TECHNOLOGIES FOR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND MITIGATION

Natural disasters and calamities throw up major challenges for national governments in many countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

Advanced disaster management technology could provide a critical support system for disaster management authorities at times of disaster-related crises. Such a technology also provides important inputs for any disaster management plan of action in modern times.
