Disaster Management Using Geomatic Science

Need to quick access to information for planning, decision-making, operation, monitoring and implementing in various branches of science in the world is the reason for the growth of new technologies and among them is Geomatic science. In the context of disaster management, Geomatic science can be used to enhance and improve rescue services (e.g., positioning of emergency facilities, surrounding environmental researching, real-time GPS tracking, video monitoring and GIS emergency response planning, and its modeling). The application of emergency system based on GIS is seen as a vital tool and means for emergency rescue as it will greatly reinforce the accuracy and responses thus reducing the time for rescue as relevant resources are readily available. The system having features such as real-time and dynamics can also analyze and optimize the shortest path required for relief and rescue operations thus providing the emergency rescue with strong technical support. In this paper we sketch the structure and functions of these systems and describe which roll Geomatic science. Particularly Geo Information science play in rescue services Systems. The results of the study are the basis for further work in the field of emergency management
