 In the period from 24 to 26 April, 2013 the workshop within SENSUM «Framework to integrate space-based and in-situ sensing for dynamic vulnerability and recovery monitoring» project, implemented under 7th Framework Program of the European Commission (FP7-COOPERATION-SPACE-2012), was held in the Central-Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences (CAIAG). The project was focused on approbation of innovative methods and software tools for dynamic disaster risk and vulnerability monitoring with various resolutions, as well as planning and monitoring of recovery measures in case of emergencies. Methods, applied in the present project, are based on current and prospective space-based technologies and original approaches to in-situ sensing, which will enable to identify location and assess disaster risk operatively.Partners of the present project will be 8 organizations from European and Central-Asian countries, as well as Central-Asian Institute for Applied Geosciences (CAIAG). The leading organization of the project is the German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam.

During the training course from 9-11 January 2013 under the project EMCA, participants selected among those who participate in the experiment in Dushanbe (March-November 2012) and in Khorog (July-October 2012) were introduced to the basic aspects of site effect assessment and have been trained in estimating the standard spectral ratio of earthquake recordings, the earthquake Horizontal-to-Vertical spectral ratio, and the noise Horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio. The software applied was developed by GFZ and INGV scientists.
For the site effect assessment in Dushanbe the procedure will be similar to what has already been applied for other sites in Central Asia where EMCA and GCO-CA activities focused on.
The results obtained for different cities in Central Asia will be integrated in seismic hazard assessment in the same way for all Central Asia countries.

On 19 November 2012 a deed of conveying seismological stations to the national partners under the project “CASCADE” – “Cross-border Disaster Prevention in Central Asia” was executed in Bishkek. The event took place in CAIAG with the participation of the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in Kyrgyzstan Ms. Gudrun Srega, the Co-Director of CAIAG Dr. B. Moldobekov, the Director of the Institute of Seismology NAS KR Dr. K. Abdrakhmatov, and representatives of GFZ and GIZ.
Seismic stations were purchased with financial funds of the Federal Republic of Germany represented by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and were transferred by the German Society for International Cooperation (previously InWent) to the ownership of the Institute of Seismology of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Central-Asian Institute of Applied Geosciences.
Participants in the event presented results of the scientific works on seismic microzonation, building vulnerability assessment, and cross-border seismic network creation.

 The Hydro-Meteorological monitoring network of the CAWa project now covers 3 Central Asian countries. The new station Maydanak which is the seventh station of the project and the first one in Uzbekistan has been installed in the beginning of November 2012. The station is located in the province Kashka-Dariya province south of Shakhrisabz city on the territory of the High-mountain Maydanak Observatory of the Ulugh Beg Astronomical Institute (UBAI), the Uzbek Academy of Sciences. . It measures different meteoparameters including air temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind rate and direction, parameters of solar radiation, soil temperature and moisture for different depths and the amount of liquid precipitation. It is supplied with a GNSS receiver. Data transfer is carried out through the satellite communication system VSAT, the energy supply is provided by solar panels and batteries. The works were executed by specialists of GFZ, UBAI and CAIAG.
