An analytics dashboard visualization for flood decision support system

Nowadays, visual analytics dashboard for decision support system for disaster management is very essential, as the frequency of several disasters is growing rapidly. It is very useful to take decision in time-sensitive environment from diverse rapid data set. Thus, it is critical to reduce the overhead in data integration and visualization for efficient decision making. Geographical map visualization can be an effective solution in such environments by providing an integrated approach to extract, integrate, and view diverse information. In this paper, an analytics dashboard has been developed for identifying and visualizing risk zones and vulnerable areas before disaster has occurred. For this, rescuer will have more time to be prepared and a better plan will be produced to rescue the people and reallocate them into safe areas.Graphical Abstract
