Sentinel Asia Evolution

Sentinel Asia Evolution
Moving to Stage 3
Background
• Frequent catastrophic disasters, e.g. recent Tayphoon
Haiyan: enforce our desire to enhance our efforts in the risk and damage reduction in disasters
• The 3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) in Sendai of Japan in March 2015, and post‐Hyogo Framework for Action 2005‐2015: how can Sentinel Asia contribute?
• ALOS‐2 of JAXA will be launched soon, which will contribute to Sentinel Asia
Why Evolution (1)?
1. What was the Sentinel Initiative’s vision and specific goals.
•
•
Free and open access to satellite imagery and derived products, associated with disasters in the Asia – Pacific Region
Fast, web‐based delivery of disaster information (pre‐
disaster, post‐, and recovery) 2. What was the success so far of Sentinel Asia since the project started in 2005?
•
•
•
Over 20+ regional national partners as data producers and users
Satellite data distribution to many disaster‐affected areas has been successful
Linkages to UN Charter for Disasters and GEOSS
Why Evolution (2)?
2. What still needs to be done to fulfill the original vision?
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure Sentinel Asia data producer nodes deliver also a standard set of derived products in addition to only basic satellite imagery.
Speed up data delivery time between acquisition and product delivery via ftp or web‐service to affected communities and national government agencies. Goal should be less than 1 hour from acquisition to product delivery.
Link closely to new CEOS Disasters WG, to ensure reliable and continuous satellite data services are provided for processing and delivery to disaster response agencies in the Asia Pacific region.
Website and data service capable to serve thousands of visitors at the same time.
Provide capacity‐building for emergency agency users who interpret the satellite data.

Asia
How should it be?
How should we proceed?
• Establish a Task Force Team (TFT) to study the Goal for Step ‐3 “Sentinel Asia” • Develop a plan of action and report it to JPTM2014 and APRSAF‐21
• TFT Composition: People who participated in the development and initiation of Sentinel Asia and key disaster response agency partners
• TFT Secretariat: JAXA Ideas of Step3 Evolution

Example 1 of Regional Initiatives: Success Story in the Philippines
Hazard maps (Flood, Lahar and Landslide) of 3 study areas (Antique, Iloilo and Mt. Mayon) were created by using ALOS Pansharpen Image
and DSM.
Lahar - Mt. Mayon
(PHIVOLCS)
Flood - Iloilo City
(PAGASA)
Landslide - Antique
(MGB)
Eruption of Mayon Volcano in the Philippines
in December 2009
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) made lava deposit map by the eruption using ALOS imagery and others, which was used to understand the situation and make decision by National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC).

Landslide Early Warning System in Philippines
Early waning for debris flows and slope failures (short‐term events)
is issued based on current (& predicted) rainfall situation and non‐
linear CL. Hourly point of rainfall vs SWI is traced on CL, and if it exceeds CL early warning is issued. This method is adopted in Japan.

Example 2 of Regional Initiatives: GLOF Early Warning System in Bhutan
based on community cooperation in Mo River basin, Bhutan
by ADRC and Ministry of Home and Cultural Affairs
• Creating map with elevation data in upstream area of the Mo River and hazard map based on past flood records in Punakha
• Capacity development on community level: disaster education and training among local residents
• To install community‐based river level gauges, and develop early warning system

3. Evolution of Response to Specific Disasters
• Current Working Groups: wildfire, flood, GLOF, and tsunami
• Expand the area: e.g., drought, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide
• Alignment with CEOS Disaster Working Group and pilots and 2015 CEOS UNCDRR • Include additional satellite datasets (eg. ESA Copernicus, DLR‐TET & Tandem‐X)
• Strengthen activities by cooperating other initiatives, specialists, researchers in each field
