Geospatial Information, Earth Observation, and Emerging Technologies and Techniques for Disaster Risk Reduction
BUP
Disaster Management Forum is going to arrange a webinar on “Geospatial
Information, Earth Observation, and Emerging Technologies and Techniques for
Disaster Risk Reduction” on the event of International Day for Disaster Risk
Reduction 2020, where the importance of different tools and how it
impacts Disaster Risk Reduction will be discussed thoroughly.
Disasters
are wreaking all across the world every single year. Bangladesh, being prone to
disaster at yearly scale, has to face multiple disasters every year. Disasters
in Bangladesh are significant events as they not only hamper the flow of life
but cause so much damage that it becomes difficult from time to time to recover
from them. These problems resulted in DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) which is to
reduce the risk and impact of a disaster by taking systematic approaches. To
complete and apply these approaches, many tools are required. BUP Disaster
Management Forum has planned to arrange this webinar to discuss the available
tools & techniques for DDR and how emerging techniques are shaping the
future of DDR, which will not only benefit the students to be selective on the
skills to develop which studentship but also the professionals to ponder on the
techniques. The hour-long event is to be held on Zoom on 13 October
2020, starting at 9:00 PM (BST).
