A Collaborative Multi-agency Platform for Building Resilient Communities

Lead Research Organisation: University of Salford
Department Name: Sch of Science,Engineering & Environment

Abstract

There is significant evidence of the growth of natural disasters on a global level. The Asia-Pacific region continues to be the world's most disaster prone region; it has many low-/middle-income countries and accounted for 47% of the world's 344 disasters in 2015 with 16,046 fatalities and reported economic damage in the region of US$ 5.1 Billion. In this context, the most disaster-prone sub-region is South Asia, recording 52 disasters and 14,647 deaths, representing 64% of the global fatalities, in 2015.

Scientific research has shown that disaster risks do not only exist because of the presence of a physical hazard; they are compounded by the presence of vulnerability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to shift our focus from pure emergency response and recovery towards a sustainable disaster mitigation framework that focuses on building resilience within a disaster prone area, involving government agencies and the local community to reduce the impact of a hazard. However, at present there is a lack of tools and methods available to agencies to enable them to come together to understand the underlying vulnerabilities of a disaster prone area and build resilience to reduce disaster impact on a community.

Digital technology has the potential for creating a collaboration environment for various agencies and communities to act collectively to reduce the impact of disasters. The goal of this project is to develop a Collaborative Multi-agency Platform that can be used for building resilient communities in disaster prone areas in low-/middle-income countries. The project will focus on the challenges faced by three countries: Malaysia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. These countries are frequently affected by a multitude of natural hazards including floods, landslides, cyclones, droughts, and earthquakes and have therefore been chosen as the focus for this research to capture broader set of disaster conditions and requirements common to low-/middle-income countries.

The project aims to address the following research questions: What is the nature of a resilience framework that will allow low-/middle-income countries to assess their vulnerabilities and resilience capabilities and take measures to build resilient communities? How can we enhance multi-agency collaboration within low-/middle-income countries? What changes are required in terms of technology, organizational structures and collaboration processes to enhance multi-agency collaboration? What are the characteristics of a collaboration platform that can support collective vulnerability assessment and reduction by multi-agencies? How can we establish a system dynamic model that can support the simulation of cascading effect on critical infrastructure systems due to a hazard? How can we construct a collaborative 3D environment based on near real-time 3D satellite data and analysis for supporting early response and damage assessment after a major disaster? In addressing itself to these questions, the project will lead to development of an advanced digital platform that can be used in low-/middle-income countries to strengthen their resilience capacities for disaster.

The project team is comprised of University of Salford (THINKlab & Centre for Disaster Resilience), the Universities of Moratuwa & Colombo (Sri Lanka), Tun Hussein Onn University (Malaysia) and the University of Peshawar (Pakistan). This team will be supported by a broad set of project partners, including industry and government agencies who are playing a key role in disaster resilience city agenda in UK, including: the Cabinet Office Civil Contingencies Secretariat, the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, Rockefeller Foundation, Environment Agency, the Satellite Applications Catapult, Telespazio Vega Ltd and Secure Information Assurance Ltd. Similarly, in each partner country we have established industry and government agency stakeholder groups to engage and steer the project to achieve a greater impact.

Planned Impact

Key beneficiaries:

1. Disaster Management Agencies (DMAs) and authorities responsible for managing natural hazards in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan will benefit. They will be members of both the Project and Local Steering Committees and will be actively engaged in the Co-creation Workshops and Dissemination Conferences. As the bodies responsible for coordinating pre- and post-disaster efforts, they will greatly benefit from the Collaborative Multi-agency Platform (CMP) and the Resilience Framework, which will be demonstrated through real life simulations. The platform will empower them with the tools for comprehensive risk assessment and preparedness, and for the early response stages of a disaster. As government representatives, these agencies will be able to feed insights back into central government departments, shaping policy decisions and influencing the behaviour change required for an effective wider implementation of the CMP protocols.

