Abstract:
Myanmar is exposed to almost all types of natural hazards. Drought is a slow onset hazard type. The central dry zone in Myanmar is the most vulnerable area of the country from drought. The frequency and severity of drought are getting increased year after year because of global warming and climate change. This paper examines the relationship between rainfall and NDVI from 2015 to 2019 by using Google Earth Engine (GEE) to observe the meteorological drought in the past which is useful for identifying the drought response action plans and tries to predict the meteorological drought in the future by using long short-term memory algorithm.
