Track 3 Geological disasters and Earthquakes

Natural disaster occured due to geological disturbances often caused by shifts in tectonic plates and seismic activity. Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic waves which were caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. GIS helps to manage the impact of Earthquakes and other disasters by assessing risk and hazard locations in relation to populations, property, and natural resources, Integrating data and enabling understanding of the scope of an emergency to manage an incident and identifying staging area locations, operational branches and divisions, and other important incident management needs. Paleo-seismology, Volcano seismology and infrasound, Tsunamis, Glacier seismicity, Tectonic deformation, Seismotectonics were the realted fields to study the intensity of emergency preparedness towards geological disasters.

Market Analysis

Summary of Natural Hazards and Disaster Management conference

Annually Natural Disasters continue to strike and increase in magnitude, complexity, frequency and economic impact. At the same time, awareness of the process and potential benefits of disaster reduction is still confined to specialized circles, and has not yet been adequately communicated to policy makers and the general public. Natural Hazards and Disaster Management is playing an important role to create awareness and providing a platform to share and discuss on different types of Natural Hazards, Significance of Early warning systems and Risk Management strategies. World is looking for Reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability and property wise management, improving preparedness and early warning for adverse events by disaster risk reduction. Calling for development of a "global culture of prevention" and improved risk assessment, broader monitoring and communication of warnings, the Conference adopted the Natural Hazards and Disaster Management: Guidelines for Natural Disaster Prevention, Preparedness and Mitigation and we are organizing the series of Natural Hazards & Disaster Management conferences.

Scope and Importance

Natural Hazards and Disasters, whether they occur in advanced or developing nations, can destroy people's livelihoods. Extreme natural and man-made hazards have recently hit both developed and developing countries. While the Asian countries have been successful in achieving economic growth and poverty reduction, the region cannot avoid exposure to a variety of disasters. Indeed, Asia, particularly the area of the ASEAN Member States (AMSs), is the most prone region to disasters in the world. Natural Disasters pose negative effects on social structures, environment by disrupting the flows of goods and services, worsening the balance of payments and government budgets, derailing economic growth, income distribution, and poverty reduction. The current scientific sessions notify the mitigate damage arising from disasters, both in terms of the number of human casualties and economic impacts, and preparedness, importance of advance preparations, drawing up emergency plans, disseminating and training emergency knowledge, conducting evacuation drills, constructing early warning systems, and investing in infrastructure and reconstruction efforts, capacity building programs for disaster preparedness, emergency response, relief

Population growth and rapid urbanization could put 1.3 billion people and more than $150 trillion in assets at risk from river and coastal floods by 2020, with Asia as the most exposed region. Natural Hazards congress 2019 is a timely scientific conference that will address the concerns and issue for environmental sustainability in the ASEAN-5 (Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia) Vietnam countries due to national disasters (economic crisis, health hazards, natural calamity and/or Man made hazards). Singapore is well-shielded from natural calamities like earthquakes, typhoons and tsunamis. Natural Hazards Congress-2019 will provide a forum for discussion of the integration of Hazard information into effective emergency risk management. Applying science, technology and research information to best practice planning, warning, response and recovery capabilities will lower the impact of Disasters on environment. The conference will bring together expertise from international wide to enable the sharing of knowledge and strengthen technical sessions. The subject specific target audience of the conference is: emergency managers, planners, risk assessors, asset and utility managers, natural hazards researchers and scientists, experts on the environmental concerns, Delegate participations.

Target audience The scope of the meeting is to brought Experts, Geologists, Ecologists, Professors, Geotechnical Engineers, Geo Scientists, students, researchers, Consultants, business experts across the globe and to evaluate the consequences of human-driven disruption of natural system with a theme of “Significance of Early warning systems and risk management strategies "

Why in Japan?

Japan has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Asia pacific countries and has special concern on Natural Hazards & Disaster Management. Each year, various parts of Japan are inundated by a series of floods, usually in the form of flash floods that came about due to intense rainfall over a short period of time, droughts, heat waves, hailstorms, wildfires , Waterspouts, affected by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome, flu pandemic and other medical epidemics. Natural Hazards Congress 2019 aim at providing strengthened disaster management, insight research literature in different approaches towards effective disaster risk coping strategy and regional cooperation on disaster management.

Comparative studies of Natural Disasters In Asian countries

Asia is the most disaster-prone region in the world. The region has borne brunt of the physical and economic damages of natural disasters. With reference to the data collected by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), human toll from natural disasters in the last 5 years has been staggering. The region remains exposed to more natural disasters and according to the Asian Development Bank, the region’s economic progress will be undermined by the rising number of floods, landslides and other disasters. That provides a stark reminder that Asia’s many densely populated and expanding coastal cities will in particular remain vulnerable to weather-related disasters. Floods, earthquakes and cyclones have wreaked havoc across ASEAN countries killing people, wiping out homes, livelihoods and leaving economies in distress. The region occupies 30% of the world's land mass, but 40% of the world's disasters occurred in the region in the past decade, resulting in a disproportionate 80% of the world's disaster deaths. During the last 10 years, according to the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, majority of deaths in Asia were caused by earthquakes, Floods have killed 17,442 people while as cyclones were responsible for 13,368 deaths in the region. Asia lost US$15 billion due to natural disasters, according to data released by the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)

Desertification Vulnerability

About 40% of the earth’s land area is threatened by desertification, land degradation in which fertile land transforms into desert. According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification it is estimated that every year about 12 million hectares of fertile land is turning into desert which is aggravated due to climate change and human activities and it is estimated that by 2030, water scarcity in some places will displace up to 700 million people, remains most vulnerable to desertification.
