NEW DELHI, OCT 19, 2024: THE ITU-UN Disaster Risk Reduction workshop themed "Reimagining Disaster Risk Reduction: The Role of Standardization and Innovative Technologies," event took place yesterday as a side event at the ITU-WTSA 2024 being held in New Delhi. UNCCD and CDRI co-organized the Workshop together with UNDRR and ITU bringing together experts from various fields to explore how advanced technologies can enhance disaster management. The workshop called for deeper cross-sector collaboration to harness the power of emerging technologies and standardized approaches to tackle critical disaster-related challenges.

The session featured opening remarks from Dr. Neeraj Mittal, Secretary, Department of Telecommunications who said, "Yesterday technology is converging so rapidly in terms of its capabilities, platforms and devices, that the day is not far away when maybe a single technology can do everything, that is trend I can see going forward." On the subject of disaster mitigation, he mentioned "telecom is a horizontal technology on which all other technologies are highly dependent and therefore this is the right moment to sit down and discuss all these issues". He further highlighted that lot of early warning systems have been developed in India preventing a lot of disasters like cell broadcast technology which has been developed by C-DoT, only the second vendor in the world. He concluded by saying we should use all the available technologies to reduce the risk posed by disasters to humanity.

The workshop focused on showcasing the transformative potential of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, digital twins, drones, remote sensing, and blockchain in mitigating the impact of disasters. Participants discussed how these technologies can improve prediction accuracy, optimize response times, and streamline recovery efforts. Central to the discussions was the role of standardization in integrating these innovations to enhance global resilience against disasters.

Tomas Lamanauskas, Deputy Secretary-General, ITU remarked "Disasters are unfortunately increasing in both frequency and intensity. Both traditional & advanced / emerging technologies like Satellites, AI can surely help but they are also vulnerable. ITU as an organisation has a lot of activities in this regard. It is monitoring from space as well as providing for an emergency telecommunications cluster to make sure communications are working when the natural calamities hit us."
