When planning and preparing for disaster scenarios such as earthquakes, floods or epidemics, it is essential to provide a shared view of the effects on a wide variety of aspects. Depending on the scenario, this may for example include the affected general population as well as public infrastructure, private service providers, storage and processing facilities of hazardous materials.

Such information may come from a wide variety of sources, such as government institutions or private service providers.

This project researches concepts and technologies that shall facilitate the communication, collection and processing of this information, especially in a geospatial context. Two of the key requirements are an open design that can accommodate a large variety of data with a straightforward workflow for integration within the system, and a shared workspace for all participating agencies.
