| Description: | The focus of this report addresses some of the challenges facing developing nations with their disaster management systems, reducing the vulnerability of an event and subsequent disasters which can affect a nation's infrastructure and population. The "Ring of Fire" Region was selected as it is an area of high seismic activity and subsequent events that follows an earthquake. The team had a focus on the importance of using space-based positioning, navigation, and timing services to improve aspects of disaster management plans, and to reduce the vulnerability of an event and subsequent disaster to a nation's infrastructure and population. |
