Conference Overview
The devastation brought by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last March and thesuccessive disasters that struck New Zealand, China, and Myanmar in recent months
highlight the need to prioritize disaster risk reduction in development planning. Informationand communications technology (ICT) is a key tool in this effort. The United Nations throughthe Hyogo Framework of Action, developed after the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004,
emphasized the important role of ICT in reducing disaster risks, enhancing institutional
capacities, strengthening the resiliency of communities, and protecting vulnerable sectors.
The Internet can be a valuable tool for hazard monitoring and local vulnerability assessments.
Mobile phones can be used in designing early warning and alert systems. Software systems
can be used for risk assessment and communications. Sensor networks can be used formonitoring, assessing and analyzing risks. Community radio and WiMax can be used fororganizing and coordinating emergency operations and disaster response. In developing
countries, community e-centers can play a significant role in disaster risk management at thelocal level.
The Hyogo Framework promotes the mainstreaming of ICT and disaster risk reduction in bothnational and local development planning. ICT has a vital role in enabling, empowering, andcapacitating individuals and communities to reduce their vulnerabilities from natural disastersand social exclusion.
The conference aims to promote strategic thinking on the value of ICT leadership, including
the role of the Chief Information Officer (CIO), in disaster risk reduction. It will gather CIOs
and ICT champions from academia, government, private sector, development agencies, andthe international community. The meeting will generate ideas and build collaborative linkagesin the areas of research, capacity building, and knowledge management.
