Disaster RiskReduction (DRR)
requires accurate andup-to-date spatial
information as well as GITHRAwell-trained expertswho can provide this
information.
The GITHRA project is a concerted, ambitious
and unique attempt to build capacity on theapplication of modern Geo-IT for Hazard Risk
Assessment (HRA) and Disaster RiskReduction (DRR).
Staff of the Vietnamese Ministry of Agricultureand Rural Development (MARD) and its
Vietnam is located in one of the storm
centers in the world, in one of the regionsmost hit by natural disasters and in one of
most vulnerable regions when it comes to
climate change impact.
The Asian Development Bank gives toppriority to natural disaster control programs

to the Government of Vietnam with theEmergency Rehabilitation of Calamity
Damage Project (ERCDP).
An essential component of the assistance is
be able to contribute to DRR efforts by
providing relevant and accurate spatialinformation and to carry out complex spatial
Hazard Risk Analyses. This should contributeto a better understanding of disasters and
support the development of mitigation options.
and implement DRR measures. Therefore
the ADB initiated the Technical Assistance(TA-7220-VIE) package Geo-information
Technology for Hazard Risk Assessment
(GITHRA) for the Vietnamese Government.
Disasters are spatial phenomena and theassessment of areas under high risk
requires the use state of the art Geo-IT
technologies like Geographical InformationSystems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS).

The methodology for Multi-Hazard Risk
Assessment in Vietnam has been fully integrated
in a set of two books that form the core of thetraining materials:

Yen Bai Case Study SiteThe city of Yen Bai was selected as
a case study site to test theapplicability of the MHRA
methodology developed in GITHRAin the Vietnamese context. Yen Bai
is the provincial capital of the
rovince with the same name. The
The Yen Bai dataset is added to the
training package and forms part of theexercises and the Final Assignments.
Examples of the final assignments done
by the GITHRA participants:
1) Flood hazard assessment in Yen Bai .old center is located on the
floodplain of the Red River and thenewly developed parts encroach
into the surrounding hills.
Yen Bai suffers frequently from alluvial
flooding from the Red River, flash floodsfrom the tributaries coming from the hills
and landslides due to slope cuts. In 2008
2) Flood damage to houses and people3) Economic flood loss assessment
4) Shelter location assessment in YenBai for flood disasters
5) Flood risk preparedness

the city was severely flooded andexperienced numerous landslides due to
typhoon Kummari.
For the case study a geo-spatial database
was constructed that includestopographical information, elevation data,
high-resolution satellite imagery, landcover a a, e c. un ng
automatic meteo-stations were installed aswell as water-level monitoring station at
various locations in the study area. Thesestations will provide temporal informationon rainfall and stream runoff which will be
vital for future flood hazard analyses. Alsogeo-technical data relevant for slope-
