Spatiotemporal analysis of hydrometeorological disasters in the Indian Himalayas: integrating space-based techniques for enhanced disaster resilience - in development
The historical disasters of the study region, the Garhwal Himalaya, were collected, and the types of hydrometeorological disasters (HMD) were tabulated with location, attribute, morbidity, and extent from 1803 to 2025. The Garhwal region has been divided into 58 tehsils (sub-administrative regions). For analysing past HMDs and to map Multi-Hazard Susceptibility Zonation on the tehsil level, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, satellite data, k-means clustering, and AHP techniques were used.
