All governorates:
The system has been developed in order to structure and save all data related to disaster
management available in the database server and link it to governorates maps
of scale 1/50000.
The system was distributed to all governorates accompanied with training programmes for
Using the system and supplying some equipments for emergency rooms.
Technical Support:
B. Develop GIS for disaster management
at the local level (Damascus City) :
Develop GIS for disaster management at the local level (Damascus City):
The system includes a detailed map representing all areas, streets, avenues, and buildings
