This work serves as a basis for formulating a ‘preparedness plan’ to ensure the effective policy formulation for planned development. Increased demand and competition with a high degree of variability have forced people to struggle in order to prosper. Good governance and innovative policy formulation are necessary to create a resilient society. This may promote a paradigm shift in the mindset on and perceptions of natural hazards and their impacts on development and growth. This new perspective will make people more concerned about minimizing the loss of life, property, and environmental damage and directly safeguard the development process. This book presents a detailed methodological approach to monitoring meteorological, hydrological, and climate change aspects to help resolve issues related to our environment, resources, and economies in the changing climate situation.SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,2191-5369Natural disastersGeographical information systemsRemote sensingNatural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Geographical Information Systems/Cartographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13000Remote Sensing/Photogrammetryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010Natural disasters.Geographical information systems.Remote sensing.Natural Hazards.Geographical Information Systems/Cartography.Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry.363.340954Ghosh Tuhinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061963Mukhopadhyay Anirbanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298375403321Natural Hazard Zonation of Bihar (India) Using Geoinformatics2521596UNINA
