Due to the vast dimensions of losses and casualties caused byearthquakes in urban areas and needs for immediate action during crisis,make the manipulating remote sensing technique necessary to identifydamaged houses and crisis management. This research compared techniquesby using remote sensing techniques, such as qualitative assessment ofdamage (visual interpretation) and quantitative estimates of losses (changesdetection, band subtraction, spectral reflectance profile analysis) with casestudy of Bam earthquake. The visual interpretation method showed thatamong all studied buildings, 47% were completely destroyed, 30% partiallydestroyed, and 23% remained intact.
