2 National Disaster Reduction Center of China (NDRCC)
Basic Information:
National Disaster Reduction Center of China was established in April 2002 and officially put into operation
in May 2003. The Satellite Application Center for Disaster Reduction was added in February 2009 and
NDRCC was transferred to the Ministry of Emergency Management in April 2018. NDRCC mainly
undertakes the functions of natural disaster risk monitoring and early warning, risk assessment, satellite
emergency applications, data information management, research on natural disaster science, technology,
regulations and standards and international exchanges and cooperation, and assumes the role of the
National Comprehensive Risk Monitoring and Early Warning Center for Natural Disasters and Space
Technology Application Center for Disaster Reduction.

3.1 Introduction of Unmanned Arial System
An unmanned aircraft system (UAS), also called a drone, is an aircraft without a
human pilot onboard –instead, the UAS is controlled from an operator on the
ground.

8Lessons Learned and Future Prospects
Lessons Learned
Incomplete UAV network coverage
The construction of UAV remote sensing monitoring networks lacks the full support of local provinces and cities in terms of policies,
funds and manpower.
Lack UAV monitoring cooperation mechanism
Promote the construction of a cooperative mechanism for aviation remote sensing, build a low-altitude UAV emergency monitoring and
response system covering natural disaster high-risk areas, and gradually establish multi-channel funding.
Future Prospects
Rapid acquisition of disaster monitoring data
The time of disaster occurrence is difficult to predict, and the adverse weather conditions will have an enormous impact on the rescue
work and loss assessment.
Therefore it is necessary to continually establish a cooperative relationship with local units and social force UAV teams to carry out the
construction and operation of social force drone emergency cooperation mechanism.
Quick data processing & analysis capability
The UAV data processing and analysis require the high performance of the computer, while it is difficult for the mobile terminalon site to
meet this requirement.
Therefore the next step we need to apply various methods to transmit data, establish a high-performance data processing center to
promote the efficiency and effectiveness of data processing and analysis.
Up to now, we have already established the emergency UAV cloud in NDRCC, with 15 companies and 82 UAV teams included.
