Damage to communications infrastructure, along with other communications problems exacerbated the difficulties in carrying out response and recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina. To assist government planning in this area, the Congress, in the E-government Act of 2002, directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to request the NRC to conduct a study on the application of IT to disaster management. This report characterizes disaster management providing a framework for considering the range and nature of information and communication needs; presents a vision of the potential for IT to improve disaster management; provides an analysis of structural, organizational, and other non-technical barriers to the acquisition, adoption, and effective use of IT in disaster; and offers an outline of a research program aimed at strengthening IT-enabled capabilities for disaster management. 606 $aEmergency management 606 $aDisaster relief 606 $aInformation technology 615 0$aEmergency management. 615 0$aDisaster relief. 615 0$aInformation technology. 676 $a363.34/8068 701 $aRao$b Ramesh Ragothama$01808616 701 $aEisenberg$b Jon$01804693 701 $aSchmitt$b Ted$01808617 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960145703321 996 $aImproving disaster management$94358962 997 $aUNINA