2. Local authorities attempting to promote wellbeing and improve the quality of life of communities in a range of cities within our sample frame: for instance, the Federation of Sri Lankan Government Authorities, the Malacca Historic City Council (Malaysia), and the Ministry of Rural Support and Local Government (Pakistan). They will be members of both the Project and Local Steering Committees. As with the DMAs, they will also be actively engaged in the Co-creation Workshops and ongoing dissemination. Engagement in the project will enable local authorities to streamline public service provision, improving their ability to meet selected KPI's (due to an enhanced understanding of capacity and vulnerability scales) and how best to target individual areas and communities via CMP.

3. The Civil Contingencies Secretariat of the Cabinet Office, the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum, the Environment Agency and the Rockefeller Foundation will directly benefit from this project. They will enhance their understanding as to how vulnerability is understood within a global context and how innovative tools emerging from this project could transform the way they support multi-agency collaboration in the UK in building resilience. They will be able to influence the disaster resilience work within the Contingencies Secretariat of the Cabinet Office, the Resilience Emergency Division of the Local Government Department and 42 UK Local Resilience Forums by deploying the results arising from this project.

4. IT companies will learn how to transform their offers to support disaster management: for instance, the Centre for Governance Innovation (Sri Lanka), Inaratech (Pakistan) Satellite Applications Catapult, Secure IA and Telespazio VEGA, will directly benefit from this project. They will gain a greater understanding of how best to refine satellite technologies, big data platform, data governance procedures, web-based solutions and visualisation applications to create products to serve the disaster management organisations world wide.

5. CMP will help the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center to understand local, national and regional risks and incorporate them in their risk reduction initiatives and disseminate the knowledge.

6. The academic and scientific communities will benefit from the new knowledge created in areas such as resilience frameworks, vulnerability and resilience modelling through system dynamics and multi-agency collaboration platforms.

7. Through the partnerships outlined above, statutory service providers (e.g. ambulance, police and fire) will benefit from the production of a more coordinated and cohesive preparedness and emergency response strategies via the CMP.

8. The ultimate beneficiaries will be vulnerable communities in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan and any other country facing natural disasters. A coordinated early response through CMP will save lives, protect infrastructure, and minimise disruption to communities.

Description The MOBILISE project has developed an innovative digital platform that allows government agencies to share their data to establish a collective understanding of the local risks due to climate-induced hazards and work together to reduce these local risks and build resilience.
The MOBILISE platform, built on a micro-service architecture, offers a set of cloud-based digital services for local and national government agencies to collaborate in building local community resilience. At the heart of the MOBILISE platform is a cloud-based risk information space, referred to as MOBILISE: Data Engine. It allows local councils or local disaster management committees to capture and maintain their local intelligence on exposure, vulnerability and potential hazards. In addition, the MOBILISE: Data Engine offers important data management functionality such as data cleansing, the styling of data layers to enhance visual appearance, attaching of metadata such as the origin of the data layers, year of data collection, star rating based on its quality, security level etc. The risk information within the MOBILISE: Data Engine is used by a range of other digital services available within the MOBILISE platform to perform activities such as evidence-based decision making, multi-agency collaboration, community engagement, real-time environmental data monitoring, early warning system and scenario planning through an easy to use visual interface. Thanks to the innovative and scalable nature of the micro-service architecture, all the digital services are offered to the users using the "Software as a Service" (SaaS) model. The following digital services are offered to the users by the MOBILISE 3.0 platform :

• MOBILISE: Risk Explorer : This tool allows the local stakeholders to explore the local risk information spaces in an interactive manner to establish a common understanding of the local risks (current and future risks due to climate change) in their area.

* MOBILISE: Scenario Generator: This tool allows government agencies to consider possible future hazards due to climate change, and gain an in-depth understanding of the magnitude of the potentially affected population, impacted roads and critical infrastructure, damages and losses within different administrative boundaries.

* MOBILISE: IoT Network Integrator: This tool offers functionalities for integrating disconnected sensor networks to establish better situational intelligence for issuing more accurate early warning messages to the community at risks, during disasters.

