Disaster management projects are inseparable for the sustainable development of a any nation. GIS is a powerful tool for such projects. A well-designed disaster mitigation and preparedness programme is certainly a very effective tool in reducing the effects from an earthquake disaster. This study is for the Seismic Microzonation of Coimbatore district. "How to develop a Seismic Microzonation map?" The main objective of this study is to develop the Seismic Microzonation map. Seismic Microzonation falls into the category of Applied research . Very preliminary process of reducing the effects of earthquake is by assessing the hazard itself.
