IT in Disaster Risk Reduction (ITDRR)
International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP)
Session 157
Situation Awareness at Disaster
Due to the global environmental changes, we have had many and different types of natural disasters recently, such as flood, wildfire, earthquake, tornados, volcano eruption and tsunami. This year, our workshop shall look into the aspect of situation awareness at disaster. In the recent volcanic eruption under the sea in Tonga, it was hard to get the initial situations due to the loss of communication links. Moreover, due to COVID-19 threats, support from outside the country needed a great care.
We have three panelists from IFIP WG5.15 as well as from ISCRAM (the Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management) community, Frederick Benaben, Hans Jochen Scholl and Jaziar Radianti shall discuss situation awareness in their contexts.

Disasters are considered in Action Lines C2 and C10, however, all the Action Lines could have disaster issues as well.
C1. Disaster management is one of the important risk management issues at governments as well as all stakeholders in the promotion of ICTs for development
C2. The availability of information and communication infrastructure is important for disaster resposne.
C3. Access to information and knowledge is important for situation awareness at disaster.
C4. Capacity building is needed for preparation and mitigation for disaster.
C5. Building confidence and security in use of ICTs for disaster communications including privacy issues.
C6. Enabling environment is closeley related to natural disaster.
C7. Disaster management required all the relevant ICT applications: benefits in all aspects of life — E-government, E-business, E-learning, E-health, E-employment, E-environment, E-agriculture and E-science.
C8. Cultural diversity and identity, linguistic diversity and local content: Disaster information should be shared by every citizen in the world for future preparedness and mutual support.
C9. Media is important once disaster happens to inform people of the current situations.
C10. Ethical dimensions of the Information Society: Ethical issues are important at disaster not to spread biased misinformation.
C11. International and regional cooperation is essential once a catastrophe occurs.
