Abstract

During the crisis management, several organizations coordinate their emergency work based not only on well-defined policies and procedures (product of careful preparation) but also on the outcomes of the decision-making process. Decision-making is a highly complicated process in crisis situations. Good support in decision-making when disaster occurs is of critical importance to react accurately, fast and effectively. Good decision-making helps to control damage, save lives and resources, and reduce unwanted consequences of a crisis. Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is increasingly considered a critical aspect of decision-making in disaster management. This paper presents our concept for an appropriate SDI (open-standard generic platform) assisting in administration, analysis of data to predict development of a crisis event and accordingly advise for changes of plans
