26 July - 3 September 2021
Guideline
1. OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE

Disasters continue to have an ever-increasing impact on life, well-being and sustainable
development. Given these impacts, there is a high demand at the local, national and international
levels for high quality, integrated statistics to inform all phases of the disaster risk management
cycle. Furthermore, disaster related statistics are not only relevant to those working to prepare andrespond to disasters but also to the public at large, research institutions and policy analysts at thelocal and national levels. In response to the increased demands for disaster related statistics, thedisaster management and official statistics communities in Asia-Pacific have developed theDisaster-related Statistics Framework (DRSF).
The DRSF aims to improve countries capacities to produce high quality, integrated statistics ondisasters; and, it is the basis for this course. During the course participants will learn about theimportance of harmonized data and its relevance to policy making at the national and global level.
Other topics covered include statistics on disaster risk, disaster occurrence and impacts, andeconomic losses. Further details on course content follow below.
2. TARGET PARTICIPANTS

Target participants are government officials and experts in the national disaster management aswell as the statistical systems in Indonesia who are working on disaster mitigation and adaptation
issues. The course can also be useful to a wider audience who is interested to learn more about
disaster related statistics.
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the course, participants will be expected to:● Be informed about relevant policy initiatives (including international initiatives such as
the Sendai Framework and the SDGs)● Understand concepts of disaster statistics● Learn about harmonized data and integration of different data sources to support policy
development● Comprehend data relevant to different components of disaster risk management cycle

4. COURSE DESIGN AND CONTENT

The online modules of the course are available in Bahasa. Each module consists of slides
with explanations. After all modules have been completed, participants will be required tocomplete a final test that will cover all modules. The modules are expected to take amaximum of 7 hours to complete. Participants are also expected to attend the course
