EM-GIS 2015 workshop report: the first ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on the Use of GIS in Emergency Management (Seattle, Washington, USA - November 3, 2015)

Abstract

Emergency management aims to develop strategies and establish operations to decrease the potential impact of unexpected events (i.e., human or natural disasters). By quick response and rescue, it saves human lives from the secondary disasters and enhances the stability of communities after disasters. Emergency management requires lots of new geospatial technologies to support the quick response and recovery and the integrating of location-based wireless information streams. With the advances of GIS technologies, the improvement of the emergency management research becomes possible.
