Subject: Highlights the use of space technology for disaster studies in India. The task is to harmonise the available information from various sources i.e. field work, aerial photographs, and satellite imagery with existing data sets as well as maps so that the resultant synthesis becomes compatible with the National Data Base Management Systems. The remote sensing and GIS application for disaster reduction strategies comprise disaster preparedness, hazard zone mapping, forecasting systems, risk assessment, and warning systems
