Satellite Remote Sensing

Accurate and reliable georeferenced information, early warning and alert message based on scientific monitoring techniques and methods would minimize the severity of the impending drought. Spatial and temporal co-ordinates and attributes would enhance the reliability and also, in communicating, the potential impact to the specific vulnerable groups of the society. The advancements made in the orbital resources satellite technology could aid in mapping the disaster area, prediction/forecasting of impending disaster and disaster relief management. They are discussed in this chapter.
