| Abstract | Early Warning Systems (EWS) provide an effective measure for better disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation. The effectiveness of EWS depends highly on the ability to distribute alert message to the persons that will be affected. In this context mobile devices play already a vital role in the ability to reach people in time and at the endangered location. Most existing approaches focus on mass dissemination methods via SMS and Cell-Broadcasting. As these approaches are effective to inform masses about a disaster with one message for all they have their weaknesses in telling the people how to respond according to their location and provide individual guidance (e.g. by maps) within specific communities. Research in disaster management gives strong evidence that the later is often crucial for better disaster response. Accordingly, we witness an increasing demand for more community-centered warnings systems solutions. This paper introduces the general foundations and architecture for alert services on mobile devices that adapt incoming alert information to the profile and situation of user groups and even individual users. The approach is scalable for different communitycentered warning systems. Its first applicability and community engagement effects are shown in the example of the community-centered public disaster alert system in Germany and a target group specific weather hazard alert system, KATWARN and WIND with currently over 2.5 million subscribed users, which was developed by the authors. | ||||

| Title | On the assessment of disaster management strategies | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2014 | Publication | ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal |
ISCRAM 2014 |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 215-219 | ||
| Keywords | Artificial intelligence; Decision support systems; Disaster prevention; Information systems; Case based reasoning systems; Decision makers; Disaster management; Disasters | ||||
| Abstract | Decision support systems can recommend strategies for disaster management, which can be further discussed by decision-makers. To provide rationales for the recommendations, the strategies need to be assessed according to relevant criteria. If several strategies are available, the criteria can be used for ranking the strategies. This paper addresses the issue concerning the choice of suitable criteria from several perspectives. The assessment integrates concepts on robustness, experience with regard to the implementation of a strategy, quantifiable ratios which can be deduced from simulations, and system-specific parameters. Objectives are to facilitate transparency with respect to the assessments, to provide a basis for discussions concerning the strategies, and to preserve adaptability and flexibility to account for the variability of disasters and users' preferences. The assessment should be used for ranking solutions gained from a case-based reasoning system and to reveal contributions of criteria values to the overall assessment. | ||||

| Abstract | Emergency situations are unavoidable. This paper presents the functions inherent in a prototype system that was developed in Malaysia for emergency management. The prototype is potentially useful in Selangor, a state in Malaysia that is prone to natural disasters such as flash floods and landslides. The paper is presented as a report of our on-going project in Malaysia and the intended future work regarding web-based emergency management systems in Malaysia. This prototype development is funded by the Ministry of Education in Malaysia and supported by the National Security Council of Malaysia (Majilis Keselamatan Negara, MKN). | ||||

| Title | Emergency preparedness in the European union | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2014 | Publication | ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal |

| Keywords | Disaster prevention; Disasters; Information systems; Laws and legislation; Risk management; Strategic planning; Disaster management; Emergency management; Emergency preparedness; European union; Foresight; Incremental changes; Institutional development; Sampling strategies; Civil defense | ||||
| Abstract | European Union is an important global actor – in terms of economy, welfare and soft security – but its institutional development and ambitions has to consider both the issues of grand challenges, resilience, disaster management, in accordance with its citizens' will and skills. The Lisbon Treaty as well as the recent legislation on civil protection produced incremental change and improved the Emergency Management. However, there are not studies to check how the new institutions, the knowledge flows or decisions work. The final goal of this short paper is to structure an inquiring system and design a research project on assessing the civil protection policy in the EU through a Delphi study with experts and practitioners. While the first part frames the issues the second part will design the methodology and sampling strategy for a Delphi technique. | ||||

| Title | Identifying potential landslide location using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) | Type | Conference Article | ||
| Year | 2019 | Publication | Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management | Abbreviated Journal |

| Keywords | Susceptibility mapping, disaster prevention, landslides, drones | ||||
| Abstract | The impact of landslides is determined by the previous state of vulnerability and susceptibility present in a community. Vulnerability is related to physical aspects and susceptibility is defined as the propensity or tendency of an area to be affected by the occurrence of a given hazard. Knowledge of geography allows us to characterize and measure some of these factors. For example, in landslides called huaicos in Peru, these are related to the existence of a slope and soil type of the hills favorable to the loosening of land masses, as well as the increase in rainfall and the presence of streams. The use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly called drones) for the identification of susceptibility zones is presented in this paper. The result is positive for using the georeferenced data to identify potential landslide flow using as unique criterion surface slopes. |