* MOBILISE: Early Warning System : This tool allows national or local agencies to digitize their early warning dissemination methods, so that the warnings can be sent more efficiently and effectively to the community at risks, hence potentially saving lives. The built-in reprogrammable MOBILISE workflow system can be used to digitally authorise the early warnings by relevant organisations and send them directly to the citizens living in the risk area, through the MOBILISE MOBISense community app.
Exploitation Route The digital platforms that are being developed by the MOBILISE team can be used by any organization in any country by linking their data sources to the MOBILISE platform.
At present, the MOBILISE platform is being used by PDAM in Peshawar, Sarawak State, NBRO and Kalutara District secretariat in Sri Lanka, Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre in Thailand and the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum in the UK. We hope to establish a company to sustain the success of the platform, ensuring proper technical support and deployment at various countries.

Description March 2017: At this stage, the project has been able to raise the awareness of the importance of multi-agency collaboration in disaster risk reduction and disaster response in the chosen countries Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Malaysia. The local events conducted by the MOBILISE team has brought range of organizations together to show how the integrated knowledge from various stakeholders about cities can be utilized to reduce disaster risks and also response better to disasters. The current version of the MOBILISE digital platform has shown the art of the possibilities for a novel decision making platform for agencies involved in DRR. This platform has inspired many organizations in our partner countries and they are now looking into the integration of such as platform in their disaster risk reduction and disaster response activities, specially in Sri Lanka and Pakistan. March 2018: Several organisations in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Malaysia are now in discussion with the MOBILISE team to use the technology platform that has been developed by the project. Furthermore, MOBILISE project has managed to create an Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Moratuwa in Sri Lanka to establish a sustainable model for strenghtening R&D activities in disaster risk reduction. This centre is comprised of ademics from Civil Engineering, Computer Science, IT, Mechanical Engineering, Quantity Surveying, Town & Country Planning etc. Furthermore, the MOBILISE project managed to establish strong links with National Disaster Managent Centre, NBRO and the MegaPolis Ministry to develop case studies and conduct action based reseach. In Malaysia, the team is now in discussion with the Sarawak Government to deploy the MOBILISE platform and other research outcome. Furthermore the MOBILISE team is in discussion with the Provisional Disaster Management Authority and the National Disaster Management Agency to deploy the MOBILISE platform within their institutons. 2019: This year the MOBILISE team managed to get serious commitment from the disaster management authorities in Sri Lanka, Peshawar (Pakistan) and Sarawak (Malaysia). As a result, the MOBILISE team has signed MOUs with the relevant authorities defining the nature of the engagement. Furthermore, the MOBILISE team has now produced a stable platform for these authorities to trial with in their organisations involving the relevant staff. Furthermore, in order to promote impact and strengthen engagement, the MOBILISE team has donated the MOBILISE platform, installed on a high-end computer and a touch table, to the Disaster Management Centre in Sri Lanka, National Building Research Organisation in Sri Lanka, University of Peshawar, Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) in Peshawar, Uninversity of Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia and Sarawak Government. The hardware component of this donation has been funded through the GCRF QR funds. This donation has now brought further momentum to the MOBILISE project since these authorities have now allocated their staff to work to further develop the MOBILISE platform for their specific needs. T The MOBILSE platform was launched in December 2019 at the NBRO's 10th Symposium on "Equitable Resilience' as well as at the MOBILISE conference on "Technology Enhanced Multi-agency Collaboration Towards Building Equitable Resilience". Similar project launch events are planned for Malaysia and Pakistan. The launch of the MOBILISE platform has now received interest from range of organisations in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Sri Lanka and generated discussion on how best to tailor this platform to suit their needs. The MOBILISE team is now in the process of conducting several system evaluation exercises to assess the suitability of the MOBILISE platform for disaster response, preparedness and mitigation with these authorities with the view to producing academic publications. 