How to produce prediction maps of Natural hazards in GIS (by Videos)

How to produce prediction maps of Natural hazards in GIS (by Videos) Landslides bury Malaysian orphanage, killing at least 16 , May 2011 Introduction Natural hazards assessment is generally performed by summing up two main independent components: the spatial and temporal probability of the occurrence of the triggering conditions, like in landslides  ( Guzzetti et al., 2005 ) .  Many studies have been conducted to address the relationship between these two components in many areas. Literature reviews address the challenges faced by scientists, planners, and land developers in the application and development of these probabilities. These reviews also highlight the uncertainties involved in data acquisition and preparation as well as in model selection and calibration techniques. Although few studies investigated the susceptibility analysis of prone areas using statistical and data mining approaches with promising prediction accuracy. But, there was a massive ignor
