[U01-04] Enhancing Societal Resilience through Integrated Multi-Sectoral Communication
★Invited Papers
Building resilient societies requires an integrated geoscience approach and interdisciplinary collaboration for effective disaster preparedness, including early warning, response, adaptation, and recovery efforts. Located on the western edge of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Taiwan faces frequent geological hazards. This presentation highlights the role of geoscience in improving typhoon and earthquake forecast communication, incorporating public feedback, and fostering inclusive preparedness initiatives.
Effective disaster communication is essential for both government agencies and the public. Drawing from experiences at the National Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR), we emphasize the role of digital platforms such as the " Platform for Risk Information and Safety Management (PRISM)" and the NCDR Line service in providing timely information. These tools enhance public awareness and preparedness, ensuring accessibility to accurate, actionable information during emergencies.
Refining communication strategies through public feedback is crucial. Managing national emergency alerts and simplifying scientific explanations improve public understanding of disaster risks. The big data platform of the PRISM integrates analysis and risk assessment data. The NCDR Line service delivers evaluations and emergency information in an easily understandable manner.
Resilience-building should involve communities alongside governments, aligning with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Our center has developed accessible preparedness resources for various stakeholders, including disaster manuals and an inclusive online platform for people with disabilities, which has been recognized by the United Nations. By integrating geoscience with technology and inclusive design, we can empower communities, enhance preparedness, and ensure no one is left behind in disaster response.
