The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have launched a technical collaboration aimed at strengthening the government's Geospatial Analytics & Technology Solutions (GATES) program, a flagship initiative designed to integrate geospatial, climate, and hazard data into a unified platform for disaster risk reduction and evidence-based policymaking.
Mobile operator Smart Communications recently showed off its disaster preparedness programs and technologies at the GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter event held last Jan. 24 in Clark, Pampanga.
