Presentation Transcript

  1. Content • Introduction: Disasters and Climate Change in the Philippines • Land Use in Flood-Prone Areas • Structure of a Local Flood Early Warning System • Performance of the LFEWS • Next Steps

  2. CC-susceptible hazards are responsible for 90% of the damage in the Philippines.

  3. The number and percentage of stronger storms appears to be increasing P. J. Webster et al., Science 309, 1844 -1846 (2005)

  4. Typhoon Hazard (MunichRe)

  5. Binahaan Watershed

  6. Land Cover Map of Leyte • Combined images from • SPOT5 • ASTER • LANDSAT • Resolution from 10-29m, • Different spectral bands. 11.10.2014

  7. Land Use in Flood Prone Area of Binahaan Watershed (SPOT5, ASTER) (Total: 6,446ha) Land Use Classification

  8. Loss Estimations (3.1 Mill. US$) There are scattered buildings in the non-settlement areas. They are accounted for in the last row.

  9. Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission Data for Flood Forecasting Data every 3 hours in the internet

  10. Performance of LFEWS In Operation since 2 years. No false alarms. No missed Floods. 13 times activated. Majority of interviewees satisfied.

  11. Next Steps • Utilization of land use map for vulnerability assessment for different hazards • Improve correlation of satellite-based precipitation data with ground data • Use DEMs and other data for flood modelling • Land use map/hazard maps for Disaster Risk Management sensitive spatial planning
