Properly addressing a crisis requires more than just guesswork and
a reaction; it requires a properly structured approach supported by
good information. With the rapid evolution of information systems
and information technology, including hardware, software, the
internet, and communications capabilities, there are abundant
opportunities to apply these technology capabilities and resources
to support and improve responses to and management of crisis
situations. Approaches to crisis response and management include
the design, development, implementation, and application of
systematic methodologies on how to respond, as well as how to apply
information systems to enhance and extend responses to crises.
Information Technology Applications for Crisis Response and
Management provides a multi-disciplinary perspective on current and
cutting-edge research exploring and extending our understanding of
the use of information systems and information technology to
support responses to crises of all kindsOCoeaccidental,
intentional, and acts of nature. The chapters in this book focus on
the design, development, implementation, use, and evaluation of
information system technologies and methodologies to support crisis
response and management, as well as technology management-related
issues for crisis response and management. While highlighting
technical, cognitive, organizational, and human-focused issues
within the field, this book is ideal for policymakers, IT
specialists, government officials, crisis response teams, managers,
practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested
in the use of information technology and information systems to
