Use Geotechnical to Build Disaster Management Systems to Mitigate the Effects of Wars

Shadi Kuhail

This study examines the role of GIS in emergency management through the lens of comprehensive emergency management and its four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The primary concern before a potential disaster is mitigating the impact of a hazard. Here GIS is gaining favour in risk assessment and the development of long-term mitigation strategies. In the preparedness and response phases, GIS may serve either as the integrating centrepiece for a comprehensive disaster preparedness and response system or as a portable, on-site source of spatial information. In the wake of a disaster, GIS is becoming integral in supporting damage assessment, rebuilding, and public education. The studying concludes with an example application of GIS in emergency planning: evacuation vulnerability mapping As happened in the Gaza war in 2014, where dozens of people lost their lives as a result of the random evacuation of the population and the absence of pre-preparation for disasters, especially wars.
