Based on the characteristics of Remote Sensing techniques

it is discussed in detail that these techniques play a very important role in natural hazard mitigation activities

such as early warning

real time monitoring

quick assessing and decision making. After briefly reviewing the current status on Remote Sensing of natural hazard

some tentative ideas are presented. Author firmly believes that it is a main and very emergency task to develop an operational remote Sensing technologcial system for monitoring and assessing of natural hazards in China. The System will consist of （1） Satellite Remote Sensing monitoring system; （2） Airborne Remote Sensing monitoring system with all-weather

real-time and flexible capabilities; （3） Ground based monitoring system; （4） Natural hazards and their backgroud data base system; （5） Hazard analysis

assessment and decision making support system and （6） Communication and command system for natural hazard mitigation.
