Introduction

The Earth where we live is mysterious substance

Human activities like deforestation, rapid urbanisation etc. increasing the imbalances in the eco-system

The result is frequent occurrence of Disasters

History left enormous witnesses of such unfatefull incidents affected the humanity in terms of lives and property

Disasters- An over view

Disaster are unpredictable extreme spatial events in the natural or man-made environment

Of course disasters might not be foreseen but can be dealt such a way that, the impact can be reduced to great extent by :

Implementing the strategic planning with the aid of large volume data resources

Made easy analysis tools developed by the advancement in the software technology

Disaster management

04/21/23 01:28 5

Disaster management

Any typical disaster management activity will have broadly six phases in its cycle:

prediction

mitigation

emergency management & Rescue

prevention

disaster recovery and rehabilitation

preparedness


04/21/23 01:28 6

Challenges in Rural Areas

Accessibility will be poor

Unawareness due to low Literacy

Large scope for miscommunication due to Local Language

Higher Resistance for Mobilization


Information Sources are very less

Why GIS??

Spatial and non-spatial database handling capabilities

Provides real time visualisation of the area of interest.

Network and neighborhood analysis capabilities

Terrain analysis capabilities if required.


Real Time modeling using Dynamic Data sources – Like GPS

An Integrated GIS &GPS ApproachSpatial Technology can play a vital role in all Phases of Disaster Management


Tool for better Prediction using lot of Real time Models

Mentoring mechanism for implementation of Disaster Management Strategies

Better tool for Decision Making suitable for Changing Scenarios

Cross check tool for implementation of rehabilitation activities

Effective tool to quickly asses the damages

An Integrated GIS &GPS ApproachProvides Data (both Spatial & Non-Spatial) on one platform leading for better and quicker decision Making


04/21/23 01:28 10

Connectivity Information between the source & Destination of the Resources on Dynamic mode.

An Integrated GIS &GPS Approach contd.…

All the resources can be Tracked/monitored and reallocated from a centralized system using GPS & Mobile mapping

Latest Technologies like LiDAR will help in quick collection of Data


04/21/23 01:28 11

Requirements of Rescue Management System:

Locating the site accurately with in the least permissible time

Reduce the critical time element involved in the activities

Accurate data about the resources available at place of interest

Accessibility information between the source and destination

Correct means of alarming the resources

Real time visualisation of the area of interest


04/21/23 01:28 12

The core of the proposed system architecture built up with two different database:

1. Spatial Data contains

road net work with inter connectivity details

state capitals and District head quarters

major and minor towns

revenue and administrative boundaries

water bodies

Terrain data

Location of Critical Resources


04/21/23 01:28 13

2. Non-Spatial Data contains

Details of each spatial element

Finer details of the Resources available at each major location includes

Nature of the resource

Quantity available

Contact information to alarming the resource

Response time


04/21/23 01:28 14

The major resources required for rescue includes

Medical facilities

Fire facilities

Police authorities

Revenue and Administrative authorities Trained rescue teams like Special Police, BSF, CISF etc.

Voluntary organisations


04/21/23 01:28 15

Non-Spatial database is updated with user friendly GUI based interface to ensure frequent updating.


04/21/23 01:28 16

The advantages of proposed GIS approach

Locating the site of accident becomes very simpler and accurate

The accessibility can be analysed more realistically


04/21/23 01:28 17

The advantages of proposed GIS approach contd.…

Finding out the required resources becomes simple, speedy and accurate

Finding out optimum routes between different resource locations to accident site

Helpful in topographic and demographic analysis to improve the effectiveness in planning and implementation activities

Provides buffer analysis to facilitate effective dynamic planning

Very easy means to add and update the records of the database

Improved operational efficiency as spatial and Non-spatial data on individual database.


04/21/23 01:28 18

Conclusions:

The integrated GIS & GPS technology can be used for effective management of Disaster preparedness

Large scope of improvement in efficiency of the rescue planning and implementation activities by effective utilisation of the advantages provided by the GIS spatial database .
