Abstract: With each passing day, catastrophe risk for urban regions of the world is increasing. One of these catastrophes is the earthquake and recent events in Northridge and Kobe were typical examples of what can happen when a major earthquake strikes directly under a densely populated area. Mega cities created by the rapid urbanization and development in unsafe areas led to far greater losses experienced in the past. In order to reduce the property losses after an earthquake a quick repair process is a major task. Th… Show more

“…With this mission statement and aid, developing countries can respond to catastrophic situations and disasters with efficient mitigation measures exploiting maximum available resources. Geo-spatial information enables city planners or management authorities to assess potential risks and devise appropriate policies to guide future urban growth [39,40]. High-resolution (both spatial and temporal) Earth observation satellites and innovations/developments in remote-sensing techniques/equipment, have enhanced the quality of landslide vulnerability assessments significantly [41,42], but timely DEM products at higher scale and accuracy are needed for these applications [43].…”
