GIS   (Geographic Information System)
GPS  (Global Positioning System)
RS    (Remote Sensing)

These application tools are useful in disaster management decision making. The evolution of computer technology and the availability of hardware is helpful for the rapid expansion of GIS in both disaster research and practice.

GIS is useful for hazard zone mapping and during emergency conditions. Mitigation of people are easily possible by using these maps.

GIS and RS are much beneficial in mitigation strategies and preparedness plans.
