The project aims to establish 4 real-time sea-level stations in Myanmar (1), the Philippines (1), and Vietnam (2) for monitoring earthquakes, for tsunami early warnings. Key activities include site survey to determine location appropriate for tsunami warning, design and construction of seismic vaults, equipment acquisition, and on-site installation, telemetry, and reliability testing.  

The project aimed to improve the availability of seismic and crustal deformation observations in the Indo-Southeast Asian region to aid earthquake hazard and risk analyses efforts. Key activities included site identification, survey, and selection; vault construction and site improvement; establishment of 20 telemetered broadband seismic stations and 8 cGPS stations; and integration into national and […]

The project developed a series of technical notes for the Asian Development Bank (ADB), focusing on how climate risk information can be used for community development programs in infrastructure, water resources, and agriculture. The notes are inputs to ADB-organized knowledge workshop on how communities’ resilience to disaster and climate risk can be strengthened through community […]

The project built capacity of Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS) on application of forecast and warning information in planning and decision-making. Key activities included customization of MRCS early warning, early action training manual; training of trainers; and training of MRCS volunteers.

This consultancy service trained MRCS trainers on early warning, using materials developed by RIMES from an earlier consultancy engagement.

The project supported ESCAP in implementing its project on “Enhancing knowledge and capacity for the management of disaster risks for a resilient future in Asia and the Pacific”. Key activities undertaken are: a) Development of a strategy paper for bringing together ongoing pilot projects on Regional Drought Mechanism and the Monsoon Forums in Cambodia, Myanmar, […]
