The MOBILISE 3.0, built on a micro-service architecture, offers a set of cloud-based digital services for local and national government agencies to collaborate in building local community resilience. At the heart of the MOBILISE 3.0 is a cloud-based risk information space, referred to as MOBILISE: Data Engine. It allows local councils or local disaster management committees to capture and maintain their local intelligence on exposure, vulnerability and potential hazards. In addition, the MOBILISE: Data Engine offers important data management functionality such as data cleansing, styling of data layers to enhance visual appearance, attaching of metadata such as origin of the data layers, year of data collection, star rating based on its quality, security level etc. The risk information within the MOBILISE: Data Engine is used by a range of other digital services available within the MOBILISE platform to perform activities such as evidence-based decision making, multi-agency collaboration, community engagement, real-time environmental data monitoring, early warning system and scenario planning through an easy to use visual interface. Thanks to the innovative and scalable nature of the micro-service architecture, all the digital services are offered to the users using the “Software as a Service” (SaaS) model.
We are on a mission to revolutionize how critical climate and disaster risk data is shared and utilized. Our initiative, funded by the Global Green
Growth Institute (GGGI), focuses on two essential components: an Early Warning Dissemination System and a comprehensive Data Platform for Matara District.
Envision a seamless transmission of crucial alerts reaching the public effectively. The Early Warning Dissemination System acts as a vital bridge between government agencies and the public, simplifying the process. Governance gains the ability to choose precise warning levels and target specific public groups, ultimately strengthening preparedness and ensuring timely, pertinent warnings reach the individuals in need.
Through collaboration with key stakeholders, the challenges within the current data landscape have become apparent. Essential climate and risk data are dispersed among multiple agencies, impeding comprehensive analysis and informed decision-making. The Data Platform we've developed addresses this fragmentation by centralizing critical intelligence. It equips local decision-makers and the community with the necessary tools to fortify resilience against the impacts of climate change. By fostering a collaborative environment, we facilitate data-driven decision-making and encourage active participation, ultimately enhancing local resilience.
Nestled along the southern coast of Sri Lanka, the Matara district stands as a critical focal point for our resilience initiatives. Encompassing an extensive land area of 1282.5 Km2 and home to a substantial population of 873000. With a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty, Matara is not only a captivating location but also a region susceptible to a myriad of disasters throughout the year, as evidenced by historical data.
