AIT-GIC Node Activities for Sentinel Asia

• Establish a Regional Network of Researchers and MappingEstablish a Regional Network of Researchers and Mapping Agencies for emergency mapping and validation

• Carryout emergency response mapping and upload to SA website• Continuous collaboration with other nodes, GISTDA, LAPAN,

CRISP, ISRO, KARI, etc.• Build up a GIS database with the cooperation of Regional

Network and SALB (UN-WHO) projectC it b ildi d t h l t f i C h i• Capacity building and technology transfer in Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction (AIT, JAXA, UNU, University of Tokyo etc.)
