This book offers a thorough explanation of disaster management principles, demonstrating their practical application through software and early warning systems. Its primary goal is to introduce the use of advanced technology in disaster management. Consequently, it begins with a fundamental overview and identifies the types of disasters that this technology can address. The book then examines these technological functions by considering various elements susceptible to disaster-related losses. Finally, it analyzes the outcomes using software tools: OPNET and the SAHANA Disaster Management Tool. The extensive application of sensor systems in managing disasters is also a key focus of the discussion.
