Lecture: Disaster Mitigation and Prediction


By: Prof.Fusanori MIURA
1. Background
It is commonly accepted that a disaster is defined as “a serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events
interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability, and capacity, leading to one
or more of the following: human, material, economic and environmental losses,
and impacts” (UNISDR 2018, authors’ emphasis in (Chmutina & Meding, 2019)).
The coastal land where the land and sea meet has a unique characteristic and it
became interesting to be observed. Either for natural resources and its natural
disaster. The area where I lived as described below, has faced some natural
disasters. Tanjungpinang city geographically located at 0.918773◦N
104.455415◦E. It covers a land area of 144.56 km2, mainly on the southern Bintan
Island, as well as other smaller islands such as Dompak Island and Penyengat
Island. With an estimated population of 227,663 as of 2020 Tanjungpinang, whose
name is taken from the position of a beech tree that juts into the sea – occupies a
strategic location on the south of Bintan Island, guarding the mouth of the Bintan
River.
Tanjungpinang has ferry and speedboat connections to Batam, Singapore (40 km
away) and Johor Bahru (wikipedia, 2021). As located near the coastal area, a
natural disaster may occur in this area such as storm surge, inundation, and
flooding.

Figure 2 shows that during the heavy rain on January 2nd and 10th 2021, some places on
Tanjungpinang city have faced landslide. According to the news, 14 houses were broken,
fortunately, there are no human casualties. Figure 3 shows that the rescue team evacuates
the people using a rubber boat because the flood has reached more than 1 meter.

Figure 4 shows that the government visits the landslide area. This road used to
connect Tanjungpinang City and Bintan District especially to the industry area in
Bintan. This area also become one of the hazardous places during the heavy rain
which hit the Tanjungpinang-Bintan area on January 2nd and 10th, 2021. To detail,
the number of natural disasters that occur in Tanjung pinang city, based on the Book
of “Tanjungpinang Municipality in Figures 2021” (BPS Tanjungpinang, 2021)
shown in the tables down.

2. Method
As the technologies become advanced, monitoring which one of the ways to get the
data to become easier nowadays. The land where the observation took a place can
be monitored using satellite as an imagery recorder. This method is called remote-
sensing. Remote Sensing provides a critical source of data (Seeni Mohd and
Mansor 2000; Samarasinghea et al. 2010; Dano Umar et al. 2011 in (Dang &
Kumar, 2017)). Accurate estimation of precipitation has always been one of the
most challenging physical-based tasks due to its large spatial and temporal
variability on a regional and global scale. Recent technological advances in the
ground- and space-borne remote-sensing precipitation measurements allow us to
produce near-real-time rainfall estimates at high spatial and temporal resolutions,
from hundreds of kilometers up to quasi-global coverage, making this data
potentially useful for hydrological and other applications (Varlas, et al., 2018).
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are important as common data analysis
frameworks in modeling (Tianhong et al. 2003; Shen et al. 2005 in (Dang &
Kumar, 2017)). In hydrological modeling specifically, GIS can be used to construct
flooding projection models in catchments, and to prepare and analyze multi-scale
and multi-source spatial data (Merwade et al. 2008; Gallegos et al. 2009 in (Dang
& Kumar, 2017)). The flow chart below describes how satellite data being used in
disaster mitigation as a technique to prevent or mitigate natural disasters.

3. Conclusion
As described in the background, it is answered the natural disaster that interests me
the most is related to the natural disaster which occurs on the land where I live such
as floods, slope failures, and high tide. Studying these things has made me feeling
become more responsible to lessen the casualties of the disaster by analyze the data
and make an informative report as a mitigation method. Remote sensing combine
with GIS has made advanced tools to monitor, observe and mitigate natural
disasters.
