Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have gained much attention for their applications in disaster management and are increasingly utilized throughout the entire disaster management cycle as a tool to support decision making. GIS is commonly recognized as a key support tool for disaster management (Mileti, 1999). The visualization capabilities of these systems have almost become expected by policymakers, disaster managers, and even the public.
