A REVIEW ON THE APPLICATION OF REMOTESENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATIONSYSTEM IN FLOOD CRISIS MANAGEMENT
2020
Flood is considered as one of the most devastating hazards around the globe and emerged as an
important issue among all the stakeholder to manage. Every year when the flood occurs, it has a terrible impact
on human lives and demolishes billions of dollars property and infrastructure as well. The flood catastrophe and
its losses can be reduced and prevented by flood inundation maps which provides a reliable and accurate
information to the public. The principle objective of this paper is to review the application of Geographical
information system (GIS) and technology of Remote sensing (RS) in geospatial skills and expertise in sciences,
the integration and utilization of spatial and information technology effectively and more prominence is on
using non-structure approaches based on remote sensing and geographic information system in flood crisis
management. The advantages of solving complex logistics operations, accuracy with high speed which provides
a reliable change, improved communication, monitoring capability, modeling, estimation of flood risk,
promoted a cost saving mechanism with greater efficiency/friendly adaptability with the environment of theses
digitize systems purposes to using more and more spatial application in flood crisis management. Geospatial
information and remote sensing utilization serves as bridge between the flooding security measures and early
prediction system. The paper encompasses the advantages of RS & GIS which acts as a tool in monitoring and
improving before, during and after the flood crisis management in Malaysia.
