| Description | Geography and cartography can support objective disaster decision making efficiently. Geography provides the decision making procedures with adequate knowledge, cartography gives to the accessible geodata the adequate visual form. Examples of social and nature risk maps are presented here. The nature can operate as: 1) target of human made/accelerated damaging processes, 2) damaging process catalyst, 3) danger for humans. Perspectives of future risk mapping are given as well. |
