Description
Natural disasters such as forest fires, earthquakes, floods and heat waves have a tremendous impact on the economy, the environment and the people. Every year, manmade and natural disasters lead to human and property losses and resettlement, the disintegration of infrastructures and degradation of society's resilience. The key role in the efficient management of such a crisis is information and knowledge management. The fusion of heterogeneous information, sensors and data processing is the stepping stone for every system architecture. This paper proposes the use of ontology-based technologies for disaster preparedness, response and recovery to ensure effectiveness. Innovative semantic structures that have been used in relevant EU projects are explored and adapted in the respective framework.
