Hello Learner, this post is to inform you that ISRO launches a free course on Geoinformatics for Disaster Management. If you complete this course you will get a free certificate from ISRO without any examination.
About Course –
In general Remote Sensing provides data that can be interpreted and analyzed to produce hazard, vulnerability and risk maps, that have immense value in any kind of activities related to disaster management.
Secondly, many types of disasters have precursors, which can be detected at an early stage by orbiting satellites and can be used for the prediction of both rapid and slow disasters.
When a disaster occurs, the aerospace media provides the quickest mode of information collection and can be utilized for monitoring during the event.
Geoinformatics can assist in damage assessment and aftermath monitoring, providing a quantitative base for relief operations.
It can be used for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in development planning.
Last but not least, it can address climate change/variability and sustainable development issues.
