Vision: To effectively use Geospatial technology for developing an impact-based forecast model to study the impact of disasters vis-à-vis social vulnerabilities in the country.

Objectives

y Assessment of the coastal vulnerability along the Indian coast y To develop a 3D GIS database for the selected vulnerable coasts y To develop integrated software to assess and visualize the most vulnerable and high-risk areas coastal areas

Stakeholders Involved

Coastal Disaster management authority (State and district level), Ministry of Home Affairs, National Disaster Management Authority, coastal communities, industries, and other strategic establishments along the coast. Solution and Implementation

Coastal Vulnerability Index: Assessed based on the physical and geological parameters for the Indian coast, the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) uses the relative risk that physical changes will occur as the sea-level rises. These risks are then quantified based on the parameters of tidal range, wave height, coastal slope, coastal elevation, shoreline change, geomorphology, and historical rate of relative sea level.
