Remote sensing monitoring system for post-disaster epidemic research.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 17 Remote sensing monitoring system for post-disaster epidemic research After big disasters tend to have a big epidemic, it is the law of incidence and prevalence of diseases, but also the historical experience [1, 2]. When disaster strikes, outbreaks of infectious diseases caused by disasters, casualties are likely to exceed the casualties caused by the event itself, seriously affecting the efficiency of disaster relief and life, the production recovery. Therefore, the strengthening after the occurrence of major natural disasters, communicable diseases surveillance and control is the source of the disease respond to emergencies of infectious diseases and effective to carry out a comprehensive disaster reduction an important measure. Surveillance refers primarily to the regional environmental conditions on the epidemic disease monitoring and health monitoring of infected persons. At present, post-disaster epidemic monitoring, application of more on-site survey method, more suitable for disease-infected health monitoring and environmental conditions of small-scale monitoring of the epidemic area, but for large-scale monitoring of the epidemic area, application of remote sensing technology is with a time-intensive, relatively low cost, informative and flexible, etc., but also can be epidemic risk monitoring, warning and so on. Based on the outbreak and spread of infectious disease mechanisms, remote-sensing technology in the post-disaster surveillance of its post-disaster surveillance system for outbreaks to do an overview of research. A remote sensing technology in the surveillance of the status quo Abroad in the application of remote sensing technology to monitor the epidemic started earlier in the study. In 1971, the American scholar Cline aviation remote sensing images was first proposed as a tool for epidemiological studies the idea of [3]. Subsequently, the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in coopera
