ABSTRACT Natural disasters are characterized as a combination of natural hazards and vulnerabilities that endanger communities and result in significant financial and human losses. The uncertain occurrence of these events and the limited resources in affected regions constitute their core attributes. Leveraging information technology to assess, forecast, and depict these occurrences can improve handling such disasters.
