Sergio Mora's Profile

Dear DR SERGIO MORA-CASTRO.
We fully agree with your opinion. Must begin with an assessment of multihazard area. We are very interested in your results and methodology.

Please send your e-mail to pdavvs@rambler.ru

We conducted similar work in the North Caucasus (scale 1: 1000 000). We tried to make the method of interconnecting the dangers of individual processes and assessment of geological map of multi-hazard area. The complex includes: seismic hazard, landslides, mudslides, subsidence, karst, fluvial erosion and gully, salinity, water logging, radioactive danger. We are happy to share their findings. But the method and map prepared in Russian:), so the translation may take some time. Sorry, my English not very well.

Merci. We received the report.... Trying to translate.
Viktor

Thank you very much for the report. It is extremely interesting.

From the report it is not clear to me if the data used in mesuring "exposition" both for physical (buildings urban land use) and demographic you use spatial referenced (as in a GIS, or map) or you rely on data vailable from satistics (table) only.

Thank you again

I would like to comment that on behalf of UN-SPIDER, we also have an interest in promoting the use of space-based information for both disaster risk management (including preparedness) and emergency response. In the case of Haiti, the SpaceAid framework established a dedicated webpage to Haiti containing information on the satellites that were tasked and the type of sensors used, as well as links to providers and generators of information on Haiti which included damage assessments. The link is: www.un-spider.org/haiti. However, a subequent visit to Haiti by UN-SPIDER led to the conclusion that it was mostly UN and US agencies which had enough internet bandwidth to download imagery. To this end we provided over 50 gigabytes of imagery and data to Relief web in a physical fashion at the end of January, as they were traveling to Port au Prince to support PDNA effort.
Taking into consideration the fact that UN-SPIDER has been set up to support national agencies in accessing and making use of space-based information to support all phases of the disaster cycle, we feel its importat to support both the National Civil Protection Agency and the National Center for Geo-Spatial Information (CNIGS) so that these two agencies can begin to re-establish their capacities to access such information, and to be able to use it in the future.

Buenos días Sergio, gracias por invitarme a participar de este foro, me parece muy interesante y una buena oportunidad para compartir temas de nuestro interés. un abrazo!

Hola Sergio, gusto de verte por acá. Recién me incorporo a este grupo y a esta forma de comunicación, en la que me declaro medio incompetente... intentaré sumarme al grupo de Haití a ver cómo puedo nutrirme allí y aportar algo, aunque ando con casi nada de tiempo pues estoy en pleno semestre y atendiendo a seis tesistas (lo cual es demasiado para mi...). De todas maneras, nos podemos comunicar más seguido!
Un abrazo, Rogelio.

Sergio, muy bien te lo agradezco. Te queria tambien comentar que acabamos de lanzar la asistencia technica en Djibouti, y todo fue muy bien. Un abrazo desde Addis Ababa, Andrea

I have not yet started my involvement in this forum. You would not be surprised to hear that I have been very busy this year, especially since 12 January.

Hola Sergio, que gusto saber de tí. Voy a revisar la información del foro de Haití para ver si me integro. Saludos.

Hola, mi querido Cofrade Sergio. Celebro el gusto y el honor de compartir intereses contigo y un extenso grupo de célebres y queridos amigos en este grupo. Ya paso a mirar el grupo de Haití. Un abrazo.

Gracias Sergio, ahora estoy en N.Y para el viaje a Haiti. Estaré en Haiti (PaP) desde 15 a 20 por el trabajo de preparacion de Cooperación Japonesa-JICA. Saludos, Hajime

Gracias Sergio, ya me conecte al grupo, saludos.

Por interes en Haiti le escribi. Donde encuentro el reporte de los riesgos multiples? Quisiera leerlo y compartirlo.

José Antonio

Merci Sergio, j'espère avoir assez de temps pour participer

je pense que c'est à cause du site car je me suis juste désabonné du groupe et je rejoins par la suite...

sergio, thanks! its good to be back. And very impressed with the community so far. Look forwarding to getting more involved.

On the question regarding software/models on damage assessment and debris estimation -- are you looking for models that have been applied to the Haiti earthquake exclusively, or models in general. There have been several studies on the Haiti earthquake that have resulted in debris estimates based on Lidar mapping (Purdue University), not modeling. I also believe that some of the modeling companies have used models to estimate total economic loss but I am not familiar with the details. Perhaps, others might have more information.

estimados amigos del grupo Haiti.Nuestra tarea ahora es la preparacion de un prototipo de shelter vivienda para autoconstruir con neumaticos usados de autos obtenidos de basurales o relenos saitarios.usamos los aceros de las gomas como componentes exraordinarios de estructuras que nos permiten resistir huracanes y terremotos.-mezclados con tierra permiten uno de los sistemas de consttruccion mas fuertes y cercanos a costo cero.Lo que facilita la generacion de talleres y pequeñas fabricas aportando ocupacion inmediata con minima calificacion.El sistema permite la construccion de cualquier teama como escuelas,dispensarios,salas de salud,galpones,refugios,etc.-NOS INTERESA ENCONTRAR CONTRAPARTES DE GOBIENRO DE HAITI QUE SOLICITEN OFICIALMENTE EL PAOYO A NUESTRA CANCILLERIA ARGENTINA PARA ASI OBTENER EL RECURSO ECOOMICO PARA VIATICOS.-TAMBIEN ES NECESARIO UBICAR NEUMATICOS EN VARIOS PAISES CERCANOS Y SU FLETADO A HAITI INMEDIATO ,LO QUE PERMITE ALIVIAR LA CONTAMINACION DE BASURALES.-SERA UN PLACER INTERCAMBIAR EXPERIENCIAS Y ENCONTRAR ESTRATEGIAS SUSTENTABLES DE DESARROLLO CON USTEDESUN CORDIAL SALUDO DECARLOS LEVINTON

Serge, te mandé un par de comentarios a tu hotmail sobre el ppt "Haiti-ignite".