2020 : Although 2020 has been challenging due to COVID-19, the team has still been able to make impact any many fonts. Due to the continuous engagement with various disaster management agencies in Peshawar, Sarawak and Sri Lanka, the MOBILISE platform has now been recognised as an important tool by these agencies as an important tool for supporting intelligence based and collaborative approach to DRR and disaster response. As a result the key staff in PDMA in Peshawar and both NBRO and DMC in Sri Lanka are being trained to use the MOBILISE platform for DRR and disaster response. These organisations are now experimenting with the MOBILISE platform to explore new way of working in their disaster management practices. We hope that the uptake of the MOBILISE platform will increase once the pandemic situation is under control. Furthermore, In addition NGOs such as Oxfam and Lions Club have made serious commitment to work with the MOBILISE team to influence community-based disaster management. As a result, the MOBILISE team has managed to initiate community apps and strengthen community infrastructure to allow community participation as well as offer intelligence on emerging disasters to the community. This collaboration is now beginning to make impact in community-based disaster management. 2021: The MOBILISE platform is now a mature technical product which is being used in Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Malaysia. The platform has been redesigned to run as a micro-service architecture to serve multiple tenants from various organisations from different countries. Recently, the team has been successful in getting further funding from the World Bank and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre to pilot the platform in Kalutara District. Furthermore, the team, in collaboration with the Greater Manchester Local Resilience Forum, has been successful in a grant from the DLUHC (Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities) to pilot the MOBILISE platform in Greater Manchester. This project is developing three national demonstrators : RESIDE (Risk Evaluation & Solutions In Digital Engagement), will work on implementing a platform to enable cross-sector partners to collaborate on a detailed understanding of local risk; RISE (Resilience Innovation for Social Engagement), will demonstrate how a digital platform can be used to strengthen community engagement with LRFs in building community resilience against disasters; TIDE (Technology, Innovation, Driving Engagement), will explore how the scenarios developed through the creation of digital platforms, can strengthen training and exercising. 2022: The team has managed to complete the World Bank-funded pilot project in the Kalutara District in Sri Lanka. This was initiated by setting up a Living Lab in Kalutara and implementing three solutions: 1) MOBILISE platform to support multi-agency collaboration in building community resilience against hazards; 2) a community-based mobile app for receiving hazard early warning; 3) a Hazard information dashboard for Emergency Operation Centres. This work has allowed the team to establish a reference site in Sri Lanka and demonstrate the benefit of the use of advanced technology for building community resilience to national disaster management organisations. The MOBILISE team is in discussion with World Bank to scale up these solutions across Sri Lanka. Furthermore, the Living Lab within Sarawak has been progressing slowly. The Malaysian team has managed to mobilise the local agencies to understand the value of the MOBILISE platform and get the agreement on implementing the platform in Sarawak. Furthermore, the LRF Innovation project (funded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities) have been a success. The national three demonstrators developed as a part of this project (RESIDE, RISE and TIDE - see 2021) have been a success and was well received by the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum (GMRF). Discussions are underway with GMRF and the Surrey County Council Emergency Management team to exploit these platforms in the UK. In addition, two MOBILISE training workshops were conducted in Vietnam to introduce the data-driven decision-making concept in DRR for the government agencies in Sri Lanka. Discussions are underway to exploit the possibility of implementing MOBILISE in Vietnam. Further funding has been received from the International Water Management Institute (as a part of Global Green Growth funds) to pilot the MOBILISE platform in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka.

Results and Impact UK update:
The THINKlab and the Lions Club Sri Lanka Lions Clubs International District 306 A1 recently conducted a joint study with the Gampaha District Secretariat and the Divisional Secretariats of Dompe, Biyagama and Kelaniya to identify priorities in relation to flood preparedness.
The results of the study indicated that local level flood early warning is the highest priority in terms of reducing flood risk. As a result, two river water level monitoring systems have been established along the Kelani river with the guidance of the Irrigation Department.
The THINKlab has created a sensor network digital application to disseminate water level information in real-time among the local communities. The project has been a multi-stakeholder collaborative project involving national and local organisations to enhance flood resilience by using state of the art digital technologies.

Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact This webinar showcases four climate adaptation-focused initiatives in Malaysia, which are UK-Malaysia collaborations under the Newton Fund and the Global Challenges Research Fund. The webinar is one of a series of public engagement activities under the Newton-Ungku Omar Fund to disseminate research outcomes and impact with government representatives, industry players, academia, and the general public.

It is also part of the British High Commission's campaign to highlight key UK-Malaysia science partnerships in support of COP26. The webinar is structured as a combination of project presentations, and a panel discussion to explore the value of international scientific collaboration in climate adaptation and resilience.

The four projects are:

1. The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) is a collaborative initiative between the UK Met Office and global counterparts, including in NADMA, Met Malaysia, JPS, and NAHRIM in Malaysia. Launched in 2016, WCSSP aims to develop and improve global and regional forecasting systems and advance the understanding of high-impact weather such as heavy rainfall events and tropical cyclones in Southeast Asia.

2. The Multi-Hazard Platform (MHP) was developed by the University of Cambridge and the Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute (SEADPRI-UKM) to provide forecasting at the local level of climate extremes and physical hazards in Kuala Lumpur. The system provides hi-res 3-day forecasts for rainfall, temperature and air pollution and combines this data with information on areas susceptible to landslides, flash-floods and sinkholes to create a hazard map to inform emergency response.

3. Led by the University of Salford in partnership with University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, MOBILISE is a collaborative multi-agency digital platform for building resilient communities in Sarawak, offering intelligence to a range of agencies to work together to reduce the impact of natural disasters. It helps agencies establish a common understanding of vulnerabilities, exploring "what-if" scenarios, the impact of various hazards on infrastructure, the community and the economy in different local contexts, and improving resilience capacities through various mitigation measures.

4. Building on existing partnerships from the MOBILISE projects, TRANSCEND investigates processes, governance structures, policies and technology that can enable a transition towards a more risk-sensitive and transformative urban development approach. It uses a multi-stakeholder approach to analyse, forecast, visualize and debate disaster risk trade-offs and choose development plans that ensure sustainability and equitable resilience, giving consideration to climate change adaptation.

The event led to requests for further information and also potential future collaboration.

Results and Impact The Seminar/workshop looked at decision making for diverse stakeholders in a complex world. Creating models, whether qualitative or quantitative, improves our understanding of complex situations enabling us to make better informed decisions. Systems Thinking (ST) and System Dynamics (SD) approaches can be used for qualitative and quantitative modelling. During the event reference was made to the MOBILISE project which uses SD to map the cause and effect relationships of community resilience that drives performance and then estimate their behaviour over time using computer simulation. The presentations at this event described instances where ST and SD based approaches have, and are, being used in the North.

Results and Impact UoP Centre for Disaster Preparedness and Management conducted a seminar and an awareness walk to mark the Disaster Risk Reduction Day at University Campus. The commemoration of the day started with the observation of silence for one minute in the classrooms at 8:50 am. Prayers were also offered for the martyrs of various disasters. A large number of students, faculty members and delegates from civil society participated in the walk holding placards and banners with public awareness messages on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. Walk participants stressed behavioural change at all levels. Talking to the media, participants highlighted the need to inspire, educate and raise awareness on how our everyday behaviours affect the local environment and planet. They emphasized introducing people to actions they can implement in their daily routine to mitigate the negative impact of disaster and climate change-induced hazards. Participants said that the number of natural hazards and climate extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world including Pakistan as a result of climate change. That means more flooding, heatwaves, drought and storms such as those we have observed recently across the globe. The only option left is risk reduction, mitigation and adaptation. They said we have been stuck in a vicious cycle of disaster ? response ? dependency ? repeat. The way out is disaster risk reduction (DRR), protecting the lives and livelihoods of communities and individuals who are most vulnerable to disasters.

