The document discusses natural disasters that occur in Afghanistan. It outlines the types of common disasters including landslides, floods, earthquakes, and drought. It then focuses on specific examples of landslides in Badakhshan and Takhar provinces and flooding in Kabul. The document also discusses the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) which coordinates disaster response but is currently only equipped for post-disaster activities rather than prevention and early warning. It concludes by discussing goals such as implementing early warning systems and using technology like GIS to better predict and mitigate natural disasters.

Natural Disasters In Afghanistan Information Engineering Department The Ryukyus University Mohammad Kazem Naseri Research Student Introductory Paper- 15th October 2014
Background Bachelor of Geology and Mining, Balkh University. Geotechnical Drilling Engineer Across Afghanistan, Reconstruction Projects. Drilling Geologist With Ministry of Mines and petroleum of Afghanistan, Geological Survey Department.
Outline Introduction Types of disasters Badakhshan and Takhar landslides Kabul Flooding Chaman Fault ANDMA Coordination mechanism Resent affected Provinces ANDMA known as Post disaster response Future Prospects Technological Tools Requirements Challenges Goals
Introduction: People suffer from natural disasters every year in Afghanistan. In some provinces, people lost their properties and lives. The must critical disasters are earthquake, landslides, drought and floods which are cased enormous lost, humanitarian, and financial resources. In recent years, more investment on reconstruction projects have been done in Afghanistan. But, unfortunately, in the mining sector or natural disaster risk reduction, very less investment and assessment.

Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) ANDMA was established in 1971: to coordinate and manage disaster-related affairs. acts as Secretariat of National Disaster Management Committee (PDMC). a Provincial Disaster Committee is set up in each of the 34 provinces. ANDMA formulates and execute policies, strategies, plans and monitors the progress. ANDMA strengthens coordination with line ministries ANDMA strengthens coordination with the humanitarian community.
Coordination Mechanism President Second Vice President Office Ministries/ANDMA NGOS/UN Provincial Offices in all 34 Provinces
Jan-May 2014 - Floods and Landslides Total Affected Families: 14,115 Total Affected Individuals: 97,039 Houses Partially Damaged: 890 Houses Severely Damaged: 5,879 Houses Completely Damaged: 5,395 Total number of families affected in landslides PROVINCE Families Affected Badakhshan 700 Bamyan 100 Baghlan 100 Takhar 118 TOTAL 1018
Current Governmental Disaster Prevention Authority ANDMA is the official Department in Afghanistan dealing with natural disasters. ANDMA is based in Kabul and has provincial offices in all provinces. According the resources, knowledge, equipment and expertise ANDMA have access too, is recognized as POST Disaster Response. Which is not sufficient to rescue people lives and quick timely action before and after disaster events happened. Therefore, it is necessary for ANDMA to be developed and equipped with every necessary tools, resources and knowledge to meet the urgent needs of people.
Graphic examples from the field
Future Prospects Building Functional Information Management System. Vulnerabilities Assessment. Prediction of Rock Avalanches (Google Earth etc). Prediction of Snow Avalanches (Weather forecasts etc). Prediction of Flooding Areas (GIS etc). Prediction of Seismic Vulnerability (building types etc) Capacity Building of Provincial Disaster Management Offices. Disaster Risk Reduction awareness at community levels. Prevention and mitigation projects.
Technological Tools Requirements In all proposed development plan of ANDMA or Afghan Geological Survey in order to have sufficient data and information sources for the further plan and action, requires GIS application and other communication technologies.
Challenges: Lack of DRR(disaster risk reduction). Lack of tools(GIS, GPS, Internet, etc.) Lack of early warning system. Limitation in relief stocks. Insufficient facilities for search and rescue. Lack of Scientific Study. Lack of Professional Employee
Goals learning about mitigation plan and procedures. Apply GIS Application in order to survey and make reliable data Packages for Investors and International donors in Afghanistan. Search and study about Early Warning System to reduce the risk of natural disaster. Identifying of hazardous landslides on the villages and share the risk with local people.
THANK YOU!
