ndvi evi savi and msavi


🍀 The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is used to quantify vegetation greenness and is useful in understanding vegetation density and assessing changes in plant health.

🍀 The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) corrects for some atmospheric conditions and canopy background noise and is more sensitive in areas with dense vegetation.

🍀 The Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) is used to correct NDVI for the influence of soil brightness in areas with low vegetation cover. 

🍀 The Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI) further minimizes the effects of bare soil in areas with low vegetation cover.

Role of Geography in Disaster Management

Geography plays a pivotal role in disaster management by facilitating an understanding of the impact of natural disasters, guiding preparedness efforts, and supporting effective response and recovery. By analyzing geographical features, environmental conditions, and historical data, geography empowers disaster management professionals to identify risks, plan for hazards, respond to emergencies, assess damage, and monitor recovery. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) serve as crucial tools, providing critical spatial data for informed decision-making throughout the disaster management cycle. Key Concepts, Terminologies, and Examples 1. Identifying Risk: Concept: Risk identification involves analyzing geographical areas to understand their susceptibility to specific natural disasters. By studying historical events, topography, climate patterns, and environmental factors, disaster management experts can predict which regions are most vulnerable. Terminologies: Hazard Risk: The pr...

Disaster Management

1. Disaster Risk Analysis → Disaster Risk Reduction → Disaster Management Cycle Disaster Risk Analysis is the first step in managing disasters. It involves assessing potential hazards, identifying vulnerable populations, and estimating possible impacts. Once risks are identified, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies come into play. DRR aims to reduce risk and enhance resilience through planning, infrastructure development, and policy enforcement. The Disaster Management Cycle then ensures a structured approach by dividing actions into pre-disaster, during-disaster, and post-disaster phases . Example Connection: Imagine a coastal city prone to cyclones: Risk Analysis identifies low-lying areas and weak infrastructure. Risk Reduction includes building seawalls, enforcing strict building codes, and training residents for emergency situations. The Disaster Management Cycle ensures ongoing preparedness, immediate response during a cyclone, and long-term recovery afterw...

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Disaster management involves several phases, including mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, and rehabilitation . Recovery and rehabilitation are post-disaster activities that aim to restore normalcy and improve resilience in affected areas. 1. Recovery Recovery is the long-term process of rebuilding communities, infrastructure, economy, and social systems after a disaster. It focuses on restoring normalcy while incorporating resilience measures to withstand future disasters. Short-term Recovery – Immediate efforts within weeks or months to restore essential services (e.g., water, electricity, healthcare, shelter). Long-term Recovery – Efforts that take months to years, including rebuilding infrastructure, economic revitalization, and mental health support. Resilience – The ability of a community to recover quickly and adapt to future disasters. Livelihood Restoration – Providing economic support to affected populations through job creation, skill training, a...

Pre During and Post Disaster

Disaster management is a structured approach aimed at reducing risks, responding effectively, and ensuring a swift recovery from disasters. It consists of three main phases: Pre-Disaster (Mitigation & Preparedness), During Disaster (Response), and Post-Disaster (Recovery). These phases involve various strategies, policies, and actions to protect lives, property, and the environment. Below is a breakdown of each phase with key concepts, terminologies, and examples. 1. Pre-Disaster Phase (Mitigation and Preparedness) Mitigation: This phase focuses on reducing the severity of a disaster by minimizing risks and vulnerabilities. It involves structural and non-structural measures. Hazard Identification: Recognizing potential natural and human-made hazards (e.g., earthquakes, floods, industrial accidents). Risk Assessment: Evaluating the probability and consequences of disasters using GIS, remote sensing, and historical data. Vulnerability Analysis: Identifying areas and p...
