Abstract:
In recent years, the climate change is getting more and more serious. Frequent typhoons and heavy rains aggravate the hazard factors, resulting in more compound disasters. Simultaneously, these compound disasters make the task of disaster prevention more difficult. The disaster management includes four stages: Reduction, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. Soil and Water Conservation Bureau in Taiwan, as the authority responsible for debris flow disaster management, needs to comprehensively cover the disaster prevention works at all stages. Therefore, since 2001, SWCB has been continuously establishing intelligent Debris Flow Decision Information System. The functionalities of the system include the preparedness before disaster, the response during disaster and the field survey after disaster. Through the promotion of disaster prevention education and the establishment of disaster resistant communities, it is hoped that it will be effective in reducing the loss of life and property of the people. At the same time, the system incorporates the introduction of a new era of monitoring facilities and information communication technology, which not only enhances the immediacy and performance of the instrument, but also integrates multiple
pieces of information and transforms them into useful decision data and improves response capabilities. In addition, the system uses various high-tech remote sensed imaging data obtained from drone and satellite image sensors. This system can not only create a complete disaster information report, but also serve as a reference for future disaster prevention decisions.
