Disasters lead to many violent strikes in terms of material, human and humanitarian losses, and destruction of property and infrastructure of the state. The term "emergency management" refers to a diverse range of activities. The primary responsibility for disaster response rests with the government at all levels (Peiris P. S. H. 2020, Opadey. 2021). Disaster management is still limited in Iraq, as long as necessary are in place to warn of these disasters. Therefore, we will use in this prepare the Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) to mitigate disasters effects and focus on sandstorm, landslides also study prediction and prepare the prediction and GIS earthquake of east of Iraq. The Risk management systems are useful and effective tools for disaster management in Iraq and by using database on expected disaster for future. The future is to forecast, reduce damage, and assess the severity of these disasters. This essay will list emergency management initiatives and explain how geographic information systems can be used (GIS) and Remote System (RS) technologies play a critically important role in mitigating disasters.
