“…Call detail records (CDR) of mobile companies can record all the calls during disasters which provide a huge number of data that is real-time and need-based [42]. Disaster management personnel can easily use this big data to make quick decisions for ensuring immediate services to disasteraffected people [11]. Since the size of CDR data is large so big data approaches can take the opportunity to handle it.…”

The adverse effect of climate change is gradually increasing all over the world and developing countries are more sufferer. The potential of big data can be an effective tool to make an appropriate adaptation strategy and enhance the resilience of the people. This study aims to explore the potential of big data for taking proper strategy against climate change effects as well as enhance people's resilience in the face of the adverse effect of climate change. A systematic literature review has been conducted in the last ten years of existing kinds of literature. This study argues that resilience is a process of bounce back to the previous condition after facing any adverse effect. It also focuses on the integrated function of the adaptive, absorptive and transformative capacity of a social unit such as individual, community or state for facing any natural disaster. Big data technologies have the capacity to show the information regarding upcoming issues, current issues and recovery stages of the adverse effect of climate change. The findings of this study will enable policymakers and related stakeholders to take appropriate adaptation strategies for enhancing the resilience of the people of the affected areas. Keywords-Disaster resilience; administrative resilience; community resilience; disaster management; environmental managementAs a new paradigm, a big data approach is considered as the most effective method for taking quick and effective decisions [9]. It can analyze the huge amount of data obtained from various sources such as weather data, social media, electronic and print media, non-governmental organizations, voluntary community organizations, and various social networking sites. Big data provides a big opportunity for communication which can help susceptible community people about an upcoming threat, challenges, risks and disasters [10]. Communication provides a way to communicate with each other before, during and after a disaster to inform the condition to one another and make preparation and also acts as a source of big data [11].

“…The deployment of CS during HE must fulfill some specifications in order to offer and preserve reliable communications services. 13 Generally, the best-known requirements for CS during hard conditions mentioned in the literature and that we can deduce in light of previous case studies are as follows: 13,23,30,36,[65][66][67][68] Robustness and reliability: This is the ability of CS to provide and maintain core functions and services just as it would perform in normal circumstances. To do so, CS must supply basic services in challenging environments and afford quick service restoration.…”

The failure of communications systems may cause catastrophic damage to human life and economic activities as people are unable to communicate with each other in a timely manner and with a convenient quality of service. Therefore, the exchange of information is more than necessary for people in their everyday life or during harsh environments to prevent the death and injury of thousands of individuals. The study of communications systems behavior in harsh environments helps to design or select more resilient technologies that are capable of operating in challenging conditions. This article reviews existing approaches, major causes of failure, and weaknesses of communications systems during extreme events. First, we highlight the importance of communications systems, and then we examine related works, how communication may fail, and the effect of this failure on human life in general and during extreme events response. Furthermore, we study and analyze how communications are used during various stages of extreme events, and we identify the main weaknesses and limitations that communications systems may suffer based on many case studies. To conclude, we identify and discuss relevant attributes, requirements, and recommendations for communications systems to perform with a suitable quality of service during harsh environments and to reduce risks of communication failure in challenging conditions.The failure of CS is widely known to occur in almost all extreme conditions. The breakdown of TI, whether complete or partial, causes inefficiency and delays in emergency relief efforts and response, which leads to loss of life and preventable injuries. 10 Due to increasing dependence upon CS during extreme events, the risk of communication failure is high, despite increasing immunity and protection of these means against disasters, HE and calamities. An extreme event situation with a severely disrupted TI amplifies chaos and uncertainty.

“…Reports by humans, professionals or general public, are another major source for collecting disaster information. From the voice phone in the earlier years to the text descriptions, photos and even videos in recent internetbased platform and social media, disaster information is observed, created and conveyed to the emergency responsible agencies (e.g., CEOC) for action reference (Maryam, Ali, Javaid, &Kamran, 2016). As the modern computer and telecommunication technology revolutionize the distribution of disaster information, to validate whether the overwhelming volume of reported disaster situation is true or not during highpressure emergency response becomes a huge loading to the responsible agencies, especially when malicious news are involved.…”

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> With the increasing threats and damages from the natural and man-made hazards, emergency response has become a critical challenge to the smart management of modern cities. Due to limited human resources, how to correctly and quickly assess the priority of disaster relief operations remains a major issue to the disaster management. While the emergency response team may continuously receive lots of disaster information from various sources, they are required to validate whether the reported situations is real or not. CCTV systems are one of the primary references for visually presenting the status in reality. However, current maps of CCTV are usually presented in 2D, such that the monitored spatial coverage is also restricted to 2D. From a 3D perspective, this paper proposes to integrate the GIS-based urban data and the field of view (FOV) of CCTV for improving the collection, management and decision making during emergency response. As the pressure for making prompt and correct decision is often overwhelming, the key issue is to find the best CCTV as soon as possible. Although the current result is only preliminary, the proposed approach demonstrates the advantages of enabling a “real” 3D spatial illustration about the spatial coverage information of CCTV systems by linking it to the features in the real world. With such standardized metadata for FOV available, further analysis can be readily developed, such as quickly determine if a feature is visible, if a reported disaster situation can be validated, and assess the area not covered by the current CCTV systems. By including the disaster events from the historical database, the proposed approach allows the responsible agencies to assess if the deployment and management of current CCTV systems can provide a satisfactory spatial coverage for the cities in the mitigation phase.</p>
