1 Organized by: INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Symposium on Disaster Management & Risk Analytics under Big Data Paradigm (Phase II) March 22-23, 2017 SQC & OR Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata BACKGROUND Disaster Management is an important global issue to be referred with critical interdisciplinary components. This is particularly the case of large-scale disasters that affect many countries and multi-hazards. We recognize the importance of cultural, social and linguistic differences among countries in emergency response and recovery, which will have impact on the volume and varieties of data used, their assurance of quality, reliability towards significant means of disaster management. To accomplish the potential benefits of applying big data to disaster management, there is an urgent need to bring together the overlapping domains and people from various national level organizations of the country. ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM Indian Statistical Institute has taken up a project "Development of Risk Analytics towards Multidisciplinary Big-Data Study of Humanitarian Logistics for Disaster Response" since 2015 in collaboration with IMD, IW&D, ATI, ISRO under which the first symposium titled "Disaster Management and Risk Analytics under Big Data Paradigm" was held in 20th Feb,'16. This symposium highlighted the issues like Data needs for DRR Planning and Mainstreaming Challenges, Status and Opportunities, Urban Disaster Management A Holistic Approach, Decision Support Tools, Challenges and Opportunities for Big Data Collection in new Global Framework for Disaster Risk Management, Disaster Supply Chain Management and Safety Analytics. Some of the studies were already undertaken like a) A statistical model for rainfall forecasting, flood prediction and risk assessment; b) A mathematical model of cost optimization towards shelter allocation and relief distribution; and c) An interactive DSS for flood risk assessment and recovery planning. However, lot of challenges has been speculated under real-life Big Data scenario. Subsequently, the spirit continues to hold the second phase of the symposium in 2017.

4 About Indian Statistical Institute: Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) is a premier institute involved in carrying out research, teaching, training and consultancy in Statistics, Mathematics, Social Sciences, Computer and Communication, Biological Sciences, Physics and Earth Sciences and Statistical Quality Control & Operations Research. The institute has been declared by the Government of India as an institution of national importance by an act of the parliament in This act was amended by the Parliament in 1995 to empower the Institute to award Degrees/Diplomas not only in Statistics, but also in Mathematics, Quantitative Economics, Computer Science and Quality, Reliability and Operations Research. The institute has considerable experience in carrying out applied / empirical research as well as development of mathematical / statistical models for different technical / business systems. "Unity in Diversity" is the motto of the Institute. The diversity within the Institute is evident through plethora of scientific endeavors. The unity has been the unity of purpose - furthering of the discipline of statistics. It may be worthwhile to mention here that Professor P.C. Mahalanobis, the founder of Indian Statistical Institute, rightly deserves the credit not only for the birth of Statistics in India but also for its overwhelming development over the years. For more details, please visit About SQC & OR Division, ISI: The Institute also pioneered the development of Statistical Quality Control (SQC) in India. As early as in 1935, the Institute had recommended that the Government should take appropriate measures to initiate SQC methods in Indian industries. Walter A. Shewhart (the originator of SQC) came to India at the invitation of the Institute in , toured the country, held conferences and stimulated interest among Indian industrialists. The follow-up work done by the Institute led to the recognition of SQC as a useful technique in the industry and resulted in the formation of a network of SQC Units in India. The SQC & OR Division, set up in 1953, now operates with 8 units. The basic objective of the Division is to propagate the use of SQC & OR and allied management techniques for improving quality, enhancing productivity, reducing manufacturing cost and losses in industries. During the last four decades of its existence, this is realized through academic programmes, consultancy services, in-plant and general training course for industrial personnel, systems and software development, organizing conference, seminars and research in the methods and procedures of quality control, operations research and allied techniques. The Division runs a full-time PhD programme and its Kolkata Unit runs a two-year M.Tech programme in Quality, Reliability and Operations Research along with a two years MS programme in Quality Management System in ISI, Bangalore & ISI, Hyderabad jointly.
