Vulnerable Mapping

Google has unveiled Tree Canopy Lab, a new tool that will help cities keep cool. City areas are prone to trap heat during summers, and Tree Canopy Lab aims to develop an understanding of the tree cover in a city and help its residents plant more trees where they are sparse.

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Thursday suggested conducting a COVID-19 vulnerability mapping of densely populated areas in several districts of Maharashtra for deploying effective containment strategies as the state continues to report maximum deaths and infections.

Union Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday released 'Earthquake Hazard Zoning Maps' to enable quake resistant construction in the country where an estimated 95 per cent of households are vulnerable to earthquakes in different degrees.

Although Google Maps is fast becoming the ultimate authority on navigation, the app is proving vulnerable to mistakes and hackers with results that at times can be catastrophic.

To keep a check on farmer suicides, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today unveiled a project for "vulnerability mapping" of agriculturists in the worst-hit Yavatmal and Osmanabad districts.

Large parts of Europe, West and Central Africa, and South America face the threat of outbreaks of the deadly dengue virus due to climate change and urbanisation, according to the first-ever maps of dengue vulnerability published on Tuesday.
