| Popis: |
This chapter introduces new and emerging technologies that have proven effective in disaster management or show promise in future deployments. These technologies are discussed in the context of the four major phases of disaster management: preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. Examples of some technologies discussed in detail include real-time hazard warning or monitoring systems; advanced loss estimation methodologies and tools; remote sensing for response and recovery; and field data collection and visualization systems, especially those that are GIS and/or GPS-based. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of research or implementation issues, focusing specifically on the above technologies, and including issues related to real-time event monitoring; privacy protection; and information sharing and trust management. |
