This book addresses the various issues related to the (geospatial) data. It will list the data requirements of the hazard and risk assessment methodologies discussed in part 1 at different scales, and the data required for decision making (e.g. cost-benefit analysis, multi criteria evaluation).

Another component of this management book relates to design of the data flow, including data management, metadata standards, updating policies, data sharing, quality assurance and output generation. It will also provide a library of free and open-source internet resources, (geo-spatial) data warehouses, archives of historical landslide and flood events and relevant hydro-meteorological information.

This will be a technical manual, describing the data structure, and metadata and the system architecture. Incorporates data developed under objective 4 on national scale hazards. Incorporates data developed under objective 6 on local scale hazards, elements at risk, and use cases.
