Abstract

The paper aims for the contemporary strategic development of the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) area defined by the U.N. DRR conference in Sendai, 2015, and other related conferences like the 2017 Global Platform in Cancun. There are also highlighted U. N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2015-2030. DRR Sendai framework is inextricably linked with the main U.N. SDGs document. Paper investigates synergies between indicators of SGDs and Global indicators of Sendai Framework. The importance of geographical aspects and new data initiatives U.N. GGIM and DBAR, the essential parts in the building of the Global Data Ecosystem, are described. The cartography potentials for SDGs and the importance of using volunteers and Volunteer Geographic Information (VGI) for DRR and Crisis Management are commented on, and the examples of using VGI data and open-access platforms for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and Missing maps project are described.
