SHARED LEARNING COLLABORATION AND INCLUSIVE PLANNING ARE NECESSARY AT ALL LEVELS FOR REDUCING DISASTER RISKS. THE UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY FOR DISASTER REDUCTION (UNISDR) AND ITS SENDAI FRAMEWORK HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF INCREASING THE USE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO ACHIEVE DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AIMS. RED CROSS IS THEREFORE SEEKING A NASA PARTNERSHIP WITH WHICH TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL CONSULTATION AND SUPPORT IN IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO USE EARTH OBSERVATIONS TO ADVANCE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE SENDAI FRAMEWORK THROUGH WORKSHOPS TRAININGS AND CONFERENCE SESSIONS. THE RED CROSS PROPOSES TO WORK WITH THE NASA DISASTERS AND NASA/USAID SERVIR GLOBAL PROGRAMS TO ENGAGE NASA SERVIR AND DISASTER MANAGERS ASSOCIATES AND INVESTIGATORS EXTERNAL PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO STRENGTHEN CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND RESILIENCE. SPECIFICALLY THIS INCLUDES DEVELOPING MATERIALS ACTIVITIES TRAININGS AND CONFERENCE SESSIONS TO BRIDGE SCIENCE AND CULTURAL GAPS FOR RELEVANT VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES AND CONDUCT EXERCISES TO EVALUATE READINESS AND EFFECTIVE PRACTICES DESIGNED TO INCREASE RESILIENCE TO DISASTERS. THIS EFFORT WILL ALSO SUPPORT OUR COLLECTIVE ENGAGEMENTS WITH THE GROUP ON EARTH OBSERVATIONS (GEO) THE COMMITTEE ON EARTH OBSERVATION SATELLITES (CEOS) AND OTHER STRATEGIC PARTNERS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT DATA AND GEOSPATIAL PRODUCTS TO DISASTER RISK REDUCTION NEEDS. BUILDING ON THE COLLABORATION SUCCESS BETWEEN THE RED CROSS AND THE NASA DISASTERS PROGRAM ACHIEVED DURING THE STRENGTHENING DISASTER RISK REDUCTION ACROSS THE AMERICAS SUMMIT IN BUENOS AIRES IN SEPTEMBER 2017 THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: O FACILITATE TRAINING OF NASA DISASTERS PROGRAM STAFF AND SERVIR STAFF IN THE LINK BETWEEN EARTH OBSERVATION SCIENCE AND THE NEEDS OF THE HUMANITARIAN COMMUNITY. O ASSIST IN RELATIONSHIP BUILDING AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING BETWEEN NASA'S EARTH OBSERVATION COMMUNITY AND HUMANITARIAN STAKEHOLDERS. O ADVISE IN THE CAPACITY BUILDING OF NASA PARTNERS AND STAKEHOLDERS IN DISASTER RELATED AREAS OF USING EARTH OBSERVATION DATA INFORMATION TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES. O IMPROVE SERVIR'S UNDERSTANDING OF ENTRY POINTS FOR THE USAGE OF EARTH OBSERVATION INFORMATION IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION. O EXPLORE AND FACILITATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTEXTUALIZING FORECASTS FOR INUNDATION CAUSED BY HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES INFLUENCED BY DAMS. O EXPLORE INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNICATION WITH DISASTERS AND AT-RISK COMMUNITIES (I.E. ART VIRTUAL REALITY ETC.). RELEVANCE TO NASA: NASA'S MISSION IS STATED AS "TO ADVANCE U.S. SCIENTIFIC SECURITY AND ECONOMIC INTERESTS THROUGH A ROBUST SPACE EXPLORATION PROGRAM" AND IN PARTICULAR "TO STUDY EARTH FROM SPACE TO ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING AND MEET SOCIETAL NEEDS." THESE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES ARE DIRECTLY TIED TO UNDERSTANDING AND MEETING SOCIETAL NEEDS. NASA APPLIED SCIENCES PROGRAM AIMS AT BRINGING EARTH OBSERVATIONS TO IMPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION MAKING. THROUGH ITS GLOBAL MANDATE IN SUPPORTING HUMANITARIAN RESPONSES DURING THE TIMES OF CRISES RED CROSS HAS A UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT TO ASSESS THE TRUE END USER NEEDS TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE NEEDS AND ACHIEVABLE IMPACTS THROUGH INCLUSION OF EARTH OBSERVATIONS. THE DISASTERS PROGRAM'S MANDATE FITS WELL WITH THE PARADIGM UNDER WHICH RED CROSS OPERATES AND THESE ACTIVITIES ARE AIMED AT BRINGING RED CROSS'S EXPERIENCE TO IMPROVE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISASTERS AND SERVIR PROGRAMS FOR A MORE EFFECTIVE AND IMPACTFUL USE OF EARTH OBSERVATIONS IN THE DISASTERS PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE COMMUNITY. WHILE NASA IS DIRECTLY BENEFITTING FROM THESE OBJECTIVES HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE RED CROSS WILL SUBSEQUENTLY BENEFIT AS NASA'S IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND PROCESSES WILL LEAD TO IMPROVED DEVELOPMENT AND TAILORING OF EARTH OBSERVATION DERIVED PRODUCTS.$60,768
