Importance of Geo-ICT in managing risk and disaster is out of question and such systems are exhaustively use before, during and after the occurrence of a disaster [4]. Computing devices and applications are used now not only for desktop environment, but also for diverse environments like web, server-client, etc and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating [5].

By emerging truly ubiquitous computing, enabled by the availability of mobile, various devices that contribute context information is currently hampered due to non-availability of programming support for the design and development of context-aware applications and hence new proposed framework allows the developers to fuse data from unlike sensors with ease and without writing of complex codes[5].

Combining and integrating diverse technologies provides more effectiveness than each of them alone can provide [6]. During disaster response one big challenge is efficient collaboration and task management in fast changing environment and this may further provoked by the availability of data explosion such as large scale disaster, as incidents may get lost and/or delayed in large amount of data. Well-informed decisions and their assessment are imperative to monitor their effectiveness

    When a disaster occurs the federal, state, and local governments contact the military for help and support due to the their advantages attached to military operations and response which could benefit in them in manpower with specific qualifications, skills and expertise, strategic and rapid mobilization, updated technology and a variety of equipment (helicopters, aircraft, earth-moving machinery, respirators, medical supplies, power and lighting equipment, under-water capability, etc.) that most emergency organizations are unable to acquire on a moment notice (Kapucu, 2011). Besides, the military’s bureaucratic structure with hierarchical rules in place are effective in command, coordination, and control of manpower, authority, and regulations, is beneficial in providing effective response actions during the time of emergency (Anderson 1970; Schrader 1993; Sylves 2008; US House of Representatives 2006) (Kapucu, 2011). This advantage cut time in half because the structure is already set up without questioning who is doing what or who is in charge. Additionally, the military supports in sheltering the homeless, the construction of temporary housing and restoration of minimal critical infrastructure (water, electric, sanitation, communication infrastructure, etc.), (Miskel 2006; Schrader 1993), (Kapucu, 2011).

    People could let first responders know of any dangerous or minor situation. An example would be someone being shot in an active shot out. If the ambulance were to ever respond first they would know not to go in the area until there is a cease fire, or the police come in to handle the situation. The knowledge of what is going on prevents injury or death of the first responders. This would go for any first responder so they could be well equipped for the situation.

    967 Words  | 4 Pages

    Emergency management describes the process of preparing for disasters, responding to their occurrence and putting in place both structural and nonstructural measures to mitigate against them. Emergency management has come a long way in terms of evolution in the United States of America. In terms of evolution, there have been a number of changes with evidence in shift from state to federal and local involvement in disaster management. This paper will thus discuss the evolution of emergency management as well as the lessons that have come as a result of this evolution. The evolution can be traced back to the biblical times, Moses himself tried to manage floods by splitting the Red Sea (George et al, p. 1).
