Research on rapid production technology of earthquake emergency thematic maps

Earthquake often inflicts severe casualties and property losses. Earthquake emergency and rescue is an important part of protecting against and mitigating earthquake disasters. Thematic maps could directly reflect the destruction information caused by earthquake and play an important role in post-earthquake emergency work. In this paper, a novel approach for earthquake emergency thematic maps rapid production is proposed and implemented. The key technologies include: pre-stored thematic map data rapid generation, pre-stored thematic map data organization and management, visual configuration and generation of thematic map, batch drawing and automatic output of thematic map. The research results are applied in real earthquake work, and are significant to enhance the earthquake emergency response capability.
