Abstract

Coastal areas are known for its resources as well as vulnerabilities. If properly managed, these areas become economic, development, and recreation hubs. All the major global frameworks of development, disaster, and climate change have relevance to coastal areas. For an effective disaster management in the coastal areas, there needs to be a combination of predisaster planning and preparedness issues, as well as during and postdisaster activities. In the global era of technology, the new and emerging technologies have strong role of play in the management of coastal resources.
