Abstract

An increasing number of multiple types of disasters challenge the current role of Disaster Management (DM) support systems regarding the interventions at the different phases of the DM cycle. Disaster Management is known for the heterogeneity of domain’s concepts, the kind of resources deployed for disaster response, and the complexity of the information shared among the several organizations participating in a catastrophe scenario. The goal of this work is to envision what seems to be the next evolution of DM support systems towards a better decision-making support along the disasters’ management cycle, specifically, concerning the integration of the several available distributed data sources using ontologies and Linked Open Data as tools.
