Abstract
Disasters, defined as unpredictable and inevitable natural occurrences, can have detrimental impacts on societal, economic, environmental, and humanitarian domains. Geospatial technologies, encompassing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Remote Sensing (RS), offer powerful instruments in the management of disasters. Urban areas worldwide face a range of significant threats, including droughts, floods, earthquakes, and epidemics. The study aims to comprehend how these technologies can be employed for risk reduction, and identify the obstacles encountered in their implementation. By integrating GIS, GNSS, and RS into disaster management protocols, we can substantially diminish the negative consequences of disasters. Nonetheless, considerable challenges persist in the operational, application, and management aspects of deploying geospatial technology for disaster risk assessments. To harness the immense potential of geospatial technologies for enhancing disaster and emergency management, these obstacles must be confronted and overcome. This necessitates ongoing research, improved system interoperability, and significant capacity-building efforts, especially within at-risk communities
