Due to the particular geographical location and geological conditions, Taiwan suffers from many natural hazards, such as typhoons, flooding, landslides, land debris, and earthquakes. which often cause series property damages and even life losses. The sufferings and risks can be minimized by developing suitable strategies for disaster management.

2. Introduction of case study
 About Taiwan
 Due to the particular geographical location and geological conditions, Taiwan
suffers from many natural hazards, such as typhoons, flooding, landslides, land
debris, and earthquakes.
 which often cause series property damages and even life losses.
 The sufferings and risks can be minimized by developing suitable strategies for
disaster management.

3. Disaster management.
 Disaster management can be defined as the discipline and profession of applying
science, technology, planning and management to deal with extreme events. The
emphasis of disaster management is prevention and loss reduction.
 The general process of disaster management involves
 Real-time disaster information collections
 Compilations
 Analyses
 Interpretations
 Predictions
 Illustrations
 Decision Support

4. Various Technologies used for disaster management
 Information technology in the form of internet, Geographic Information
System (GIS), remote sensing and satellite communication can help a great
deal in planning and implementation of disaster management .
 GIS has emerged as a powerful tool for effective disaster management
through mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery phases.

5. Issues in Disaster management in Taiwan
 Problem in current framework of Disaster management in Taiwan.

6.  Extreme geographical location & geological condition.
 Current GIS commercial products are unable to facilitate real time
monitoring information.
 Restriction in urging the next generation of decision support system(DSS)
with GIS.
 Difficulties in sharing relevant information.
 Lack of promotion & strategies to overcome the difficulties of disaster
management in Taiwan.

7. Solutions for the Issues
 Establishing a common platform for data exchange.

8.  NGIS helps to integrate various system
 GIS helps to forecast heavy rainfall causing floods & debris
 Estimation of the potential hazards and landslides
 Making strategies of developing disaster management information system

9. Conclusion
 Information system is a very important component for disaster reduction and
emergency management. Many governmental & non-governmental (NGO)
Organizations such as fire, weather, water and soil agencies are working in
Taiwan at different level to resolve the problem related to the disaster
management. There are some implementation are required in GIS although
with the help of this system they passing the phases like mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery etc.
