Disasters, alarm alerts for world humanity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to a report by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), in the period 2000-2019, the world recorded 7,348 major natural disasters, nearly doubling compared with the previous 20 years. The world has suffered from heat waves, floods, and earthquakes with a magnitude and impact rarely seen in history, raising a worrying signal for humanity.<\/p>\n

The earthquake in T\u00fcrkiye and Syria has caused global tremors and heavy losses. The World Bank reckons the quake caused $34.2 billion in direct material damage in Turkey, where at least 45,000 people died. In comparison, the death toll in Syria was more than 5,900 people and has caused an estimated $5.1 billion in direct material damage in Syria, making it even more difficult for the country engulfed in civil war for years.<\/p>\n

These worrying figures have prompted governments to put even more emphasis on disaster management, through a four-stage cyclical process known as the disaster management cycle, including preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. Currently, with significant progress, technology has played an essential role in disaster management, not only helping people protect the community and plan to respond to disasters but also helping exploit information helpful information in the future.<\/p>\n

What is Disaster Technology (D-tech)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Disaster Technology (D-Tech) was created with the belief that technological innovation will play an essential role in disaster management. Disaster technology (D-Tech) refers to technical solutions that can protect lives before, during and after disasters to minimize the impact of disasters on people’s lives, well-being and the well-being economy.<\/p>\n

Adopting technologies for disaster management has brought ease in the collection, analysis, disposal and efficient use of resources, helping to support decision-making, preparedness and response in rescue operations, care and recovery. According to an update in February 2023 from Tracxn, about 200 companies in Emergency Management and Response globally exist.<\/p>\n
