SBT and ICT in ADB

ADB concluded LOI with Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency
(JAXA) in 2010 to promote SBT
applications in its activities.
ICT action plan has been being
prepared to promote the use of
ICT in its operations.

SBT and ICT in IDRM

Operational Plan
Operational Plan for Integrated Disaster Risk
Management (IDRM) 2014-2020
ADB will promote the application of state-ofthe-art space-based and information and
communication technology such as remote
sensing and geographical information systems
both for disaster risk assessment and early
warning systems.

A. SBT and ICT applications

for flood management
TA-8047 REG Applying Remote Sensing
Technology in River Basin Management
JFPR funded, 2 million US$
Philippines, Bangladesh, and Viet Nam
2012/4 to 2015/3
Impact: reduction in losses from flooding events
Outcome: improved river basin management
including flood risk management using Space Based
Technology (SBT) and ICT
Output:
(i) SBT and ICT applied for flood risk management
(ii) Selected staff able to apply SBT and ICT in river basin
management.

(Around 10 km x 10 km)

Needs local calibration with

ground rain gauge stations

When evacuation is
needed, issue
evacuation order for
selected unions

Everyday, FFWC staffs

check the local flood
model on WebGIS
When the model
shows that the union
will be inundated in X
days, prepare and
send SMS as pre-alert.

B. SBT and ICT applications

for Disaster Risk Management
TA-XXXX REG Applying Space-based Technology and
Information and Communication Technology to
Strengthen Disaster Resilience
JFPR funded, 2 million US$
Pilot countries; Armenia, Bangladesh, Fiji, Phlippines
For 2 years (2015/4 to 2017/3)
Impact:More information-based DRM
Outcome: Improved quality and timeliness of information for
disaster preparedness and response using Space-based
Technology (SBT) and Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) in the target DMCs
