Hazard Mapping
Hazard Mapping : The process of establishing geographically where and to what extent particular phenomena are likely to pose a threat to people, property, infrastructure, and economic activities. Hazard mapping represents the result of hazard assessment on a map, showing the frequency/probability of occurrences of various magnitudes or duration. Hazard mapping comprises the cartographic depiction of possible future events accompanied by qualitative and quantitative analysis; it is not only the mapping of past events.
