  1. Disaster Risk Management- Status Review & Proposed Plan R. Krishnamoorthy UNIVERSITY OF MADRAS Chennai, India rrkrishnamurthy@gmail.com

  2. Our Strengths • Expertise in the School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences [Depts. of Geology, Applied Geology & Geography] • Scientific data on tsunami hazards and earthquake risk / prediction studies • Center for Natural Hazards & Disaster Studies [CNHDS] funded by MHRD, GOI

  3. Our Strengths (Contd.) • International Collaborations Tsunami modeling - Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, IRD, "Géosciences Azur", IRD-CNRS-UNSA-UPMC, France Coastal Zone Management - Kyoto University

  4. Our Strengths (Contd.) • Recent Initiatives – collaborative projects in process Community Based Coastal Zone Management: Towards Pro-active Risk Communication Strategy for Effective Tsunami Mitigation in the Coastal Areas of India under - India-Japan Cooperative Science Programme (IJCSP) jointly with Kyoto University Emergency Tsunami Reconstruction Project:Preparation of ICZM plan and coastal vulnerability map for Tamil Nadu – The World Bank Establishment of National Early Warning System for Tsunami & Storm Surges in Indian Ocean – The Ministry of Earth Sciences, GOI

  7. Our Strengths (Contd.) • Publications Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) – The Global Challenge (February 2007) Research Publishing Services Disaster Management – The Global Challenges and Local Solutions (March 2008) Orient Longman India

  8. Our Weakness • Not much in capacity building activities Guidance / Funding

  9. MU – KU – METU (Proposed Plan)2007-2009 • Capacity Building Activities 1. Basic courses for graduate students 2. Short-term course for practitioners 3. Training for the trainers 4. International training workshops 5. Web-based courses • Collaborative Research Project

  10. MU – KU – METU (immediate tasks) • Finalization of MOU [January 2007] • Preparation of proposals for short-term courses & training for trainers [March 2007] 2 ST courses for practitioners/Stakeholders [20 practitioners] 2 TFT [at MU or METU & KU] [10 + 5 = 15 Trainers] [5 Trainers on visit] 2 Expert visits from KU, WBI & ISDR [5 Experts on visit] Funded by WBI and ISDR

  11. MU – KU – METU (tasks) • International training workshop [May 2008] 5 participants from METU region [WBI/ISDR funding] 15 participants from India [self supported] 15 participants from SA countries [facilitate funding from APN, IHDP, etc.] 5 participants from developed countries MU will host and provide University guesthouse, training hall, field visits & preparation training materials

  12. MU – KU – METU (tasks) • Joint collaborative research project 2007-09 Preparation of first draft – February 07 Final draft and submission – April 07 Opportunities Students / young scholars exchange visits Fellowship for young scholars leading to Ph.D. Funded by WBI & ISDR

  13. MU – KU – METU (tasks) • Post-graduate diploma course in the University curriculum [2008-09] – self supported • Web-based courses [2008-09] – WBI/ISDR • 2 end user workshops / brainstorming sessions [2009] – WBI/ISDR

  14. University of Madras 2010 • Adequate strength in capacity building • Generation of action oriented research outputs • Extramural resource generation through funding projects
