The vulnerability of population in urban areas, especially in developing countries, under the effects of natural and man-induced hazards, is a major reason for concern. The potential consequences of such hazards require risk management to reduce vulnerability and mitigate disasters. Information on population, required for risk management, has an essential spatial component and, particularly in urban areas, is changing continuously. Access to timely and trustworthy spatial data is an essential element in urban risk management. The tools Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems are most appropriate to play an important role in the risk data collection and information management. The paper will first discuss briefly the multi-discipli...
