Subject: GIS and Natural Hazards
> I am currently developing a Geographic Information System to provide
> assistance in the prediction of forest fire outbreaks, as part of a
> MSc Computation thesis undertaken at UMIST, England. I would welcome
> any details of experiences of such systems or of dealing with forest
> fires in general.
> In addition does anyone on the mailing list know of any bodies or
> organisations which utilise GISs to help cope with the effects of
> natural hazards? I am very interested in working on such projects
> after completion of my degree, and would like to know how to move
> into this field, as either paid or voluntary work.
> With thanks,
