The particular geographic location and geological features make Taiwan a country that is often under threats of earthquakes, typhoons, torrential rains. These natural disasters thereafter cause landslides and debris flows on mountainous areas and put the safety of nearby villages in great danger. To integrate and apply all kinds of GIS information related to disaster prevention and rescue and share them to the government and the public, this study establishes a GIS system that concerning the management of slope hazards. Based on the open source of Google Earth API, this study builds 'Multi-Stage Remote Sensing GIS System' which integrates Formosat-2 satellite imagery, UAV images and panorama images. Through several pressure tests, this system is able to provide stable service via the cloud platform. Launched in 2010, it has been through 2 earthquakes, 10 typhoons and 8 torrential rains. In this article, 4 actual cases will be delineated on the role that this system plays on managing slope hazards, encouraging participation of the public, sharing disaster prevention information, and assisting the government on policy making.
