BANGLADESH Presentation
on
Role of Department of ICT in Promoting ICT Uses in Disaster Risk Reduction Jashim Uddin Ahmed (Additional Secretary)
Director General, DoICT<br>
slide2. Election Pledge; Vision 2021: Digital Bangladesh
Government committed for inclusive uses of ICT
ICT for unlocking tremendous social and economic benefit
Middle income country by 2021 Foreword ICT Division and Department of ICT are formed
ICT rollout is happened all over the country
Development of National ICT infra-network promotes cross sectoral synergy Progress ICT in Bangladesh<br>
slide3. DRR Why Important in Bangladesh ? Bangladesh is one of the worst disaster prone country of the world.
Catastrophic Hazards ---Floods (1988,1998 and 2004), Cyclones and Storm Surges (1970,1991,2007 SIDR and 2009 AILA), Tornado (1974, 1977, 2005 etc), River Bank Erosion, Earthquake, Drought, Arsenic Contamination, Salinity Intrusion, Fire, Infrastructure Collapse (RANA Plaza), Tsunami and Landslide.<br>
slide4. National ICT Policy 2009 Addressing Disaster Risk Reduction Strategic Objectives
Protect citizens from natural disasters through ICT-based disaster warning and management technologies
Promote efficient relief management and post-disaster activities monitoring<br>
slide5. National ICT Policy 2015 Addressing Disaster Risk Reduction Strategic Objectives
Protect citizens from natural disasters through ICT-based disaster warning and management technologies
Promote efficient relief management and monitoring to ensure post-disaster activities<br>
slide6. Disaster Management Institutions in Bangladesh Figure: Disaster Management Institutions in Bangladesh<br>
slide7. ICT uses Impact on Disaster Management- An example from cyclone death trend Death toll comparison between 1970 and 2007 cyclones significantly highlighted the ICT uses impact on disaster.
In case of SIDR Early warning (72 hrs before the event) from RSMC, New Delhi, India through their geo-stationary satellite, INSAT substantially reduces the death toll.<br>
slide8. Our Linkage –DOICT’s functions Ensure the proper utilization of ICT & coordination of ICT activities among all the Government offices for smooth functioning.
Support to create appropriate ICT infrastructure and maintenance support of all government offices up to grass root level.<br>
slide9. Bangladesh have signed United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2030.
Signatory of DRR Sendai framework, 2015-2030
UN-ESCAP is working for promoting use of ICT as a key tool for mainstreaming DRR into development planning. SDG and DRR framework<br>
slide10. Department of Disaster Management Program namely “Comprehensive Disaster Management Program (CDMP)” took an initiative for earthquake hazard and risk assessment of three major cities (Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet) in Bangladesh.
Early Landslide warning saves life due to earlier evacuation in Chittagong.
CDMP makes available cyclone shelter database information online Achievements<br>
slide11. Disaster Management Information Centre (DMIC) introduce Early warning through Cell Broadcast in two districts- Sirajgonj for flood and Cox’s Bazaar for cyclones
Interactive Voice Response – 10941dial updated message is available for weather, disaster info and early warning. >1 lakh responses were made in 2013 through IVR (Interactive Voice Response)
SMS- Mobile no. database is formed for the key actors at the root level. They are instructed through SMS Achievements<br>
slide12. Bangladesh is signed a contract with SAARC Disaster Management Centre (SDMC) to develop “Bangladesh Disaster Knowledge Network” under “South Asian Disaster Knowledge Network” project.
National Disaster Management Council amended Standing order on Disaster through including orders on Earthquake, Tsunami and fire hazards in SOD in 2010.
Government initiative in DRR decrease casualties in the Business sector.
Climate Change Trust Fund and Climate Change Resilient Fund is key to infrastructure development in DRR Policy Achievements<br>
slide13. Disaster Reduction Chapter include in Class III to Class X curriculum. Disaster Management and Climate Change Related Subject is included in Class XI and XII
Disaster Management is sensitize through UDC (Union Digital Center). 10000 booklets are distributed in 4500 UDC.
Solution Exchange a email based communication system was formed for the actors of Disaster Management and Climate Change Adaptation. Sensitization/ Educative Program<br>
slide14. Almost 98% of Bangladesh is under the coverage of Mobile network.
DoICT along with Bangladesh Meteorological Department can establish huge weather information repository.
Real time data on weather parameters like Rainfall, Humidity, Air Pressure, Wind Velocity, Temperature etc. can be stored for information generation.
Data Collection can be done through mobile network. Way Forward<br>
slide15. Earthquake forecasting system is not well developed.
Due to rapid urbanization/ huge unsafe buildings, buildings developed mostly violating Bangladesh national building codes subject to make Bangladesh an earthquake vulnerable.
To develop good governance in this sector through e-governance is a key challenging area for us. Challenges<br>
slide16. Thanks<br>
