Shelter Management
CEGIS developed a Spatial Decision Support System
for selecting suitable healthcare facilities around the rural
health centers. The project was conducted for NGO
Service delivery Programme (NSDP) of Pathfinder
International and funded by USAID. The software is
unique of its type. It has a built in GIS developed with
Map Objects that can run without licensed GIS software.
CEGIS has a huge collection of remote sensing images,
old maps, and aerial photographs of the country of
various locations and time in the digital format. All these
images are archieved properly for easy and quick access.
LANDSAT TM, SPOT, IRS and IKONOS images
have been used for different applications in various
projects.
CEGIS has developed a unique methodology for flood
extent mapping using RADAR images. Over the last five
years CEGIS has been monitoring flood extent during
monsoon and providing outputs to various government,
non government and donor agencies.
The DSS for Cyclone shelter management is a GIS based
software tool that enables decision makers in both
national and local level to allocate funds and to identify
optimum locations for building shelters. The software was
developed for CARE Bangladesh funded by USAID.