Results and Impact This webinar showcases four climate adaptation-focused initiatives in Malaysia, which are UK-Malaysia collaborations under the Newton Fund and the Global Challenges Research Fund. The webinar is one of a series of public engagement activities under the Newton-Ungku Omar Fund to disseminate research outcomes and impact with government representatives, industry players, academia, and the general public. It is also part of the British High Commission's campaign to highlight key UK-Malaysia science partnerships in support of COP26. The webinar is structured as a combination of project presentations, and a panel discussion to explore the value of international scientific collaboration in climate adaptation and resilience. The four projects are: 1. The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) is a collaborative initiative between the UK Met Office and global counterparts, including in NADMA, Met Malaysia, JPS, and NAHRIM in Malaysia. Launched in 2016, WCSSP aims to develop and improve global and regional forecasting systems and advance the understanding of high-impact weather such as heavy rainfall events and tropical cyclones in Southeast Asia. 2. The Multi-Hazard Platform (MHP) was developed by the University of Cambridge and the Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute (SEADPRI-UKM) to provide forecasting at the local level of climate extremes and physical hazards in Kuala Lumpur. The system provides hi-res 3-day forecasts for rainfall, temperature and air pollution and combines this data with information on areas susceptible to landslides, flash-floods and sinkholes to create a hazard map to inform emergency response. 3. Led by the University of Salford in partnership with University Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, MOBILISE is a collaborative multi-agency digital platform for building resilient communities in Sarawak, offering intelligence to a range of agencies to work together to reduce the impact of natural disasters. It helps agencies establish a common understanding of vulnerabilities, exploring "what-if" scenarios, the impact of various hazards on infrastructure, the community and the economy in different local contexts, and improving resilience capacities through various mitigation measures. 4. Building on existing partnerships from the MOBILISE projects, TRANSCEND investigates processes, governance structures, policies and technology that can enable a transition towards a more risk-sensitive and transformative urban development approach. It uses a multi-stakeholder approach to analyse, forecast, visualize and debate disaster risk trade-offs and choose development plans that ensure sustainability and equitable resilience, giving consideration to climate change adaptation.

Results and Impact We're delighted to be working in the Kalutara District in #SriLanka to pilot the MOBILISE digital platform and help to build climate resilience and community-based early warnings systems.

Thanks to our partners, the National Building Research Organisation NBRO and the Kalutara District Secretariat, together we have successfully secured an innovation grant to pilot the MOBILISE platform.

This project will help local agencies and communities to work together to build their resilience against climate-induced disasters such as landslides and floods.

The grant is part of the Program for Asia Resilience to Climate Change PARCC, run by The World Bank, funded by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and administered by the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC). Our project is one of 16 winning projects chosen from 236 competitive proposals.

The project was launched on 24 January 2022 by the Kalutara District Secretary and the project team is now preparing the technology to trail in #Kalutara in April 2022. A steering committee comprised of local partners will guide the project.

We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress!

Results and Impact This event was for the Director Generals and key staff from the main public sector stakeholder organisations related to disaster risk management. This round table discussion focused on the academic and industrial contributions for the successive implementation of the disaster management mechanism in Sri Lanka, in a multi-agency collaborative environment. The participants identified the gaps, barriers, enablers and opportunities in creating a multi-agency collaborative environment in DM practices, as well as in improving the academic-practitioner partnerships in the DM sector. Special attention was given to the capacity building in industries to absorb the academic findings.

They also agreed on an approach for establishing digital infrastructure and collaborative processes for strengthening a multi-agency approach to disaster risk reduction in Sri Lanka. It laid the foundation for creating a digital infrastructure for Kaduwela case study for implementing the Sendai Framework priority one on "Understanding Disaster Risks" and priority two on "Strengthening Governance to Manage Disaster Risks".
