Developed countries like United States, Canada, Japan, European Countries and New Zealand have been using advanced technologies and tools for mapping hazards. However, in India, effective and efficient use of these tools and technologies has been a challenge. Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Ground Probing System (GPS) considered very important tools for mapping of hazards. GIS helps in effective storing, updating, accessing, map developing and sharing of information. It can thus act as a risk assessment tool for providing necessary information for planning, zoning and decision making (lidija & Ivan, 2009). Mitigation strategies can be planned for any disaster using the information available and map formulated in GIS. For developing hazard maps, spatial information together with community based local knowledge is very important. The present research paper focuses on the practices adopted in countries like States, Canada, Japan, European Countries and New Zealand for multi-storeyed buildings for multiple hazards simultaneously. Comparision has also been made with procedures adopted in India for mapping hazards by studying relevant code for hazards.
