5. Professional skills
We have professional skill on:
Geographic Information System(GIS),
Application of GIS in Disaster Management,
Global Positioning System, Application and
characteristics of GPS, GPS in Disaster
management, Application and Characteristics of
Remote Sensing.

6. Expert knowledge:
• Basic Concept of Geographic Information
System , Analysis with GIS, Major GIS
Software.
• Characteristics of GPS , Segments of GPS, GPS
works.
• Remote sensing process, Satellite
Characteristics, Electromagnetic Radiation &
Spectrum, Resolution.

7. Introduction to Geographic
Information system
GEO:- Earth.
Geography:- Study of earth and
where things are.
Information:- For capturing, managing,
analyzing and understanding information.
System:- A set of Software , hardware and Data.

8. Application of GIS in Disaster
Management.
• Identification of cyclone shelters location.
• Use in Automated Weather Stations (AWS)
• Preparation of the district vulnerability maps.
• Strengthening of embankment,
• Repair of roads
• Identification of weak points in the
embankments.
• Preparing the base map indicating location.

9. Application of GIS in Disaster
Management(contd.).

10. Global Positioning System
• GPS is a type of Global Navigation Satellite
Systems.
• A very precise positioning system.
• Developed and maintained by the US
Department of Defense(DOD).
• Satellite Based
24 satellite
20,200 km high orbit.

11. Application of GPS
• Location
• Navigation
• Tracking
• Mapping
• Timing
Fig: Some GPS applications

12. Applications of GPS in Disaster
Management.
• GPS APPLICATION IN DISASTER EVENT.
• Landslide Study Using GPS Technologies
• GPS Application in Landslide Monitoring
• Application of GPS in Earth Quake
• GPS Application in Forest fire management
• Application of GPS in Flood Management

13. Applications of GPS in Disaster
Management(contd.).

14. Characteristics of GPS
• Free
• Precise
• Reliable
• Anytime & anywhere.
• All weather
• Unlimited user capacity.

15. Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is the small or large scale
acquisition of information of an object or
phenomenon, by the use of either recording or
real-time sensing device(s) that are wireless, or
not in physical or intimate contact with the
object.

16. CLASSIFICATION OF REMOTE SENSING
It can be classified by two way;
 Passive System
 Active System
Fig: Passive & Active System

17. Remote Sensing Process
Fig: Process of Remote Sensing.

18. Application of Remote sensing in
Disaster Management
• Earthquake
• Landslide
• Tsunami
• Volcanic Eruption
• Flood mapping
• The Snow Factor

19. Conclusion
• Knowledge of GIS & RS in managing disaster
management is very much efficient. This
course is very much oriented to manage earth
topography related disaster. Our professional
skill & expert knowledge will be help us to
being a good disaster manager.

20. Recommendation
• We gain huge amount of knowledge of GIS,
GPS and Remote Sensing application in
Disaster Management.
• And over all without some lacks such as
proper lab facilities, instruments of GIS, GPS
everything is sufficient and satisfied.
