This paper discusses the use of spatial data for risk and natural disaster management. The importance of remote-sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data is stressed by comparing studies of the use of these technologies for natural disaster management. Spatial data sharing is discussed in the context of the establishment of Spatial Data...
The term "natural disaster" is used to refer to catastrophes that arise from acts of nature such as flood, wind, drought and earthquake. However, many people have challenged this terminology as misleading. As long ago as 1976,1 Frederick Krimgold defined a disaster as an event that outstrips the capacity of a society to cope with it. This definition highlights the fact that not every natural cr...
OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined the influence of pre-disaster perceived social support on post-disaster psychological distress among survivors of Hurricane Katrina. METHOD Participants (N = 386) were low-income mothers between 18 and 34 years of age at baseline (M = 26.4, SD = 4.43). The majority (84.8%) was African American; 10.4% identified as Caucasian, 3.2% identified as Hispanic, an...
There has been an increase in the occurrence of natural disasters and their impact has aroused the interest of many stakeholders to incorporate different strategies on disaster management. Although, disaster ceased many opportunities and lives, the lives of survivors do not cease in the disaster affected areas. This bespeaks the need to develop communities to cope up with challenges during post...
Natural disasters are those anomalies created by the nature in the process of the Earth. The harms they have caused to human society tend to be horrifying. Almost every country will be more or less affected by natural disasters annually. In consequence, giving a fairly accurate forecast of the disaster that may happen turns into a vital part of disaster prevention. Traditional research on disas...
Objectives. This research investigates the spatial redistribution of socially vulnerable subpopulations during long-term recovery from natural disaster. We hypothesize that the local environmental impact of a disaster influences this redistribution process and that how it does so varies by the urban or rural context in which the disaster occurs.Methods. To test these hypotheses, we use a novel ...
Recent events such as hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, power outages, and the threat of pandemics have highlighted our vulnerability to natural disasters. This vulnerability is exacerbated by many organizations’ increasing dependence on computer, telecommunications, and other technologies, and trends toward integrating suppliers and business partners into everyday business operations. In resp...
