Description
This session will highlight the essential role of spatial hazard, exposure and vulnerability data and modeling tools/techniques in understanding risk and making informed decisions to build resilience. The forum will consist of presentations and discussions showcasing applications of geospatial science and technologies to hazards and disaster risk assessment, and emerging risk assessment tools and methodologies. Topics covered will include: hazard and vulnerability analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing, uncertainty analysis related to land use change and climate change, and risk education and community engagement using GIS. The session aims to promote the cross-fertilization of ideas and promotion of nontraditional partnerships, targeting grassroots organizations, the public and private sectors, NGOs, academics, and space agencies.
