Abstract | Disaster is an event in which a society undergoes severe danger. It may occur as a result of one or more of a wide range of events, both natural and man-made. Information is an essential prerequisite to meaningful study, sound planning and effective response to disaster. Emergency Information System for Thailand (EIST) is an effective system which requires instant access to quality information about the emergency events, its effects, and the geographical distribution of resources to minimize losses and maximize resource efficiency . The proposed system in this study has been based on information of the true flood disaster in Thailand. The proposed EIST package consists of two main components: EIST database component and Geographical Information System (GIS) component. The required information can also be retrieved directly from EIS database component or choosing entities from displayed map through the use of a digitizer. |
