2015年8月28日 聯(lián)合國亞太經(jīng)濟和社會委員會今天在一份新聞公報中指出，該機構(gòu)發(fā)起一項新的災害風險管理網(wǎng)上電子學習平臺，以幫助亞太地區(qū)各國，特別是災害多發(fā)國家，加強復原能力建設，以從災害中早日恢復。
　　公報指出，該機構(gòu)此次這次發(fā)起的“災害風險管理地理參考信息系統(tǒng)”網(wǎng)站提供了先進的網(wǎng)上課程，包括空間技術(shù)以及早期預警和多災害評估地理信息系統(tǒng)的運用。聯(lián)合國副秘書長兼亞太經(jīng)社會執(zhí)行秘書阿赫塔爾指出，過去45年里以來，亞太地區(qū)發(fā)生自然災害使該地區(qū)60億民眾受到影響，200多萬人死亡，造成的經(jīng)濟損失高達1.15萬億美元。他強調(diào)，災難管理需要多層面地展開，匯集來自不同渠道的相關信息，將空間數(shù)據(jù)與現(xiàn)有的社會經(jīng)濟數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)合起來，以幫助各國做出更加明智的決定，以挽救更多人的生命。
　　28 August 2015 The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific （ESCAP） released a statement and said that they have launched an innovative new online e-learning platform on disaster risk management to help countries in the region – the world’s most disaster prone - build their capacities to withstand， adapt to and recover from natural disasters.
　　The Geo-referenced Information Systems for Disaster Risk Management （Geo-DRM） portal offers state-of-the-art courses on space technology， along with Geographic Information System （GIS） applications for early warning and multi-hazard risk assessment. United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ESCAP， Dr. Shamshad Akhtar， said that over the past 45 years， natural disasters in Asia and the Pacific have affected 6 billion people， led to more than 2 million deaths and caused major economic losses totaling US$1.15 trillion. She stressed that disaster management required a multi-disciplinary approach， collating and consolidating information from various sources， incorporating spatial data into existing socioeconomic data. These would help governments to make more informed decisions， ultimately saving more lives.
