GeoSpatial Knowledge Hive

Often we encounter natural or man-made disasters. Mitigating disaster and minimizing losses once it has occurred is very essential. GIS can play a very good role in getting prepared for coming natural disaster or minimizing losses of newly occurred disaster. GIS can be used to predict certain disasters, maps and geo-spatial data can be analyzed to predict earthquake hurricanes or other natural disaster.

Landslide vulnerability can be studied using relief maps and 3D analysis . DEM, DTM, or DSM can be used to mark sites with more vulnerability. Flood forecasting can be made using GIS image source:  www.directionsmag.com Geo Portals (Cloud GIS) can be used for single controlled multi sites operations. Avalanche or Glacier outbursts can be copped ...
