1. DISASTER INFORMATION DISSIMINATION

2. Characteristics of disasters Unexpected Impact on society Many parties involved and… Information is changing continuously Information should be shared on-demand, as-needed to the right people It’s always about where and how many

3. What do you need to manage disasters? Information Resources Communications COHCOH

4. TIME Demand and Supply Adapted from P. Power. 2004 Current situation Desired Situation Response and Demand for information Availability of Information Chaotic phase Consolidation phase After care phase Early warning

5. Disaster Information requirements All stakeholders must have the same situational update Communication must be fast and reliable Abilitiy to visualization, understand and communicate with maps Smart integration of text, voice and maps create unified messages

6. Challenges Situational awareness Real-time Common Operating Picture Sharing data (Large data flows) Collaboration using different networks Support decision making at strategic, tactical and operational levels. Work under extreme conditions (no internet)

7. Succesful response starts with a map Integration of information layers Visualization of objects Incidents Resources Spatial Analysis Simulation of processes Information for decisions Promotes participation and sharing

8. Inter-organizational Cooperation Way of working across organizatons Deploying the right capabilities Sharing information as a network (vs hierarchy) Achieving Faster decision making Less damage, fewer victims Faster to restore to normal situation

9. GIS Capabilities Asset Management Analysis & Planning MobileSharing & collaboration Collect, manage and exchange reliable data Collect and utilize information outside in work processes Transform data to information to implement and make decisions Disseminate and integrate knowledge as- needed Crowd sourcing Contributions fromthe communityvia integrated technologies

10. Part of Safety chain Mitigation PreparationResponseRecoveryEvaluation

11. GIS and net-centric working Sharing of (geographic) information in a net-centric environment leads to: 1. better situational awareness, 2. improved communications 3. better collaboration, ad-hoc, support off-line 4. better synchronisation of actions and, 5. better and faster decision making.

12. 12 Disaster Monitoring Program Architecture Acquisition of RS data. Generation of rapid maps utilizing rapid response mapping tools and performing damage assessment tasks along with centralized data storage and archiving Geo-information services including online interactive maps, web portal, real time data transfer & other related services Provision of services using VPN/dedicated links to the users

18. Draft Web Portal Pre-Disaster (Preparedness) Interactive GIS tool Risk mapping at district level Vulnerability assessment Evacuation plans Safest route identification Post Disaster (Response) Damage assessment Damage Need Analysis Information dissemination
