather; and pollution events. GEOSS implementation will bring a more timely dissemination of information through better coordinated systems for monitoring, predicting, risk assessment, early warning, mitigating, and responding to hazards at local, national, regional, and global levels. Disasters SBA - Then Disasters Strategic Target (2009): Enable the global coordination of observing and information systems to support all phases of the risk management cycle associated with hazards (mitigation and preparedness, early warning, response, and recover). DI-01: Informing Risk Management and Disaster Reduction C1: Disaster Management Systems C2: Geohazards Monitoring, Alert, and Risk Assessment C3: Regional End-to-End Systems C4: Global Wildfire Information System C5: Foster Utilization of Earth Observation and Remote Sensing Data for all Phases of Disaster Risk Management 2 Year Targets 6 Year Targets 10 Year Targets

7. Disaster Resilience SBA - Now (2016)

8. Disaster Resilience: By increasing capacity to prepare, forecast, mitigate, manage and recover from disasters; in order to achieve a substantial reduction of risk and losses of life and property through an understanding of disaster risk brought by maintaining and strengthening in situ and remotely-sensed Earth and climate observations while enhancing the access to, and the sharing and use of, data and information obtained through such observations.

10. Disaster-relevant SDGs Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts Build resilient infrastructure Make cities and human settlements safe, resilient, and sustainable The 2030 Plan for Global Action, Article 76: “We will promote transparent and accountable scaling-up of appropriate public-private cooperation to exploit the contribution to be made by a wide range of data, including Earth observation and geo-spatial information, while ensuring national ownership in supporting and tracking progress.”

11. “The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction calls for enhanced access to, sharing of, and use of non-sensitive data and information, communications and geospatial ands pace- based technologies and related services through international cooperation, as well as continued and strengthened in-situ and remotely sensed Earth and climate observations.” Summit on Climate Change and Disaster Management Sep 2015 Disasters and Climate Change - Connection

12. Sendai Framework Scope and Purpose: apply to the risk of small-scale and large-scale, frequent and infrequent, sudden and slow onset disasters, caused by natural or manmade hazards as well as related environmental, technological, and biological hazards and risks. Expected Outcome: substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods, and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities, and countries

13. Sendai Framework Goal: Prevent new and reduce existing disaster risk through the implementation of integrated and inclusive economic, structural, legal, social, health, cultural, educational, environmental, technological, political and institutional measures that prevent and reduce hazard exposure and vulnerability to disaster, increase preparedness for response and recovery, and thus strengthen resilience. Accomplish this goal through four Priorities for Action in support of seven Targets Priority 1: Understanding disaster risk Priority 2: Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk Priority 3: Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience Priority 4: Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better”
