At the Second BRICS Technical Meeting on Disaster Risk Reduction held in Puri, Himachal Pradesh showcased its innovative Geographic Information System (GIS)-driven Urban Resilience Platform. This initiative positions the state as a leader in utilizing geospatial technologies for disaster preparedness and urban governance. Dr. Pushpendra Rana, Special Secretary (Disaster Management), emphasized the need for a 'living systems' approach to disaster management, viewing urban areas as interconnected networks. The GIS-based Decision Support System has already mapped over 15,000 properties across 16 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), creating a comprehensive database for emergency planning. This platform facilitates rapid post-disaster impact assessments and real-time situational awareness, crucial for effective disaster response. Furthermore, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies is planned to enhance predictive risk assessment and early warning systems, aiming to strengthen resilience in vulnerable mountain regions.
