Leveraging Geospatial Technology in Disaster Management

Abstract

The increased frequency of disasters has become a peril to human habitation across the globe, and leveraging Geospatial technology for effective disaster risk reduction and management for all phases of disaster management is the way forward. Geospatial technologies have to be leveraged to facilitate disaster management by producing models for visualisation of the effect of the disaster, efficient methods to mitigate and effectively deploy teams to undertake rescue, reconstruction and rehabilitation. Karnataka State has been actively involved in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) through the inclusive cooperation of all stakeholders. The paper describes Leveraging Geospatial Technology Innovations in Disaster Management, the conceptual geospatial database design envisaged, and the decision support tools developed for emergency management. The State has developed Karnataka State Disaster Management Information System (KSDMIS), a Geospatial Web Application for Collecting Data on Disaster Events. KSDMIS is a state-of-the-art technological disaster management technology with real-time infrastructure to collect & store data, analyse, communicate and auto-generate event-based Reports or Memorandum. The State has also developed the “Geospatial Enabled District Disaster Management Plan (GEDDMP)” System. GEDDMP system is a technology-driven solution designed and developed to create a Geospatial foundation by structuring information and generating plans for disaster management.
