DISASTER ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT

Geographic information system and remote sensing are the extremely valuable and powerful instruments in debacle administration. Different debacles like avalanches, surges, seismic tremors, fires, torrents, volcanic ejections and violent winds are common dangers that murder bunches of the individuals and pulverize property and the frameworks consistently. Avalanches are the most consistent geographical vulnerabilities in mountain locales, especially in the Sikkim Himalaya. Remotely detected information can be utilised productively to evaluate seriousness and effect of the harm because of these calamities. In the debacle alleviation stage, GIS, assembled with the global positioning system (GPS) is to a great degree valuable in inquiry and the protect operations in the ranges that have been crushed and where it is hard to discover one's direction. Catastrophe mapping is drawing of territories that have been through the inordinate characteristic or man-made inconveniences to typical environment where there is lost life, property and the national frameworks.
