A) to provide the background information on the role of remote sensing technology in natural disaster management; B) to analyse in detail the impact of changing land use in the Upper Thames River watershed on the flood risk Readers with interest in the first topic should focus on sections 1 to 5 Readers with
Many disasters may affect large areas and no other tool than remote sensing would provide a matching spatial coverage Remote sensing also allows us to monitor the event during the time of occurrence while the forces are in full swing The impact and departure of the disaster event leaves behind an area of immense devastation
Abstract: This paper highlights the use of remote sensing technologies in disaster management Impact of natural disasters on life, property and ability to predict them would be one of the main contributions of remote sensing technology Involving remote sensing with GIS and web technology makes it an extremely powerful tool to identify
This paper focuses on the integration of remote sensing technologies in all aspects of disaster management, i e , disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery In order to demonstrate their efficacy in these four ar-eas, cases histories and examples from recent disasters, including the Marmara, Turkey earthquake, the Bam,
1 REMOTE SENSING APPLICATIONS The AL-Ghab Graben is reflected in the intensity of neo-tectonics affecting it Neo-tectonics is active, such as active faults TM optical and radar data are used to image, for example, fault scarps and actively growing folds Visible and infrared imagery with moderate resolution is
Under remote sensing techniques, maps can be prepared using satellite data or aerial photographs and then digitised and stored on computers using GIS software Disaster maps generally show risk zones as well as disaster impact zones These are marked areas that would be affected increasingly with the increase in the magnitude of the disaster
