More than 20 experts from regional offices of the Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defense of Tajikistan participated in a training workshop on using the DesInventar-Sendai disaster information management software to record damage and losses due to disasters, ASIA-Plus reported. The workshop was funded by the European Union (EU) and organized by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) as part of the Central Asia Initiative for strengthening disaster and climate resilience, says press release issued by UDRR on July 21.
Monitoring disaster loss data is critical for disaster risk reduction, as the information allows experts to analyze trends and improve disaster preparedness, mitigation, and prevention measures. The DesInventar-Sendai system supports a dialogue on risk management and disaster risk reduction planning between all stakeholders across local to national levels. The system allows to analyse disaster trends and impacts through a large range of sectoral and socio-economical dimensions. – Kabar
