12. HOW ISRO HELPS IN DISASTER
MANAGEMENT
 India is one of the most flood-prone countries in
the world. Floods occur in almost on all rivers in the
country resulting in many damages.
 To assess the damage is very critical in the case so
that decision-makers can plan relief operations. For
the purpose, satellite-based imageries due to their
synoptic coverage are the best tool.
 Indian Space and Research Organization is working
in the direction by providing its different satellite
programs that collect the required data for the
delineation of flooded areas.
 ISRO uses both optical and microwave satellites
data .
