Landslide |

Landslides are
considered as one of the major kind of natural
disaster in the hilly regions of the world. The
management problem in the hilly region is almost
parallelized due to the rugged topography.
Therefore it becomes necessary that in a hilly
region to have a skilled Disaster Management GIS
which can quickly display the information so
that we can take decisions accordingly at the
time of crisis situation. |

BENEFITS OF GIS |

AAPDAMITRA
is a GIS (Geographic Information System) tool for Disaster
Management
It is such a unique tool that provide a
geo-referenced information of disaster prone zone (natural or
unnatural) in 2D or 3D to the disaster managers and therefore
can help them in managing the disasters more efficiently and
effectively and therefore capable of saving number of human
lives. This tool is also able in reducing the loss of property
and environment. With a GIS tool we can pinpoint the exact
location of the disasters before their occurrence and therefore
steps can be taken at right time to take the prevention and a
proper planning can be done in reducing their effects. With a
GIS tool, analysis can be done for mitigation, response, relief
and recovery needs and analyses can also be done for possible
consequences of any disaster.

Today the whole world is under the
threat of disasters whether it is natural or unnatural and today we
are at such a situation that we can predict or forecast some of the
pre or post disastrous activity using a proper disaster management
system. We have the sources available for before and after the
crisis situation but despite of this the results we get are not at
its optimum level. Working along with a proper management system,
every one expect the minimize effect of any disastrous activity but
we see the results are opposite. The answer for this reason is
simple that there are some loopholes in our management system
because we don't get the required information of a large coverage
area at the right time and we are still using the old conventional
methods rather than the new technology. For this one should have
accurate data at the right time to respond and to take the
appropriate actions.

With the advancement of computer and space technology, GIS is
now such a advanced knowledge tool in the hands of user and decision
makers that is helping them in almost every fields by just a click
of a mouse. GIS software display logically the accurate database and
therefore the disaster managers can respond at the right time. This
is the reason why GIS is now going to play a vital role in the
management of the disasters. With the Disaster Management GIS
system, now we will be able to properly manage the before disaster
situation, during disaster situation and after disaster situation at
any time. The main advantage of Disaster Management GIS over other
system is that we get the information very quickly and we can
display our information and decision at right time so we are capable
to reduce the ill-effects of the disasters to a very large extent.
