Risk and Hazard Management involves identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring natural and human-induced hazards to minimize their impact on people, property, and the environment. It supports decision-making by integrating spatial and non-spatial data to prepare communities, strengthen infrastructure resilience, and ensure sustainable development. GIS and remote sensing play a vital role in hazard mapping, vulnerability analysis, and risk zoning.
