Accomplishments and limitations The Binahaan River LFEWS has been operating since 2007 and largely without flaws (see also http://www.leyte.org.ph/binahaan/). This means it did not miss a single flooding event and it did not issue a false alarm. It was activated 13 times, giving residents between 3 and 10 hours to move possessions and evacuate. This also includes warnings at Level 1 that do not always lead to a Level 2 situation. A survey revealed that the majority of inhabitants of the flood-prone area are satisfied with the LFEWS, and that flood damage has been reduced. The data currently available for the hydrology and characteristics of the watershed (e.g. slope map) are not sufficiently precise to run actual computer flood models. This is a constraint, especially when it comes to rare but very high floods not experienced by the generation of people currently living in the river basin. It was also observed that data gathering by community volunteers is at times erratic and does not provide enough reliability for basing the whole system on volunteer contributions. The LFEWS introduced here is an effective tool to issue early warnings and thus increase preparedness and reduce damage. However, disaster risk management (DRM) is a comprehensive strategy that should also include other aspects of risk reduction, such as careful urban and regional planning (e.g. prohibiting settlements in highly flood-prone areas), or flood hazard reduction via afforestation in the watershed (Smith, 2004; Wisner et al., 2003). Geoinformatics has been shown to be highly useful for all aspects of DRM and virtually all natural hazard types (Ebert et al., 2009; Kerle et al., 2008; Zhang and Kerle, 2008), but a real effort is needed to set up and maintain such systems, 62 which includes building and retaining the required human and technical capacity to lead to a lasting increase in capacity to face environmental hazards (Smit and Pilifosova, 2003). The Binahaan system demonstrates how low-cost solutions can be as effective as expensive monitoring installations, provided they have appropriate political support as well as that of the affected people, i.e. they have a sense of ownership.
Development and Testing of a Low Cost Sensor PDGNSS Landslide Monitoring System using the Example of the Aggenalm Landslide in the Bavarian Alps Jessica Glabsch, Otto Heunecke, Stefan Schuhbäck Institute of Geodesy, University of the Federal Armed Forces of Germany in Munich,Werner-Heisenberg-Weg 39, D-85577 Neubiberg, Email: jessica.glabsch / otto.heunecke / stefan.schuhbaeck@unibw.de EIntroduction Exclusive geodetic and geotechnical instrumentation for landslide monitoring tasks is available today but for economical reasons it is not used on a broad scale. At the same time the number of localities with urgent need for surveillance is rising due to global climate change, increasing tourism in mountainous areas and the build-up of new infrastructure objects such as settlements, roads and railways. This lack of adequate surveillance in future can only be overcome using more cost-effective powerful surveillance techniques. Furthermore, monitoring systems should ensure the delivery of data and meaningful results to all involved stakeholders, using permanently open interfaces. In this sense such monitoring systems should be seen as an essential part of the spatial data infrastructure. 63
