• Early warning systems: Technology can be leveraged to develop early warning systems that can quickly detect any potential disaster and alert people living in the affected areas. Such systems can help in reducing the impact of disasters and save lives.
• GIS mapping: GIS maps can be used to create a digital map of the affected area based on various parameters such as population density, infrastructure, topography and so on. This information can then be used to plan disaster management efforts accordingly.
• Communication technology: Communication technology can be used to disseminate information to people in real-time during a disaster. This can include SMS alerts, geo-targeted push notifications, social media updates, and emergency radio broadcasts. This can help in managing evacuations, rescue efforts, and relief measures more effectively.
• Drones: Drones can be used to monitor disaster-affected areas, assess damage, and take images and videos for situational awareness. This can help disaster management agencies in making better decisions and allocating resources more efficiently.
• Big data and analytics: Big data analytics can be used to predict potential disaster scenarios, identify problem areas, and allocate resources effectively. This can help in disaster planning and management efforts, leading to better outcomes and reduced damage.
