摘要

This chapter explores the important role of Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS) and remote sensing technologies in enhancing disaster and climate resilience. With advances in science and technology, significant innovations have been made in applying these technologies to disaster management. Using high-resolution remote sensing data and accurate GPS positioning can improve the accuracy of disaster prediction and monitoring, rapidly assess the impact of disasters, and optimize the allocation of relief resources. Meanwhile, combining artificial intelligence and big data analysis has enabled intelligent assessment and early warning of disaster risks, improved management efficiency, and enhanced community resilience. Many cases exist in the Asia–Pacific region, such as remote sensing to monitor forest fires and GPS to analyze sea level rise, demonstrating the effectiveness of technology in different disasters. Strategies such as strengthening international cooperation, open data sharing, and localized training can promote the diffusion and availability of technology. With advances in satellite technology and sensors, GPS and remote sensing technologies will play a greater role in disaster management.
