Capacity Building Session: Application of Drone Technology for Disaster Risk Reduction and Development Sector
A demonstration session on drone capabilities in development efforts and Disater Risk Management took place on January 22, 2024, in Colombo. RNH International (Pvt.) Ltd. and the National Building Research Organisation (NBRO) collaboratively organized this event. The Chairman of RNK International (Pvt.) Ltd. warmly welcomed everyone, starting the session that aimed to discuss about using drones for minimizing risks and promoting development. NBRO's Director General Eng. (Dr.) Asiri Karunawardana spoke about how NBRO has been leading in using drones for handling landslide risks. The State Minister of Defence, Honorable Minister Premitha Bandara Tennakoon, also spoke, highlighting the government's commitment to a digitalized nation and the essential role of drones in disaster management. Aereo India Limited experts demonstrated innovative drone products that could transform disaster responses and development efforts. Representatives from various institutions, including the Sri Lanka Army, Air Force, Navy, Police, Disaster Management Centre (DMC), Civil Aviation Authority, Survey Department, Urban Development Authority (UDA), Irrigation Department, and ICTA, actively participated. This collaborative effort encouraged sharing knowledge and ideas, paving the way for creative solutions and progress towards a safer and technologically advanced Sri Lanka.
World Vision Sri Lanka Donates Automated Rain Gauges to Strengthen the Landslide Early Warning Systems of NBRO
As part of the Anticipatory Action Project implemented in Nuwara Eliya district, World Vision Sri Lanka yesterday (9th January 2024) donated three (03) automated rain gauges to National Building Research Organisation. These rain gauges will be strategically placed at Dimbulla Police Station, Holmwood Tamil School, and St. Coombs Upper Division in Nuwara Eliya district, seamlessly integrating with NBRO's landslide early warning system. Acknowledging the positive impact of this collaborative initiative, the NBRO expresses gratitude to World Vision Sri Lanka and eagerly anticipates future partnerships to further strengthen their disaster resilience efforts.

National Building Research Organisation (NBRO), The SmartMind team from University of Moratuwa and Manchester University, UK are collaborating in order to develop a ChatBot
On December 29th, 2023, National Building Research Organisation (NBRO), SmartMind team from the Urban Simulation Lab at the Department of Town and Country Planning, University of Moratuwa and Manchester University, UK held a discussion on a research project focused on creating a ChatBot. This Chatbot focuses on addressing certain disaster scenarios, with a primary emphasis on managing the risks associated with landslides, disseminating evacuation protocols, providing detailed information about resilient building construction, and providing relevant risk-related information. The Chatbot's training includes an extensive range of data to assist in landslide scenarios.
