Remote Sensing Technology for Tsunami Disaster Along the Andaman Sea, Thailand

December 2004 Tsunami disaster is natural disasters which is caused by purely natural phenomena and bring damage in huge scale to 6 provinces along the Andaman Sea, southern of Thailand namely Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang, and Satun. The information gathering and applying geo-informatics technology have been used in phases of mitigation and recovery. Such an affected area interpolation can be executed successfully in multi-spatial, multi-temporal and multi-spectral characteristics. An affected and damage area as obtained from the interpolation of high resolution IKONOS and QuickBird are the main information sources. We found that main types of damage are coastalshoreline erosion and damage to constructions such as buildings, roadnetwork, bridges, shorelines, acquacultural cages, fishing vessels, and the environment as well.
