APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS IN EARTHQUAKE STUDY 'A CASE STUDY OF BHUJ EARTHQUAKE 2001'

摘要

The present paper attempts to study the principal causes of the damage that took place in Gujarat after the January 26, 2001 earthquake. A disaster management plan has also been evolved which can be useful for handling the situation in future. From the study it has been inferred that there have been a multiplicity of causes that have caused damage to life and property in Gujarat. The use of satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques can play a vital role in the earthquake disaster management in the short run as well as in the long run.
