ICT for Disaster Management

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can play a vital

role in planning, prevention, preparedness, mitigation and response to

disaster

Use of e-learning for training on disaster management, providing online

access to vital information on disaster preparedness to citizens, relief

and asset management.

Emergency communication for timely relief & response measures.

Integrating Emergency Management - visibility, cooperation, and

Interoperability across all emergency organizations

Integrated emergency management is best achieved through the

creation of a single repository of information for planning, preparation,

response, and recovery

Online missing person search, fund/ management system for donors.

One Approach for all hazards and agencies - similarity can include

early warning, evacuation, resource deployment, and community

recovery

Agencies gain by leveraging cutting-edge technology – through the

harnessing of the power of Big Data, cloud computing, mobile

technology, and Data Analytics to streamline and optimize all

emergency management processes.
