Abstract
When it comes to disaster applications; space applications are the most efficient resources for rescue and relief. It is highly important to utilize these sophisticated applications during the time of emergencies, for effective operations, especially when the region is cut off from the world physically. Recently, South Asia witnessed two major events when space applications were been used for quick disaster response in India (2013) and Nepal (2015). However, the impletion also triggered issues due to lack of effective communications between the data providers and end users. In today's time, there is a serious need for bridging the gap between data providers and end users for sustainable and sensible usage of space applications during disaster relief. This paper contains strategic recommendations emphasizing smooth operations between the operative teams for the effective and efficient disaster response.
