ALGORITHM FOR ESTIMATING THE PROBABILITY OF NATURAL HAZARDS IN THE VORONEZH REGION ON THE BASIS OF THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

At the present time, there is an intensive development of technologies for monitoring and prediction of natural hazards. These problems are solved effectively in the field of geographic information systems (GIS). In the article the authors developed an algorithm estimating the probability of natural hazards in the Voronezh re- gion on the basis of the use of information technologies. The natural hazards are the important factor of social and ecological well-being of the population in the region. And in this perspective, solution of the problem of assessment of the natural hazards impact on population is needed and important
