Aerial Photography supports the outright avoidance of adverse impacts of hazards and related disasters. They also help the systematic efforts to analyse and manage the causal factors of disasters. For instance, an Aerial Photograph can help – from a general perspective – to analyse the risks, to plan and implement the changes needed such as prevention of landslides, overflowing rivers during heavy rainfall periods, wildfires during heat waves periods.

The main goal is to increase the availability of Aerial Photographs, which would enhance the visualisation of goals and specific objectives within Disaster Risk Reduction plans and therefore enforce Disaster Risk Management.
