Abstract

Remote sensing is the getting hold of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography, land surveying and most Earth Science disciplines (for example, hydrology, ecology , oceanography, glaciology, geology); it also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications. In order to study the areas, object or phenomenon on the surface of the earth, which is commonly known as target, remote sensing is the most popular technique. GIS refers to the system used to define and characterize the earth and other geographical features over it, for the purpose of analyzing spatially referenced information. The information acquired is used to solve real-life problems. This paper deals with remote sensing and GIS and its application in disaster management.
