Book Synopsis Remote Sensing and GIS Technologies for Monitoring and Prediction of Disasters by : Shailesh Nayak
Download or read book Remote Sensing and GIS Technologies for Monitoring and Prediction of Disasters written by Shailesh Nayak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons learned in the last several years have given clear indications that the prediction and efficient monitoring of disasters is one of the critical factors in decision-making process. In this respect space-based technologies have the great potential of supplying information in near real time. Earth observation satellites have already demonstrated their flexibility in providing data to a wide range of applications: weather forecasting, person and vehicle tracking, alerting to disaster, forest fire and flood monitoring, oil spills, spread of desertification, monitoring of crop and forestry damages. This book focuses on a wider utilisation of remote sensing in disaster management. The discussed aspects comprise data access/delivery to the users, information extraction and analysis, management of data and its integration with other data sources (airborne and terrestrial imagery, GIS data, etc.), data standardization, organisational and legal aspects of sharing remote sensing information.

Download or read book Handbook of Disaster Research written by Havidán Rodríguez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely Handbook is based on the principle that disasters are social constructions and focuses on social science disaster research. It provides an interdisciplinary approach to disasters with theoretical, methodological, and practical applications. Attention is given to conceptual issues dealing with the concept "disaster" and to methodological issues relating to research on disasters. These include Geographic Information Systems as a useful research tool and its implications for future research. This seminal work is the first interdisciplinary collection of disaster research as it stands now while outlining how the field will continue to grow.

Book Synopsis Geospatial Techniques in Urban Hazard and Disaster Analysis by : Pamela S. Showalter
Download or read book Geospatial Techniques in Urban Hazard and Disaster Analysis written by Pamela S. Showalter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second in a series that examines how geographic information te- nologies (GIT) are being implemented to improve our understanding of a variety of hazard and disaster situations. The main types of technologies covered under the umbrella of GIT, as used in this volume, are geographic information systems, remote sensing (not including ground-penetrating or underwater systems), and global po- tioning systems. Our focus is on urban areas, broadly de ned in order to encompass rapidly growing and densely populated areas that may not be considered “urban” in the conventional sense. The material presented here is also unabashedly applied – our goal is to provide GIT tools to those seeking more ef cient ways to respond to, recover from, mitigate, prevent, and/or model hazard and disaster events in urban settings. Therefore, this book was created not only with our colleagues in the academic world in mind, but also for hazards professionals and practitioners. We also believe graduate students will nd the material presented here of interest, as may upper division undergraduate students.

Book Synopsis Space Technology and GIS for Disaster Monitoring and Mitigation by : T.S. Chouhan
Download or read book Space Technology and GIS for Disaster Monitoring and Mitigation written by T.S. Chouhan and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space technologies can play important roles in the reduction of disasters. The use of such technologies can be particularly useful in the risk assessment, mitigation and preparedness phases of disaster management. Space technologies are also vital to the early warning and management of the effects of the disaster. It plays a great role in disaster management in such areas as flooding, cyclones, drought, desertification, earthquake and tsunami. Space technology is largely adopted due to its cost effectiveness, short temporal orbiting and large area of coverage. Space technologies have been used in disaster management especially during the preparedness/warning and response/monitoring stages. One of the main advantages of the use of the powerful combination techniques of a GIS, is the evaluation of several hazard and risk scenarios that can be used in the decision - making about the future development of an area, and the optimum way to protect it from natural disasters.

This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 851 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural disasters are the killer agents which can/can't be predicted even though we have modern technology. Every year, in one place or another, disasters striking which is devastating the area and surroundings, leading to ecological disruption besides huge loss of life and property. India is vulnerable to cyclones, landslides/avalanches, earthquakes, floods, droughts, forest fires, epidemics, etc. The 5700-km long coast of India, with its dense population is vulnerable to cyclones/low depressions, tsunamis, etc. The 2400-km long rugged Himalayan terrain is vulnerable to landslides, avalanches and earthquakes. India is not only vulnerable to natural disasters, it is also experiencing industrial accidents. The Bhopal Gas tragedy is one of the major man-made disasters in the world. The state of Andhra Pradesh has 970-km long coastline with two major rivers, etc. The conference is conducted in Visakhapatnam, is famous for industries and tourism. Recently, several industrial accidents took place, besides major natural disasters like Hud-Hud, etc. Disaster management shall be implemented from the grass root level in vulnerable areas to improve the capacity building, so as to minimize the losses. The capacity building coupled with technology results in reduction of loss of life and property.
