Opportunities to Assess Damage Caused by Natural Disasters The Regional Environmental Center for Central Asia, July 12, 2012
Basic problems for Central Asian countries • Complicacy in assessing the cost of territory, infrastructure, human life (unified method) in case of damage caused by natural disasters, or due to mid-term and long-term effects of climate change; • Absence of more precise forecasts of climate change and its effect on territory, infrastructure, human life and his life support (access to resources)
Requests to CAREC from Central Asian countries • Turkmenistan – assessment method on damage from contamination of atmospheric air and water, salinization and land degradation (Dialogues on CA Initiatives on Sustainable Development, Turkmenistan, 2009); • Kyrgyzstan – absence of methods on estimation of damage from climate change/natural disasters (seminar-training on adaptation to climate change in CA, July 2012);
Methods and Approaches CAREC can propose/develop • Risks/ damage types assessment criteria; • Damages assessment criteria • Method on cost estimate of territory and forecast of damages on the base of the developed criteria (maps of costs, maps of damages from certain natural disasters/climate change and synthetic map of risks)
Method on creation of map of cost • Working with digital map of 1:25000 scale for the mountainous and densely populated territories and 1:100000 with the fussed network of the infrastructure and settlements for the unified cost estimate of the territory: • Cost – 1 km of roads by categories; • Cost – 1 ha of lands by categories; • Cost of buildings and constructions by categories; • Cost of the other linear infrastructure (irrigation network, power transmission line)by categories; • Infrastructure and industry / production sites of point type • Population • Use of high resolution space photos (at least 20 m)
