Session Abstract:

The challenge of disaster management is reducing the harm disasters cause to society, the economy, and the lives of individuals and communities. The tragic events occurring from recent disasters underscore the importance of computing and communications capabilities in disaster management, the interplay between technical and organizational considerations, and the contributions that research and development in these areas could make to future disaster preparedness and response. This presentation intends to discuss the role of IT in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery and offer a "best practices" plan for facilitating this role. Plan to participate in this session through idea sharing and providing examples of how your institution has effectively used IT in disaster planning and management.
