Geographic Information System (GIS) is critical in understanding the complexity of WFP operations and optimising our responses. GIS provides in-depth analysis and visualises situations on the ground to provide WFP staff with up to date I see GIS in action on a daily basis in our emergency and accurate intelligence. operations across the globe and at all levels of the emergency management of a response. From our GIS is used in all stages of the disaster cycle – field staff that need detailed operational maps to from preparedness to response and at times, HQ senior management where information on recovery. Even in the most remote locations or key indicators is essential in making life-saving where infrastructure has been destroyed, we are decisions. When I was acting as Emergency constantly gathering data, from satellites, drones, Coordinator in the early phases of emergency apps and mobile phones, to support our emergency response in Northeast Nigeria, spatial analysis response. In order to utilise the full potential of GIS played a crucial role in ensuring we had the most we need to work together with all stakeholders, up to date and accurate data available. GIS allowed internal and external, to continue to bridge the gap us to combine food security information, from the between needs from the field and services offered rapid field assessments, conflict hotspots and access by different partners. constraints, to develop a clear understanding of where the needs and threats were and the best WFP is constantly utilising new and cutting-edge means to reach the hardest hit communities. technologies to ensure we are better prepared and able to provide humanitarian assistance to every This catalogue is just a small selection of the corner of the globe as and when it is needed.

Many of these people are in remote and inaccessible areas. When emergencies hit, previously accessible areas often become cut-off. Knowing how to rapidly reach these locations with lifesaving support is critical to the work of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). 2019The Geospatial Support Unit at WFP uses cutting-edge geospatial technology to visualize and analyze the areas we work in. The Unit produces over 2,000 maps every year to support Country Offices, Regional Bureaux and Headquarters in providing global assistance to over 86million people. The Unit is a data hub - collecting diverse datasets such as food security indicators, environmental factors, conflict data, climate data and weather forecasts. In-depth analysis of this data and spatial visualization products enable WFP staff to develop insights into complex dynamics and inform decision- making. WFP is constantly developing the latest technological advancements to create new products and improve existing technologies. From Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Satellite Remote Sensing, geospatial technology is integrated into most of WFP’s work in fighting global hunger. This catalogue showcases the diverse projects and products that use geospatial technology to inform WFP and WFP-led cluster operations. 5 DISASTER CYCLE • HTA • ICA • SpaRC • Flood detection • Land degradation and preliminary analysis impact analysis • General Logistic Planning Map • Access constraints, Concept of Operations PREPAREDNESS RESPONSE Disaster Management Cycle EARLY WARNING • ADAM Tropical Storms/Rainfall • ADAM Earthquakes 6 PREPAREDNESS In the vision of Early Warning to Early Action, the preparedness phase is crucial for providing rapid geospatial support during major emergencies. This phase includes data preparedness, having standard operating procedures in place and capacity building. ‘Data preparedness’ is the ability of organizations to be ready to responsibly and effectively deploy and manage data collection and analysis tools, techniques and strategies in a specific operational context before a disaster strikes. Data that is limited and less organized prolong or inhibit the ability to make informed decisions. Inaccurate/ insufficient data may lead to poor understanding of the actual risk associated with any disaster. In the wake of an emergency, if data is not in an easily usable and well-defined format, it decreases the efficiency of map production. Being data ready would aid in providing immediate response with curated products. Effective disaster preparedness provides a platform to design realistic and coordinated planning, by reducing duplication of efforts and increasing the collaboration between different agencies, households and communities. This section highlights a few of the crucial products made available before an emergency strikes. 7 # ! ! # # ! 36°50'0"E 36°55'0"E 37°0'0"E 37°5'0"E ! 37°10'0"E 37°15'0"E ! 37°20'0"E 37°25'0"E 37°30'0"E 37°35'0"E # ! 3 3 3 3 3# ! # 3 3 3 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 ! 39 40 41 42 43 44 ! 45 !46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 !
