The quality , data amount and information content of GeoInformation Systems (GIS) dealing with natural hazards and vulnerability assessment has increased considerably during the last decades. Meanwhile many countries have implemented such a GIS for the public use, whereby satellite imageries before and after disasters form important layers within these GIS. In the scope of this research adaptation strategies are developed by presenting an approach in which Geographic Information Systems, used together with remote sensing data, contribute to the analysis and presentation of information, especially required for the increasing geo-hazards in Morocco, such as earthquakes, mass movements and flooding using mainly free available, existing data for contributing to a GIS integrated data base.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
