1. Digital library
Digital libraryDigital libraryPermalink: https:// /digital-library/Digital library, also known
as a digital repository, focuses on collecting digital objects such as visual materials, visual
videos, and text and audio material stored in the form of electronic media formats. The
library provides means of keeping, organizing and retrieving information contained in the
media collection. Digital library has many uses such as it can be used by people to access
information at any time and any place. The library can also be used to access primary
information sources and multimedia content together with the text. Other uses of digital
library include accessibility of network on intranet and internet, provision of user-friendly
interface and hypertext links for navigation. Moreover, the library is useful when carrying
out advanced search and in retrieval of information. In aIDition, it is easier to link with
other digital libraries which can act as a server for clients doing architectural work (Papy,
2010).The Geological Hazard Mapping website actively identifies, assess, and maps hazards
caused by geological features by use of geophysics and geotechnical instruments. The
hazard map is very crucial during emergency-planning management, response to disasters
and in designing code amendment for land use. There is the observation that when
population continuous to grow, pressure builds on hazardous areas and geologist use the
information to educate the people under the Growth Management Act, about the dangers of
settling in these regions. The website can detect earth movements such as earthquakes,
volcanoes, landslides and tsunamis (Castleton, Elliott & McDonald, 2011).In response to
geological hazards, new technologies continue to emerge such as Advanced National
Seismic Systems for detecting earthquakes in timely data and measuring their extent of
damage on buildings and structures. In aIDition, there is innovation of remote sensing
technology for monitoring, assessing and analyzing the geological hazards (Castleton, Elliott
& McDonald, 2011).
