The Global Geohazard System

Crisis Mapping

In 2008 we determined to create a full-function Crisis Mapping project. This was borne out of the persistent eruption of hostilities in Southern Philippines between both communist - Islamist groups on one side and the government on the other. Fresh from the experience at confronting an incorrigible troublemaker such as the Juma'a Abu Sayyap, or more popularly known as Abu Sayyaf, we resolved to push stakeholders to join in formulating the Philippine conflicts crisis map.

This is modeled after the U.S.-Euro academe's successful crime and peacekeeping mapping efforts that had led to wide acceptance and invited broad-based support from as many sectors and as many countries as possible.

After all, the value of life is such that people and institutions, states and combines will pay as high a price as possible for the safety of both individuals and enclaves of people.

Information for All Advocacy

A society that makes advanced use of geospatial information. An affluent, convenient society in which location information and geospatial information can be put to practical use anywhere, anytime, by anybody. - Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd.
 Among several other companies, the Resource Recovery Movement (RRM) finds the closest kind of affinity with Kokusai Kogyo corporation.

Of a number of organizations around the world, Kokusai Kogyo is one of those that have an enviable commitment to making geospatial data available for a larger spectrum of the human population.

This is the precisely advocacy of RRM and its corporate sponsors in the Cyberpark Group.

Ms. Sandra Wen-Hsiu Wu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kokusai (photo at left) and a member of the UNISDR, Private Sector Advisory Group or PSAG avers that:

...Kokusai Group is committed to doing everything it can of creating "green communities" in Japan and other countries around the world that face similar issues. (sic)
Both the private sector and the public sector are being encouraged through campaigns by organizations such as the Resource Recovery Movement to take just the same steps that Kokusai has treaded on from the past until today.

For a long time, Kokusai's presence will be felt all around the world for its unswerving dedication to make the planet a better place to live in.
