Hazard Mapping

Hazard mapping is a process used to identify and visualize areas that are at risk from natural or human-made hazards, like floods, earthquakes, or landslides. By creating maps that highlight these risks, communities can better understand where danger might occur, allowing for improved planning, resource allocation, and response strategies. These maps help residents recognize potential threats, assist in emergency preparedness, and inform decision-making for building infrastructure and land use, ultimately aiming to enhance safety and resilience in affected areas.
