Study shows that tiers are needed in standardizing level of disaster before the activation of MNSC 20 and IDMS framework introduces will assist the responders in managing disaster more effectively. While the development of IDMS based on development of expert system utilizing document review, survey questionnaire and observation method as basis for knowledge conceptualization. Model of incident potential index were introduced thru detailed document analysis and validated using content and face validity method. It is the objective of this paper to introduce a model of an incident potential index which is in line with Malaysia disaster Management Policy and outlined a framework on an integrated disaster management system (IDMS) for lead responding agency in Malaysia. Community also need to be prepared to respond during disasters and in achieving so, standardization is important in developing each of the community disaster management program. Experts are important during disaster unfortunately, experts may not always be present when needed hence, the importance of the computerized system to assist responders during response and recovery phases of disasters are crucial. This can be done by involving experts as stated in Malaysia National Security Council Directive no.

Considering the increase in the number of disasters occurring in Malaysia, capability to manage the disasters effectively have become more crucial hence in doing so, it is important for disaster management in Malaysia to be supported.

Integration of GIS with Remote Sensing technology acts as a tool to solve complex planning and management problems and support decision making in disaster management cycle.ĭisaster is a sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life. These systems generate data over a large area anywhere in the earth, irrespective of the nature of the locality and provide precise, regular and almost instantaneous information. Visualization capabilities, generation of real-time data of these technologies have increased the attention and utility of these systems by experts of various committees. RE and GIS is potentially applicable to address various issue and manage policies for all phases in disaster management cycle. It provides the fascinated researchers a starting point to identify prospective research directions in the field of disaster management and help to revive relevant issues concerning about disaster risk. The main objective of this study is to assess and review the current applications of Remote Sensing (RE) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in disaster management cycle. Disasters are inevitable in nature, and recouping of damage is almost impossible.
