Abstract

Accurate damage assessment due to major natural and anthropogenic disasters is becoming critical due to increasing human and economic losses. This increase in loss of life and severe damages can be attributed to the growing population, and human migration and settlements in disaster prone regions of the world. Rapid damage assessment and dissemination of accurate information is critical for creating an effective emergency response. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) based techniques and tools are playing an important function in disaster damage assessment and reporting activities. In this review, we will look into the current state of art, in damage assessment using remote sensing and GIS based techniques.
