Under the patronage of the President of the University of Mosul, Waheed Mahmood Al-Ibrahimi<\/span><\/span>, and under the supervision of the Director of the Remote Sensing Center, Assistant Professor Dr. Abdulrahman Ramzi Qubba, the Remote Sensing Center at the University of Mosul, in cooperation with the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Center (JCMC) at the Presidency of the University of Mosul, organized a scientific workshop entitled \u201cDisaster Risk Reduction: Concept and Application\u201d<\/em> on Thursday, 14 May 2026.<\/p>\n

The workshop included a scientific lecture delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Alaa Nabeel Hamdoun, Head of the Disaster Risk Reduction Unit at the Center. In his lecture, he addressed the concept of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) as one of the fundamental pillars of developmental planning and sustainable management, highlighting the major types of natural and human-induced hazards, as well as mechanisms for forecasting such risks and mitigating their impacts prior to their occurrence.<\/p>\n

The workshop also emphasized the importance of employing modern technologies, remote sensing techniques, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in monitoring environmental phenomena, analyzing spatial data, and producing risk maps. These technologies contribute significantly to supporting decision-makers in developing effective response plans aimed at minimizing human, material, and environmental losses, as well as enhancing disaster and crisis management capacities.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the workshop discussed several key themes related to disaster and crisis management, including strengthening institutional preparedness, raising community awareness, and developing spatial databases that facilitate rapid response and coordination among relevant authorities.<\/p>\n

This workshop comes within the framework of the Remote Sensing Center\u2019s efforts to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11, which aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable, in addition to Goal 13, which focuses on taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.<\/p>\n
