Classifications, Management and Aerospace Methods for Natural Hazards Studies

Abstract

The last year s world hazardous events (tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, etc.), generated a lot of
discussions about the effectiveness of the space research technologies. The introduction of the high
technologies in the everyday practice, fast communication systems and recent hardware and software,
allows considering that early warning systems can play an important role in the population protection and
safety. The concept of the destructive potential is introduced and several classifications about the different
natural hazards and their possible negative influences are constructed.
