WORKSHOP ON DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

THROUGH UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE 27th FEBRUARY - 1st MARCH 2014

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies are getting into commercial applications. Combining surveillance video technologies with UAV enable data collection in inaccessible geographic locations or in areas where conventional technologies have limited use. Present workshop will bring together researchers, companies and end-users particularly to explore the potential civilian applications of UAV for rapid mapping, data collection during humanitarian crises and emergencies. Successful operation of UAVs requires a range of expertise, from initial planning to piloting skills and autonomous programing skills. This workshop will provide a glimpse of basic and state of the art hardware / software of UAV-based applications. ABOUT THE CENTRE FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION The Centre for Disaster Risk Reduction (CDRR) at the NITK Surathkal was started with the objective of studying the causes of disasters and developing appropriate technologies for disaster risk reduction, developing indigenous technologies for addressing local problems and providing periodic training and dissemination of knowledge to local community. The CDRR is involved with the local disaster management agency of the district administration in carrying out studies regarding disaster vulnerability of the nearby areas with a focus on risk management/reduction through laboratory and field studies. The centre has procured state-of-the art equipment and instrumentation for monitoring and experimentations in field as well as laboratories.
