Geospatial hazard management system, a GIS and geospatial DB based natural hazard mitigation system

On our earth lots of events occurs everyday continually. If the effect of these events is negative on human life called natural hazards. If these hazards severely destroy human lives and properties called natural disasters. Earthquake, landslides, floods and tornadoes are the example of mostly occurring natural disasters all over the world. We can not eliminate these hazards but we can minimize the risk of these hazards, the minimization of risk is called hazard mitigation. For prevention and mitigation of these hazards a geospatial based system can be realized. The main aim of this paper is to present a geospatial based hazard management system that can predict, asses and mange the hazards in order to help minimizing destruction. In this study we used spatial data related to the natural hazards occurred in Pakistan like floods and earthquakes and GIS techniques.
