"The outcome of emergency management is to prevent disasters and where this is not possible, to reduce their harmful impacts."
Used to track and display incident management for disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, or forest fires.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): The system used to store, manage, and analyze geographic data.
Remote Sensing: The process of obtaining information about an object, area, or phenomenon without making physical contact.
Spatial Data Analysis: The process of examining spatial data to find patterns and relationships.
Map Projections: The technique used to represent the curved surface of the Earth on a flat map.
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs): The three-dimensional representation of the Earth's surface.
Geospatial Data Visualization: The technique used to present geographic data in a visual format.
Spatial Analysis Tools: The software tools used to analyze spatial data.
Disaster Risk Management: The process of assessing, identifying, and reducing the risk of disasters.
Hazard Mapping: Mapping of the location and frequency of natural hazards.
Vulnerability Mapping: Mapping of the areas and populations most at risk of natural disasters.
Emergency Response Planning: Preparing for and responding to natural disasters.
Hazard Mitigation Planning: Planning to reduce the impact of natural disasters.
Spatial Statistics: The branch of statistics that analyzes spatial data.
Geographic Information Science (GISc): The study of geographic information systems and their applications.
Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT): The use of geography, cartography, and geospatial analysis to gather intelligence.
Natural Disaster Cartography: This type of cartography shows the extent and impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis.
Climate Change Cartography: Cartography that illustrates the effects of climate change such as sea level rise, global warming, and shifts in weather patterns.
Epidemic and Pandemic Cartography: Mapping of disease outbreaks, patterns of contagion, and the spread of pandemics such as Covid-19.
Geologic Hazard Cartography: Mapping of hazardous geological conditions such as volcanoes, landslides, and sinkholes.
Conflict and Political Cartography: Mapping of conflicts, wars, and political instability to understand the reasons for conflicts, the extent to which they have spread, and their potential consequences.
Environmental Change Cartography: Cartography that shows the extent and impact of environmental changes such as deforestation, desertification, and pollution.
Urban Growth Cartography: Mapping of urbanization and its effects on the landscape, such as the expansion of cities, construction of infrastructures, and the displacement of people.
Emergency Management Cartography: Mapping of evacuation routes, emergency shelters, and first responders to manage disaster and crisis situations.
Humanitarian Crisis Cartography: Mapping of humanitarian crises to guide aid and relief efforts, such as the distribution of food, water, and medical supplies in refugee camps.
Geological Survey Cartography: Mapping of geological features such as oil fields, faults, and mineral deposits to guide exploration and resource management.
"Emergency management, despite its name, does not actually focus on the management of emergencies, which can be understood as minor events with limited impacts and are managed through the day-to-day functions of a community."
"The management of disasters tends to require some combination of activity from individuals and households, organizations, local, and/or higher levels of government."
"The activities of emergency management can be generally categorized into preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery, although other terms such as disaster risk reduction and prevention are also common."
"Emergency management or disaster management is the managerial function charged with creating the framework within which communities reduce vulnerability to hazards and cope with disasters."
"Emergency management focuses on the management of disasters, which are events that produce more impacts than a community can handle on its own."
