ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS 1. The Asia-Pacific Conference on Early Warning, Prevention, Preparedness and Management of Disasters in Food and Agriculture was convened by FAO from 12 to 15 June, 2001 at the Amari Rincome Hotel in Chiangmai, Thailand. Participants from eighteen member countries of FAO, and representatives form six international organizations and NGOs attended the Conference. The list of delegates is attached as Annex I. 2. Mr. Tongchai Petcharatana, Representative of the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Thailand, delivered the opening address. The Assistant Director-General and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific presented the keynote statement. The opening address and keynote statement are attached as Annexes II and III respectively. 3. The Conference elected three participants with ministerial rank, namely, H.E. Mr. It Nody, Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Cambodia; H.E. Mr. Sompal, Member of Planning Commission, India; and H.E. Mr. D.M. Jayaratne, Minister of Agriculture, Sri Lanka as co-chairpersons. The Conference also elected Mr. Samuel M. Contreras, Chief, Water Resources Management Division, Bureau of Soils and Water Management, Philippines as rapporteur. 4. The Conference adopted its agenda and timetable as attached in Annex IV. The list of documents is attached as Annex V. II. STRENGTHENING EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC 5. The Conference considered agenda item 3 on Strengthening Early Warning Systems (EWS) for Food and Agriculture in Asia and the Pacific, based on Secretariat document APDC/01/2 (attached as Annex VI). 6. It discussed the role of EWS in preventing and mitigating disaster-induced food insecurity; basic elements of an effective EWS; and the guidance gleaned from the experiences of FAO’s Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS). 7. The Conference noted that the nature of food and agricultural emergencies has changed over the past 20 years. Man-made disasters such as war, civil strife, economic crisis, and the plunder of natural resources have become as worrisome as natural hazards that cause food insecurity. This shift from primarily supply-driven to both supply and demand-driven crises requires that EWS also change its structural and functional organization to remain effective. 1 8. It further observed that fortunately, new technologies have raised the state of the art significantly. In this regard, GIEWS methodologies, tools and technologies such as the country cereal balance sheet, the rapid assessment mission, the geographic information system, satellite imagery and the electronic news service that are integrated in the GIEWS Workstation were discussed. With the use of this system that is linked to a unique reference database, analysts can assess rainfall and vegetation, supply and utilization and other indicators to provide warnings of impending disasters. A suggestion was made that methodologies for assessing food availability and accessibility at the local level should be improved. 9. The Conference learnt that FAO’s staple foods supply utilization accounts are updated on a continuous basis. Such accounts provide forecasts of up to one year on stocks, production, net trade and use. 10. An FAO GIEWS expert gave

  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Wave Data Recording Program Dunk Island 1998-2002
    Wave data recording program Dunk Island 1998–2002 Coastal Services data report No. W2004.2 ISSN 1449–7611 Abstract This report provides summaries of primary analysis of wave data recorded in water depths of approximately 20m relative to lowest astronomical tide, 12.7km north of Dunk Island and 8km northeast of Clump Point in north Queensland. Data was recorded using a Datawell Waverider buoy, and covers the periods from 18 December 1998 to 12 November 2002. The data was divided into seasonal groupings for analysis. No estimations of wave direction data have been provided. This report has been prepared by the EPA’s Coastal Services Unit, Environmental Sciences Division. The EPA acknowledges the following team members who contributed their time and effort to the preparation of this report: John Mohoupt; Vince Cunningham; Gary Hart; Jeff Shortell; Daniel Conwell; Colin Newport; Darren Hanis; Martin Hansen and Jim Waldron.

  • Wave Data Recording Program
    Wave data recording program Queensland wave climate annual summary for season 2000–01 Coastal Services data report No. 2000.3 ISSN 1449–7611 Foreword This summary of wave climate in Queensland is the earliest of the series of technical wave reports that will be prepared annually by the Coastal Services Unit. It represents a change in the way wave data is presented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Previously, the wave data recording program technical report series comprised separate reports prepared for each region, covering all data recorded at a site from deployment to date of report. Annual reports will not replace the more comprehensive regional reports. Instead, they will serve to supplement and enhance the reporting ability of the Coastal Services Unit by providing more timely information on wave climates in Queensland. Regional wave data reports will continue to provide the more thorough, long-time presentation of regional conditions. Using the information presented annually, it is hoped that in future, regional reports will be updated every five years. Annual reports will cover the year from 1 November to 31 October. The start of the reporting year therefore coincides with the start of the annual cyclone season that extends from 1 November through to 30 April. This period is also classed as summer in both this annual report and the regional technical reports. The remainder of the year (1 May to 31 October) is classed as winter in these reports. Annual reports present wave information in a similar format to the regional reports, however they also include (for the first time), plots of monthly average significant wave heights and directional wave rose (where possible).

Because a suitable national consultant was unavailable at that time, SOPAC provided the services of its Energy Adviser. In addition to discussions in Port Vila, there were field trips to visit renewable energy projects (and potential project sites) on the islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo. Unfortunately the head of Government Energy Unit and several other key staff were unavailable for discussions during the mission’s visit. The local offices of the international oil companies were unwilling to provide any information on their product sales, an omission that has hindered some analysis. This report reviews the status of energy sector activities in Vanuatu through February 2004. An earlier draft of this report was reviewed by the Vanuatu National PIREP Committee (the National Advisory Committee on Climate Change), which provided thoughtful, useful and substantive feedback, and by Secretariat Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC), United Nations Development Programme and others.
