DISASTER MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION:The Disaster Management Act of 2005
defines Disaster Management as an integrated process
of planning, organizing, coordinating and implementing
measures which are necessary for-
Prevention of threat of any disaster
Reduction of risk of any disaster or its consequences
Readiness to deal with any disaster
Promptness in dealing with a disaster
Assessing the severity of the effects of any disaster
Rescue and relief
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE
ROLE OF DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA):- The
National Disaster Management Authority, or the NDMA, is an apex
body for disaster management, headed by the Prime Minister of India. .
National Executive Committee (NEC):- The NEC is composed of
high profile ministerial members from the government of india
State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA):- The Chief Minister
of the respective state is the head of the [Link] State Government
has a State Executive Committee (SEC) which assists the State
Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) on Disaster Management.
District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA):- The DDMA is
headed by the District Collector, Deputy Commissioner or District
Magistrate depending on the situation, with the elected representatives
of the local authority as the Co-Chairperson.
Local Authorities:- Local authorities would include Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRI), Municipalities, District .
APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING
AND GIS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Remote sensing technology has become an important tool in
environmental management. In disaster management, remote
sensing has various applications.
Tracking wind patterns
Detecting earthquake
Relief operations
Wildfires
Floods management
Drought prediction
Identification of hazards zones
Reconstruction of areas affected
Glacial lakes assessment
APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING
AND GIS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Disaster management study
Emergency mapping
Risk mapping and management
Data analysis
Resource allocation
Tracking wind patterns
The wind is one of the causes of disaster in
the environment. Hurricane disasters can be
sensed and be predicted by the use of remote
sensors. These sensors pass the early
warning to people living in the affected area,
and they can relocate to avoid damages.
FLASH FLOOD
Flash Flood is one type of flood and it is a
sudden flood that flushes water paths and is
caused by many reasons like Heavy Rain, and
melted water from snow/ice on a snowfield.
Flash Flood before & after images were shown in
Figures 1 & 2 using IGiS
(Integrated GIS and Image Processing) software.
EARTHQUAKE
It is one of the oldest enemies of humankind and now
it is possible to map and analyze earthquakes in a
detailed manner. GIS supports national, regional, and
local emergency organizations in planning and
managing preparatory programs. The GIS-based
Urban Information Systems is used to analyze
demographic data and infrastructure locations.
Remote sensing and GIS Technology provides the
exact position of the spatial data of historical sites.
The vision of remote sensing and GIS technology is
to visualize the critical vulnerabilities & damages and
reduce the impact of the disaster. The GIS Technology
results could be responded to quickly during the
disaster.
ACCIDENTAL DISASTER
Accidental disasters is occurred due to the
following reasons: Process and safety systems
failures, Human/Technical/Management errors, the
Induced effect of natural calamities, Hazardous
waste processing/ disposal, and Terrorist attacks/
unrest leading to sabotage. The accidental disaster
hotspot identification of the location is used by
GIS, GPS, and Telecommunication Technology. The
high user interface of mobile-based applications
has integrated the technology to provide effective
and economical safety to society.
BIOLOGICAL DISASTER
Biological Disasters – COVID-19 is a good example
to understand the importance of information
through maps. In the healthcare domain, the GIS
technology is supported against the global
pandemic disease COVID-19. The battle through
Mapping of available data like existing COVID
Positive cases, quarantine centers, hospital
infrastructure capacities, and identifying hotspots
using IGIS Based COVID-19 Response & Monitoring
Solution. The GIS Real-Time spatial mapping and
analysis skills will also act the main role in the
efficient distribution of vaccinations.
CONCLUSION
GIS technology helps identify disasters before they
occur, using forecasts or risk zone maps.
Remote sensing and GIS technology for Disaster
Management create an emergency database for people
in need of all assistance in the event of a disaster.
The emergency database contains information about
nearby hospitals, emergency shelters, and more.
Disaster risk or impact maps focus on taking
corrective action against disasters.
