Hazard mapping
Vulnerability assessment
Damage assessment
All of the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above
GIS and remote sensing can be used for hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment, and damage assessment.
- Hazard mapping is the process of identifying and mapping areas that are at risk from natural or man-made hazards. GIS can be used to create hazard maps by overlaying layers of data, such as land use, elevation, and geology. This information can be used to identify areas that are at risk from flooding, landslides, earthquakes, and other hazards.
- Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying and assessing the factors that make a community or population vulnerable to a hazard. GIS can be used to create vulnerability maps by overlaying layers of data, such as population density, infrastructure, and economic activity. This information can be used to identify areas that are most vulnerable to a hazard.
- Damage assessment is the process of estimating the extent of damage caused by a hazard. GIS can be used to create damage maps by overlaying layers of data, such as damage reports, aerial imagery, and satellite imagery. This information can be used to estimate the extent of damage caused by a hazard and to plan for recovery.
GIS and remote sensing are powerful tools that can be used to improve our understanding of hazards and to help us prepare for and respond to disasters.
