Abstract :
It has been proven that InSAR technology has special advantages in the measurement of coseismic displacement and evaluation of earthquake damage. It will provide a powerful vehicle for effective earthquake emergency response. This paper discusses the necessity, feasibility and related scientific-technical issues of satellite remote sensing technology applied in earthquake disaster reduction
