Introduction
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires have devastating impacts on human lives, infrastructure, and the environment. In recent years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as powerful tools for managing natural disasters by providing decision-makers with spatially referenced data and analysis capabilities. GIS technology allows for the visualization, analysis, and interpretation of data in order to better understand the dynamics of natural disasters and make informed decisions for disaster response and recovery efforts.

Project Research Overview
The role of GIS in natural disaster management has become increasingly important in recent years as the frequency and intensity of natural disasters continue to rise. This project aims to explore the use of GIS technology in disaster management, with a focus on its applications, challenges, and opportunities. The research will involve a comprehensive literature review, data collection and analysis, and a discussion of findings to provide insights into the effectiveness of GIS in disaster management.
By examining case studies and best practices, this project will identify the potential benefits of integrating GIS with other technologies and data sources to improve disaster response and recovery efforts. The project will also highlight the limitations and challenges of using GIS in disaster management, as well as provide recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to enhance the use of GIS in this critical area.
Overall, this project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the role of GIS in natural disaster management and provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the field. By understanding the capabilities and limitations of GIS technology, stakeholders can better prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters in a more efficient and effective manner.
