Disaster Risk Assessment (DRA): A Professional Overview Disaster Risk Assessment (DRA) is a systematic process used to identify, analyze, and evaluate the potential hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks posed by disasters to people, property, infrastructure, and the environment. It is a critical tool for effective disaster risk management, enabling communities, organizations, and governments to make informed decisions and implement appropriate mitigation measures. Key Components of DRA Hazard Identification: Identifying the types of hazards that could potentially affect a specific area, such as natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, cyclones), technological disasters (industrial accidents, infrastructure failures), or man-made disasters (conflicts, pandemics). Vulnerability Assessment: Evaluating the susceptibility of people, infrastructure, and the environment to the identified hazards. This involves assessing factors such as location, construction quality, socio-economic co
Focused on advancing knowledge and expertise in Geography, GIS, Remote Sensing, Geographical Data Science, and Analysis, I am deeply committed to teaching and conducting research in these fields.
