Kopi Talk Singapore should conduct and study geologic hazards in Philippine

Philippines, has one of the world's longest coastlines and archipelago that will prone to geological hazards such as landslides, floods, and tsunamis. As such Singapore should send a team to study the geologic effects of climate change that have affected the destructive capacity and frequency of natural events. Singapore could leverage on technology by making use of the country advanced IT environment, maybe provide  live broadcasting from the camera over the internet to the classroom in Singapore, this is the best way to monitor the action live.  LandSat and Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) radar images to identify features that could indicate hazardeous areas or impending physical events. Once finished, the digital version of the Geohazard Maps will be similar to the satellite imagery provided by the NASA.
That defintely more interesting than textbook. Weather and climate changes do affect people's lives, including landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions,typhoon,and earthquakes that affect farming activities.
