Title: Description of the Application
Course: Multi-Hazard Risk assessment and understanding disaster

Various GIS and remote sensing based sources, concepts, techniques, and tools are used during this course. The sources for spatial data can be from different sources including Field observation/measurement, GPS based data collection, Remote sensing and software based derivations like map digitization. Satellite based data acquisition is providing continues image products for almost all areas of the world at different spatial resolutions. The field based data collection is also vital in providing ground based accurate measurements which often helps to calibrate space based products. Dessie zuria and Kuta Ber are the study area for this training module. These two areas had been affected by drought several times.
