Overview

This analysis identifies flood emergency shelters in flood-prone areas of Chalakudy River Basin, suggesting better preparedness for disasters.

Key Points

  • 1.79% of the study area is identified as most suitable for flood emergency shelters, highlighting critical locations.
  • Multicriteria analysis and a weighted sum approach are employed in Geographic Information System to evaluate shelter suitability.
  • The study aids in emergency responses during floods by raising awareness about shelter locations for local communities.
  • Findings can assist disaster management authorities and local planning committees in disaster mitigation planning.
