RESPONDING TO NATURAL DISASTERS: THE ROLE OF
SPACE BASED INFORMATION
WATER-RELATED DISASTERS: THE WORLD
Average annual characteristics over 1980-2008

• Floods and droughts account for about 90% of all people affected by all natural disasters
• Frequency and intensity of these events increases with changing climate
• Annual damages may rise to over 400 bill USD globally by 2030

2014 DROUGHT: REALITY CHECK OF SPACE BASED DATA
2014 drought seriously damaged crops in
Kurunegala, Anuradhapura, Polonaruwa districts
• Quantification of drought’s magnitude, spatial extent, and impact – through a
combination of climate, vegetation and biophysical indicators
• On-line prototype drought monitoring tool – the basis for coordination of regional
drought mitigation effort.
• Identified hot-spot areas – where droughts are more intense and frequent – to plan
preventive measures
• National capacity in drought monitoring in all participating countries
• Regional sharing and dissemination of operational drought information

UTFI – ONE SOLUTION TO MULTIPLE PROBLEMS
THE ROLE OF SPACE INFORMATION:
Input to UTFI suitability analysis
• Around 30 indicators reflecting various aspects of suitability (geohydrology, land
use, topography, flood risks, population, etc). Many indicator are derived from RS
