[CODATA-international] Policy Brief: Harnessing data to accelerate the transition from disaster response to recovery

[Asha CODATA]

The CODATA Task Group on FAIR Data for Disaster Risk Research
<https://codata.org/initiatives/task-groups/fair-data-for-disaster-risk-research/>
has
produced a Policy Brief as input to the seventh session of the Global
Platform (GP2022), organized by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction
(UNDRR) from 23 to 28 May 2022, in Bali, Indonesia. This policy brief
entitled ‘Harnessing data to accelerate the transition from disaster
response to recovery’ was published alongside policy briefs from the
International Science Council on the same occasion
https://council.science/gp2022-diaster-risk-reduction/

*Harnessing data to accelerate the transition from disaster response to
recovery*
A number of challenges are usually faced following a disaster, including
ineffective coordination between parties at both local and international
levels, limited resources and financial constraints. These challenges
have numerous complex factors, which lead to long response times and even
longer recovery times, causing a great deal of tension, in addition to
other cascading problems in the communities affected by the disaster. It is
proposed to set up baseline data with integrated data repository for
disaster response to accelerate the transition between response and
recovery phases. This would enable the world to better understand the
health, social, economic, environmental, and other problems that arise
when we fail to invest adequately in combating natural hazards. Using
different domain data could enhance management to deal with the emergency
response process and enable a swift transition from the response to the
recovery phase.
