    Abstract

    An overview of the status quo, technological gaps and as yet unrecognized potentials in exploitation of the remote sensing satellites for reducing natural disasters is given. Many demonstrations and studies have proved the feasibility of the data gathered by remote sensing satellites for disaster management purposes. To supplement earth resource satellites, dedicated sensor systems and integration of other data sources are needed to improve disaster management and to fill in technological gaps.
