Abstract | This article contributes to identifying the capabilities of Instagram when utilized as a source of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) for disaster management (DM) purposes. The geographic focus of this research is in the Mediterranean area. As case study, the fire event of East Attica 2018, Greece, was chosen. This major fire occurred on the 23rd of July 2018 and caused the death of 100 people, the injury of additional 164 while the total burnt area was about 1275,9ha. It is the deadliest in modern Greece?s history and the second deadliest at a global level, within the 21st century. About 15000 related photos along with the corresponding captions and timestamps were crawled from Instagram. An initial sample of about 1100, was analyzed, by using a certain methodology divided in certain steps, the most important of which include the classification of the information to certain categories, geo-referencing and the creation of graphs and maps that visualize the processed data. |

Title | Sharing Incident and Threat Information for Common Situational Understanding | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2019 | Publication | Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2019 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
Keywords | Common operational picture, situational awareness, collaboration support, geographic information systems, terminology harmonisation | ||||
Abstract | This paper presents the INSITU research project initiated to provide a systematic approach for effective sharing, integration and use of information from different sources, to establish a common operational picture (COP) and shared situational understanding among multiple actors in emergency response. The solution developed will provide an interactive map display, integrating harmonisation of terminology and collaboration support for information sharing and synthesis. The enhanced COP will also support evaluation and learning from exercises and incidents. The project involves close collaboration with emergency management stakeholders in Norway, for requirements analysis, participatory design, and validation of project deliverables. The research will improve information sharing and decision support in emergency operations centres, which will contribute to improve societal resilience through more effective response capability. | ||||

Title | Geographic Information Capacity (GIC) Across International Scales: Comparing Institutional Structures of Germany to the United States | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2018 | Publication | ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2018 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 1153-1155 | ||
Keywords | Geographic information capacity, disaster risk reduction, international scales, comparative analysis | ||||
Abstract | Over the last three decades, the number and severity of natural disasters all across the world has been increasing exponentially (Basher, 2006). This paper intends to consider geographic information capacity (GIC) as it relates to government, government regulated organizations, and international organizations, including the United Nations, and their involvement in disaster risk reduction and management. Specifically, the paper aims to understand similarities and differences and the connection between two governmental disaster management organizations, FEMA in the United States and BBK and THW in Germany. We present a comparative analysis on the two countries in terms of their organizational structures, how their structures affect geographic information capacity and how geographic information capacity is related to disaster risk reduction and disaster response. Future work can make comparisons across more countries, including developing countries, to see what structural changes can be made in government entities to help increase GIC when disaster strikes. | ||||

Title | Hyperlocal Toponym Usage in Storm-Related Social Media | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2020 | Publication | ISCRAM 2020 Conference Proceedings – 17th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2020 |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 849-859 | ||
Keywords | Volunteered Geographic Information, Twitter, Information Behavior, Crisis Informatics, Emergency Management. | ||||
Abstract | Crisis responders need to locate events reported in social media messages that typically lack geographic metadata such as geotags. Toponyms, places names referenced in messages, provide another source of geographic information, however, the availability and granularity of toponyms in crisis social media remain poorly understood. This study examines toponym usage and granularity across six categories of crisis-related information posted on Twitter during a severe storm. Findings show users often include geographic information in messages describing local and remote storm events but do so rarely when discussing other topics, more often use toponyms than geotags when describing local events, and tend to include fine-grained toponyms in reports of infrastructure damage and service disruption and course-grained toponyms in other kinds of storm-related messages. These findings present requirements for hyperlocal geoparsing techniques and suggest that social media monitoring presents more immediate affordances for course-grained damage assessment than fine-grained situational awareness during a crisis. | ||||

Title | A Framework for Landslide Information Management Systems Development | Type | Conference Article | ||
Year | 2021 | Publication | ISCRAM 2021 Conference Proceedings – 18th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management | Abbreviated Journal | Iscram 2021 |

Abstract | Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) integrated with Disaster Information Management Systems (DIMS) has great potential to assist managers and the community in times of emergency. However, there is little research focusing on integrating VGI with DIMS, in addition, there are a lack of use of standards of interoperability and emergency, which can impair interoperability and the quality of the information contained in these systems. This work presents a fully interoperable framework aimed at the construction of DIMS, which integrates official data and VGI through ISO and OGC standards, allowing managers and the community to work with official data and VGI in order to assist managers in decision making. To show the viability of the framework, a case study using data from the risk situation of dams located in the municipality of Barão de Cocais in Brazil was carried out. | ||||
