4. 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
