  • 摘要:Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays significant roles in the flood disaster prediction and on its management strategies. In time flood prediction and effective information are highly desirable by the government and other humanitarian organizations those involved in the decision making process and rescue operations. It contributes in the domain of disaster management and implementation of a wide range of technology during all the disaster phases. It can be observed the role of ICT to underline risk areas. Disaster management has been substantiated for technology advancement in the form of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Early Warning Systems (EWS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Remote Sensing and satellite communication. This can help in an excessive deal for the integrated system of hazards. By GIS we can empower the assessment; on the other hand, remote sensing is a very effective towards identification of hazard areas based on real time and communication satellites can become timely relief measures. Pakistan is facing major disasters like earthquake, flood, drought, glaciers melting land and snow sliding. However, in the last decade floods are one most destructive disaster. Due to unpredicted heavy monsoon rainfall and melting of being the most common causes which results massive losses of life, property, agricultural land damages as well as in livestock. There is an urgent need in the adoption of technology integration to identify the challenges using ICT for overall estimates of disaster prediction and its management to prevent the big losses. In this study, we explore ICT role in flood disaster prediction and its strategy management through spatial analysis of hazard for the resilience and redundancy in the District Mianwali, Punjab, Pakistan.
