Abstract

Natural disasters – floods, drought, hurricanes, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcano eruptions – increasingly cause casualties and damages to infrastructure and property. In addition to huge suffering, the economies of many countries, especially the developing ones, where 95% of all fatal casualties from natural disaster occur, get severely affected as a disaster strikes the region. The role of geo-information technology to support risk and disaster management has been convincingly demonstrated and there is no doubt about its importance (Zlatanova and Fabbri, 2009). The number of geo-information technologies that can support risk and disaster is steadily growing, particularly in developing countries. For example, the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center, Bangkok, Thailand, operational for over 20 years, established a regional network – involving 26 countries – of stations for capturing data for signalising multiple types of hazards.
