Abstract :
Disaster is a geo-climatic event. It affects the human life by destroying the whole thing with no or very little prior indication. For disasters, climate does changes and creates multiple threats. These threat does not affect the single country or continent, it effects the whole world either it is a developed country or developing country. As the changes occurs with high frequency and high intensity of weather and climate hazards, such as floods, droughts, cyclones, landslides, forest fire, heat and cold waves are expected. Globally, naturally disasters account for nearly 80 percent of all disaster affected area and people. Natural disaster and hazards cannot be prevented, but their adverse impact can be minimized by taking certain mitigation measure. Planning and preparedness are the some important measures to mitigate the negative impact of disaster. As the level of technology increases, we are able to get prior information about the location and magnitude of the disaster. With GIS and RS, it has become possible. These technologies do play an important role in disaster management and in catering to the needs of the affected area with its tools and applications.
