Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

  • Literature confirms a clear role for religious congregations in disaster recovery.
  • Evidence suggests potential roles in pre-impact (warning, evacuation) and post-impact (survivor welfare) response activities.
  • Predictors and barriers to congregational involvement have been identified.

Conclusions:

  • Religious congregations are valuable assets in disaster management, particularly in recovery and survivor welfare.
  • Further research and integration are needed to fully leverage congregational capacity in all phases of disaster response.
  • Understanding congregational involvement has significant implications for emergency management practice and policy.
