DISASTER MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Due to the limited duration of this pilot project, and the complex data
requirements of modeling most of the natural hazards such as
earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, and mudslides, this project will
focus on floods, erosion and drought.
Disaster management being a multi-disciplinary Endeavour would
require working with multiple stakeholders and users each with its own
interests. To be able to model the information needs of all stakeholders
and users in this pilot project would require a much longer time to
accomplish, thus this project will focus on key government ministries
such as Planning, Health, Agriculture etc.
Once the pilot project is successfully implemented, the need to develop a
National Disaster Management Information System covering all disaster
prone districts and provinces in the country becomes imperative.
Government is then able to reliable take action decisions based on
accurate and timely decisions. Information relating to the spatial and
temporal aspect of natural hazards, their characteristics, impacts and
frequencies of occurrence becomes common knowledge to a resilient
knowledge based communities.
Early Warning System
Cyclone Forecasting
Tropical Cyclones are intense low pressure systems which develop over
warm sea. They are capable of causing immense damage due to strong
winds, heavy rains and storm surges. The frequency of the TC in the Bay
of Bengal is 4 to 5 times more than in the Arabian Sea. About 35% of
initial disturbances in the north Indian ocean reach TC stage of which
45% become severe.
Flood Forecasting
Flooding is caused by the inadequate capacity within the banks of the
rivers to contain the high flow brought down from the upper catchments
due to heavy rainfall. It is also caused by accumulation of water
resulting from heavy spells of rainfall over areas, which have got poor
drainage characteristics
The feasibility study must answer these questions carefully. They revolve
around evaluation and investigation of the problem. This investigation may
propose one or more systems. The best system is selected as proposed system
depending upon the specification of performance and cost of the system.
Economic feasibility
Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the
effectiveness of a new system. More commonly known as cost/benefit
analysis, the procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are
expected from a candidate system and compare them with costs. If
benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and
implement the system. An entrepreneur must accurately weigh the cost
versus benefits before taking an action.
Cost Based Study: It is important to identify cost and benefit factors,
which can be categorized as follows: 1. Development costs; and 2.
Operating costs. This is an analysis of the costs to be incurred in the
system and the benefits derivable out of the system.
Legal feasibility
Operational feasibility
Schedule feasibility
Resource feasibility
This involves questions such as how much time is available to build the
new system, when it can be built, whether it interferes with normal
business operations, type and amount of resources required,
dependencies, etc. Contingency and mitigation plans should also be
stated here.
Cultural feasibility
In this stage, the project's alternatives are evaluated for their impact on
the local and general culture. For example, environmental factors need
to be considered and these factors are to be well known. Further an
enterprise's own culture can clash with the results of the project.
Output
"A what?" you ask with a look of semi-shock. Panic sets in. "What did I
do to deserve this? I don't even know where to start! Maybe someone on
the TECHWR-L list can help...."
This article will describe what an SRS is and why it's important, discuss
how and why technical writers should be involved with them, and
discuss the critical elements for writing an SRS. Although this article
does not attempt to address all aspects of developing SRSs, it aims to
help you determine the scope for such a project, to provide some
guidelines for writing SRSs, and to provide additional resources.
Hopefully with this information, you'll not be asking, "Why me?" but
proclaiming "Why not me?"

FEATURES OF HTML ARE :
HTML FRAMES :
FRAMES
With frames, you can display more than one HTML document in the
same browser window. Each HTML document is called a frame, and
each frame is independent of the others.
• The <frameset> tag defines how to divide the window into frames
• Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns
• The values of the rows/columns indicate the amount of screen area
each row/column will occupy
• The <frame> tag defines what HTML document to put into each
frame
In the example below we have a frameset with two columns. The first
column is set to 25% of the width of the browser window. The second
column is set to 75% of the width of the browser window. The HTML
document "frame_a.htm" is put into the first column, and the HTML
document "frame_b.htm" is put into the second column:

INPUT
The most used form tag is the <input> tag. The type of input is specified
with the type attribute. The most commonly used input types are
explained below.
Text Fields
Text fields are used when you want the user to type letters, numbers, etc.
in a form.
