Floods are among the most common natural hazards around world. Mapping and evaluating potential flood essential for risk management mitigation strategies, particularly in coastal areas. Several factors play significant roles flooding recognizing role of these flood-related may enhance disaster prediction strategies. This study focuses on using Shannon’s entropy model to predict seven causing floods Governorate Muscat, Sultanate Oman, mapping flood-prone The selected (including ground...

This study presents a geographic information system (GIS)-supported three-dimensional fuzzy risk assessment approach (3D GIS-FRA) for flood that is based on the development of fuzzy-set model, 3D GIS mapping, and hydro-statistical simulation. Using digital elevation model (DEM), urban settings under different levels are visualized hydraulic simulations conducted various river flow scenarios to determine rates specified levels. Then, statistical analysis carried out using historical records...

WebGIS provides key decision support capabilities for disaster and emergency management community. Perspective visualization simultaneous access to data are among those that provide in of informed decisions-making process. This paper presents a application flood modeling section the Don Valley watershed Toronto, Canada. Different flooding scenarios under different hypothetical water surface elevations were predicted visual model has been published visualized environment using GeoServNet...

Abstract This study proposes a large-scale artificial aquifer recharge plan to increase the strategic water reserve cope with future emergencies. The main aim of is restore groundwater levels those 1980s through recharge. Desalinated or highly treated municipal sewage effluent could be artificially recharged into it. Potentiometric surface aquifers and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis were used assess change in between 1980 2009. Zones that have experienced considerable decline...

This paper discusses the process of designing a spatial “knowledgebase” for infrastructure interdependency. Infrastructure interdependency is new field research that deals with interrelationships between critical sectors in disaster management. The design and implementation knowledgebase mimics selected are conducted. contributes to emergency management by using network-centric modeling approach implementing an WEBGIS environment effective decision-making process, historical scenario...

This research introduces a hybrid approach for flood risk assessment through GIS. The developed is based on the integration of hydraulic simulation and GIS analysis, which allows spatial-based visualisation prediction disaster. In particular, Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) model employed to simulate multi-scenario cases within Canadian context; dimensional stream channel constructed geometry obtained from Digital Elevation Model (DEM), ArcView software used...

Road networks and healthcare facilities are among the key critical infrastructure sectors in City of Jeddah. A considerable portion these requires verification possibility being at risk or influenced by various catastrophes, for example flash floods, earthquakes because terrorism operational failures. This paper presents a proposition how concept resiliency can be modelled visualised using geospatial information systems (GIS). The will lay foundation cornerstone emergency management...

Abstract. Jazan city is a fast-growing coastal in the southern part of Saudi Arabia, Red Sea. Recently, it has encountered quick industrial development activities. To monitor these activities, changes zone morphology explore over last 30 years (1987–2017) using GIS and remote sensing techniques. Four satellite images (TM ETM) acquired during intervals were performed. Furthermore, growth created based on direct digitizing from Google Earth Pro to identify extension expansion area study this...

Flooding is one of the most commonly occurring natural hazards worldwide.Mapping and evaluation potential flood are vital parts risk assessment mitigation.This study focuses on predicting coastal susceptibility area in Muscat Governorate, Sultanate Oman.First, it assumed that occurrence a hazard can be determined based indicators influencing it.Thus, four were selected classified into five classes their contribution to probability; these include ground elevation, slope degree, soil...
