• C. Social media
• D. Notes

Hint:

ICT tools in disaster management include GIS, remote sensing, cloud computing, big data, mobile communication, and social media. Notes are not considered an ICT tool.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: ICT means Information and Communication Technology. In disaster studies, ICT tools help in communication, mapping, early warning, data storage, analysis, and coordination.

Step 1: Understanding ICT tools.
ICT tools are technology-based tools used for collecting, processing, sharing, and analysing information. \[ \text{ICT} = \text{Information + Communication + Technology} \]

Step 2: Checking the options.
GIS is used for mapping hazard zones and vulnerable areas.
Big data and cloud help in storing and analysing large disaster-related datasets.
Social media helps in communication, alerts, rescue information, and public awareness.

Step 3: Identifying the option which is not an ICT tool.
Notes are not a specific ICT tool. Notes may be used for writing information, but they are not a technological system like GIS, cloud, or social media. Therefore, the correct answer is Notes.
