Disaster management is generally understood to consist of four
phases: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. While
these phases are all important and interrelated, response and
recovery are often considered to be the most critical in terms of
saving lives. Response is the acute phase occurring after the
event, and includes all arrangements to remove detriments and a
long-term inventory of supplies to deal with irreversible damage.
The timely provision of geospatial information is crucial in the
decision-making process, and can save lives and rescue citizens.
The aim of this volume is to share technological advances that
allow wider, faster and more effective utilization of geospatial
information in emergency response situations. The volume describes
current accomplishments and challenges in providing geospatial
information with these attributes, and is organized in six parts: -
Practice and legislation, with a focus on the utilization of
geospatial information in recent disaster events, as well as
resulting legislative attempts to share and access data. - Data
collection and data products. - Data management and routing in 3D.
- Emerging technologies, including positioning, virtual reality and
simulation models. - Integration of heterogeneous data. -
Applications and solutions. This volume is aimed at researchers,
practitioners and students who work in the variety of disciplines
related to geospatial information technology for emergency
response, and represents the very best of current thinking from a
number of pioneering studies over the past four years.
