The 2020 e-Asia Pacific Science and Technology Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction (eAPSTCDRR), co-hosted by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the Government of Malaysia, was held on October 15. The conference was originally scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur in March, but later changed to a webinar in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme was to discuss the scientific and technological progress of disaster risk reduction in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the application of advanced technologies (e.g. big data) in disaster risk reduction of the Asia-Pacific region. Chen Fang, the Researcher and Deputy Director of SDIM, spoke about “Big Earth Data platform for DRR and SDGs”. He introduced the DRR technology and data platform of SDIM to disaster relief organizations and disaster reduction research units in Asia and Oceania, and expanded SDIM’s influence in science and technology for disaster risk reduction.
