Geospatial Information and Services for Climate Resilient Disaster Management explores how cutting-edge technology can shape our response to climate-related disasters. Leading experts uncover the indispensable role that geospatial information and services can play in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. The book opens with an overview of climate resilient disaster management and the application of geospatial technology. The chapters next undertake a thorough examination of early warning systems, risk assessment, vulnerability mapping, resource allocation, and disaster response. Following from those vital tools and applications, the editors then evaluate climate adaptation planning and community engagement in the light of geospatial technology.
The book wraps up with real-world case studies and success stories along with a discussion of current challenges and future trends. Readers concerned with the rising connections between natural disaster and climate change will be inspired by this inside view of the latest innovations in geospatial information and services.
