These projections are necessary for future requirements of the people and phasing is necessary for all the anticipated objectives to be achieved in the phased manner. For availability of data of base level facilities available in the area, location specific information can be gathered from geo-informatics. Geo-informatics has large and vide coverage where the events of various disasters can be known and timely action is taken to minimize the problem. Though the technological network has been established but the state and district administrations are not fully equipped to receive the information to analyze for the intensity and initiate immediate measures. The administrative system still works through conventional measures, which are not very reliable, time consuming and unable to know the intensity of the disaster in befitted manner.
