UN-GGIM WG-Disasters Task Group B Task Group B https://ggim-exercise.github.io/ Objective: exemplify a practical UN Geospatial cooperation to support emergency response and disaster risk reduction. Functions: 1. facilitate the preparation of scenario-based exercises on different hazards. 2. improve the availability of interoperable geospatial information by encouraging free and open data access. 4
5. UN-GGIM WG-Disasters Task Group B Task Group B: active participants Albania, China, Japan, Sweden, Uzbekistan MapAction, ESCAP, UNITAR-UNOSAT, GeoThings, UNGIS Each of us has its mission in DRR. Still, we have no common scenario. Further participation is welcome so that we can find good common scenarios. We also resolved to meet to do so. 5
