One day orientation and sharing workshop on
One-day orientation and sharing workshop on Disaster Inventory/Information Management System in Nepal (Nepal DesInventar) was held on September 18, 2014. The workshop was jointly organized by District Development Committee, Sunsari and National Society for Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET). The program was supported by USAID/OFDA under Nepal Earthquake Risk Management Program (NERMP II) being implemented by National Society for Earthquake Technology- Nepal (NSET).
Similarly, one-day orientation and sharing workshop was organised by NSET in Kathmandu under the NERMP-II project. The program was held on September 23, 2014 in SAP Falcha, Babarmahal, Kathmandu. Since, NSET has been receiving requests from different stakeholders for the disaster database that NSET has been maintaining historical records of disaster occurred in past from 1971 onwards using DesInventar methodology. NSET has realised need of wide range of dissemination of the works and provide training for the users, so that local level stakeholders also benefit from this source. Thus the workshops were organised in two places at the initial stages.
The major objectives of these two workshops were:
1. Sharing the status of disaster database management system of Nepal and Nepal DesInventar database with its usability in different level of planning,
2. Provide hands-on training on DesInventar Methodology/Software system for data extraction and analysis.
Moreover, it was also aimed to make discussion on use and application potentiality of institutionalisation of DIMS for systematic capturing of natural disasters events from local level.
In Sunsari, target participants were from both Governmental and Non-governmental organisations working in local levels including representatives from District Development Committee Morang and Sunsari, representatives from security forces (Nepal Army, Armed Police Force), Department of Water Induced Disaster Prevention, representative from District Emergency Operation Center (DEOC) Morang etc. Among participants, Nepal Red Cross Society Morang and Sunsari, Forwad Nepal, Plan Nepal Sunsari, Koshi Basin Project, CCI Sunsari, DSCO Dhanukuta, DTO Sunsari. Representatives from Municipality and VDCs were also participating in the training from Dharan Municipality, Hansposa, Khanar, Duhabi, Bhaluwa, Bhasi VDCs.
In Kathmandu, participants were also from Ministry of Home Affairs, National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) as well as representatives from District Administrative Committees, District Development Committee of Valley Districts. Other participants were from representatives of different sectors including INGOs, NGOs, Academia, and municipalities etc.
The sharing and training of DesInventar Methodology/Database was felt extremely useful by all participants that it has huge resources that could be useful in local level disaster preparedness/ management planning as well as for different research purposes. Since the module was designed to cover focused on data extraction from the DesInventar database as available online (www.desinventar.net). Hands on practice on the system gave opportunity to participantsto be able to extract different levels of data as available in this achieves.
