Course Information

Introduction

Welcome to the "GIS Application in Disaster Risk Reduction Course" designed for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) aiming to enhance their understanding and utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in mitigating disaster risks.
Over five intensive days, participants will delve into the fundamentals of GIS and explore its practical applications in disaster risk assessment, management, and response.
This agenda is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of GIS applications in disaster risk reduction, with each day focusing on specific aspects to ensure a thorough understanding and practical skill development for participants.

Objectives

• Equip participants with essential GIS knowledge and skills relevant to disaster risk reduction efforts.
• Provide hands-on training in GIS tools and techniques for mapping, analyzing, and visualizing disaster-prone areas.
• Foster an understanding of spatial data management and its significance in informed decision-making during disasters.
• Empower NGOs to integrate GIS technology into their disaster risk reduction strategies effectively.
• Facilitate networking opportunities and collaboration among NGOs working in disaster-prone regions.
