Use of geoinformation technologies for monitoring and evaluating the consequences of emergencies

Abstract

In this article, the authors consider the possibilities of using geoinformation technologies for monitoring and assessing the consequences of emergency situations. The authors consider two modes of functioning of the geographic information system - research and operational, define their goals and objectives. In addition, the article draws attention to the ways of using the use of geoinformation technologies - remote sensing of the Earth, observation cameras, images from artificial earth satellites, space images, etc. Using the example of spring floods and forest fires (which is especially relevant for Yakutia in the current year), the authors consider the possibilities of using geoinformation technologies to monitor them. In conclusion of the article, the authors conclude that the use of geoportals makes it possible to combine various data sources into a single information system, which, with successful functioning, can complement each other. As a result, monitoring of emergencies, carried out using geoinformation technologies, can be very effective. This means that the consequences of an emergency situation can be eliminated with minimal losses for all living things, including people. According to the authors of the article, this is the main goal in the elimination of an emergency.
