The increase in number and diversity of disasters encountered in the world motivates researchers to develop technologies that can be integrated into disaster management. In reducing the number and impacts of future disasters, there is a need for coordinated research activities involving all stakeholders, especially communities at risk, and a better understanding and use of new technologies. This book’s chapters consist of up-to-date information that covers the basic issues in disaster management from a broad perspective and is thought to make a significant contribution to the literature. This book is a study that brings together interdisciplinary researchers and experts who want to develop solutions in the field of emergency aid and disaster management and aims to develop the potential uses of new technologies in terms of disaster management. At the same time, based on data obtained from recent disasters, researchers open a new window to governments, decision makers and disaster experts in the digital age. This book will be of interest to researchers, policy makers, students and practitioners interested in disaster management, disaster response, emergency management, digitalization, and new technologies.
