1. Remote sensing is a very effective tool in mapping disaster prone areas particularly flood- affected areas.
2. Micro-wave data can provide information on flood-inundated areas.
3. Remote sensing satellites monitor the path of cyclone and it can provide ample time with warning for evacuation and preparedness in advance.
4. The data obtained from meteorological satellites is used for cyclone-tracking, intensity and land-fall predictions and forecasting of extreme weather events.
5. The data obtained from earth observation satellites is used for monitoring disaster events and assessing the damages.
6. The communication satellites help to establish communication in remote and inaccessible areas.
7. The Navigation satellites are used for providing location-based services.
