“…They should be able to operate and communicate in a unique interoperable system in order to address a performance improvement. The technologies that constitute the present information systems that have largely investigated are:geographical information system (GIS).relational data base management system (RDBMS);analysis techniques; andreal‐time communication systems.Less investigated technologies are:satellites;ground sensors; andspecific decision support system (DSS).The GIS has been largely studied during the last years in order to design more performing configurations or to extend the running implementations to other environments (Guarnieri and Wybo, 1995; Hite, 2003; Kaiser et al , 2003; Jaber et al , 2001; Mansor et al , 2004; Dai et al , 2002; Kaiser et al , 2003; Heino and Kakko, 1998). Generally, the attempts to design the aforementioned system begin from a GIS analysis because it is the most comprehensive technology and it provides a relevant support to collection, assessment and communication of the available information.…”

PurposeThe paper aims to discuss a systematic review of the literature about disaster management within the period 1980‐2006.Design/methodology/approachThe research protocol is based on the methodology that is commonly used in healthcare for analysing the literature and provides a state‐of‐art medical discipline. The paper presents both a descriptive analysis and a thematic analysis in order to provide a state‐of‐art of international literature. The research protocol is provided in order to make transparent the review process.FindingsThe descriptive analysis highlights the peculiarities of the literature in terms of attention paid during the years, country of provenience and clusters of content of the selected papers. The thematic analysis deepens the content of the papers formalising the state of art.Research limitations/implicationsThe review considered only academic journals and peer‐reviewed published papers, excluding working papers and books.Practical implicationsThrough both the analyses the authors argue for scholars in disaster management specific streams for further research and for providing practitioners with a state of art of disaster management discipline.Originality/valueThe paper is original and is aimed at translating to the disaster management discipline the methodology of the systematic review commonly used in healthcare disciplines.

“…For example, Heino and Kakko (1998) integrated GIS, environmental monitoring, accident simulation, and communications systems to develop 'Membrain', a system intended to support management operations for pollution emergencies. Fedra and Winkelbauer (2002) incorporated GIS, an expert system, and mathematical models to manage environmental accident risks.…”

Effective response and preparedness plans are important for successfully coping with environmental emergencies. 'Quickness' and 'accuracy' are the most important requirements of environmental emergency response and preparedness planning. We propose the use of case-based reasoning (CBR) technology to develop response and preparedness plans using these principles. Taking into account the characteristics of a real environmental emergency, the development is presented using the example of a CBR -Oil Spill Response and Preparedness System. This paper introduces the methodology, which includes system architecture, inputs and outputs, case structure, case retrieval, case adaptation, case evaluation and retention, and management of the case base. The following methods are presented to meet the requirements of environmental emergency response and preparedness planning: the Frame method for defining case representation; the modified Heterogeneous Euclidean-Overlap Metric method for defining the similarity function; and the Attribute Hierarchical Model method for assigning relative weights to attributes. The effectiveness and uncertainty of the methodology are also discussed.

“…In the area of emergency management, planning and training risk assessment calculation form the basis for decision making. When the calculation are linked to geographical information, it is much easier to rescue people who are under the risk (Heino and Kakko, 1998).…”

Flood disasters cause massive loss of human lives and immense damage to the infrastructure and economic activities, not only in Turkey but also all over the world. Governments consider several long-term and short-term precautions for flood control. The numerical simulation of dam-break problems could be accomplished with geographic information systems and innovation maps. Spread of the flood wave after a dam break can be predicted using these enabling technologies. This kind of advanced modelling technology is becoming an inevitable tool for the decision-making process. Data produced by GIS are used as initial values for FLDWAV. ArcView GIS has been used to produce a Digital Elevation Model and visualization of dam-break effects and propagation of a possible flood wave. Using GIS techniques and hydrologic modelling software, possible effects and damage of a dam-break flood have been investigated and results were simulated to show significant dam break effects on the region.
