ABSTRACT

Title of the Project: Relevance of Social Service in the face of Natural Disasters.

A disaster is a sudden calamitous event which results in serious disturbance to the


functioning of a society or community. It also causes human, material, economic and
environmental losses. Such losses usually exceed ability of the community or society to cope
using its own resources. Natural disaster can be of any kind: Earthquakes, floods, volcanic
eruptions, Tsunami, Avalanches & Landslides, and Sinkholes etc.

There are many kinds of disasters – both natural, and mankind-induced: floods,
hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, chemical spills, airline crashes and terroristic attacks. They
happen all over the world, and often in areas where service infrastructure is minimal, with
disaster response resources needing to be imported. Their magnitude requires the coordination of
public and private sector service providers in ways which require that planning and procedures
be developed in preparation for the eventual, as well as the real. Services are usually delivered by
a combination of professionals, volunteers, and those who are directly impacted by the disaster
who marshal their social sensibilities to aid their neighbors while helping themselves.

The economic losses resulting from natural disasters have shown an increase of scale as
society undergoes globalization. There is no doubt that natural disasters need to minimize any
possible risks. This makes it necessary to collect appropriate data through the monitoring
process. In conformity with selected method and methodology, one must determine what kind of
information is required for vital success in managing natural disasters and their consequences.
Satellite data accessed by Remote Sensing is an excellent tool for natural disaster management
purposes. Up to date technology achievements in space science and technology are making it
possible to use a large number of multi-temporal spatial data for prevent, preparedness, and
forecasting of natural disasters after appropriate data processing stages. During the last decades,
the Remote Sensing method has become the best operational instrument for disaster preparedness
and warning phrases, including the disaster of floods. Using data from the Remote Sensing
method is not possible without a proper tool to handle the large amount of data and combine it
with data from different sources, such as maps, measurement stations, or field data.
