18 INTEGRATION SPACE TECHNOLOGY WITH DISASTER MANAGEMENT Improve rainfall estimation techniques Lower the cost of remotely sensed data Real-time access to remotely sensed data

19 CONCLUDING REMARKS The use of space systems, meteorological satellites in particular, has been found to be indispensable for cyclone monitoring and warning in the Philippines. The use remotely sensed data to monitoring of floods and other related disasters would improve warnings and would help in disaster mitigation and preparedness program of the government.
