Virtual seminar towards the implementation of the Strategic Framework on Geospatial Information and Services for Disasters in the Americas
4 August 2020|Event
This webinar attempts to convene national representatives from diverse sectors that contribute in the geospatial response to disasters – national geospatial agencies, national statistics offices, risk and disaster management organizations, and many other representatives from the public, academic and private sectors related to the topic.
The main objectives of this regional encounter are to:
- Disseminate the Strategic Framework for Disasters, including its five Priorities for Action, to a wide spectrum of institutional actors linked to the management of geospatial and statistical information, together with organizations in charge of risk reduction and disaster management at the national level.
- Sharing national good practices related to the five Priorities for Action of the Strategic Framework for Disasters, referring to governance, capacity building, data management, use of technology platforms and resource mobilization.
- Provide an overview on how the IGIF supports the Strategic Framework for Disasters. In particular, it will be demonstrated how the five Priorities for Action of the Strategic Framework for Disasters are linked to, and enabled by, the nine Strategic Pathways of the IGIF.
- Provide a space for regional discussion on the way to move forward in the implementation of the Strategic Framework for Disasters and its five Priorities of Action at country level, with the support of the IGIF Implementation Guide – the detailed Guide for implementing the nine Strategic Pathways of the IGIF.
- Encourage member states to complete the online Assessment tool developed for the Strategic Framework for Disasters, towards determining their level of readiness and the identification of areas where support is needed.
