This book provides the most current and comprehensive overview
available today of the critical role of information systems in
emergency response and preparedness. It includes contributions from
leading scholars, practitioners, and industry researchers, and
covers all phases of disaster management - mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery. 'Foundational' chapters
provide a design framework and review ethical issues. 'Context'
chapters describe the characteristics of individuals and
organizations in which EMIS are designed and studied. 'Case Study'
chapters include systems for distributed microbiology laboratory
diagnostics to detect possible epidemics or bioterrorism,
humanitarian MIS, and response coordination systems. 'Systems
Design and Technology' chapters cover simulation, geocollaborative
systems, global disaster impact analysis, and environmental risk
analysis. Throughout the book, the editors and contributors give
special emphasis to the importance of assessing the practical
usefulness of new information systems for supporting emergency
preparedness and response, rather than drawing conclusions from a
theoretical understanding of the potential benefits of new
technologies.
