Sentinel Asia
Sentinel Asia is a voluntary initiative by a collaboration between
space agencies and disaster management agencies, applying
remote sensing and Web-GIS technologies to assist disastermanagement in the Asia-Pacific region.
In Oct 2005, APRSAF-12, in Kitakyushu,
Japan, the plan to initiate the pilot project was approved.

In Feb 2006, Joint Project Team (JPT)
was organized and Sentinel Asia hasstarted.
Sentinel Asia is the first initiative
under APRSAF.

Key points;• Recognition of Disaster occurrence spots  Hazard Map produced by spacebased information.
• Expand Philippines Success Story, Hazard maps, Early warning system oflandslide etc.) to other countries.
• Development of new early warning system as a result of WGs activity.
• User enhancement by show-case, use-case of Sentinel Asia activity• Capacity building for organization/agency ,(not individual person) on remotesensing and GIS technology. One DAN in each country.

Summary

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency• Sentinel AsiaSA) is a voluntary initiative by a collaboration
between space agencies and disaster management agencies
to reduced disaster risk in Asian-Pacific region.
• SA has responded over 280 requirements from JPT and ADRC
members since 2007.
• SA is expected to implement not only emergency observation
but activities covering entire disaster management cycle
including mitigation/preparedness and recovery phase after adisaster.
• Space-based technology would have great potential tocontribute to more activities for DRR in Asia and the Pacific.
