GIS for Urban/Regional Planning and Resource Science, Management and Policy
Risk Management GIS
The planning, design and administration
of disaster-resistant communities requires extensive data and methods for avoiding
or mitigating the many natural and manmade hazards which may exist. These may
range from floodway hazards, unstable slope conditions and other adverse geotechnical
conditions to known hazardous material storage locations and historical relict
hazardous waste sites. Risk management GIS combines hazard inventories with analytical
tools to assist in hazard avoidance, the development and documentation of emergency
response plans, disaster response, post disaster recovery, and site monitoring
and remediation.
