Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Several types of disasters are increasing in frequency and severity in the modern world, with significant impacts on human lives and the economy. Disaster management planning is structured around the disaster management cycle model with four stages, namely, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Technological developments in the fields of IoT, edge computing, digital twins, machine learning, computer vision, embedded systems, emergency communications, and integrated sensors and platforms, can play a significant role in hazard monitoring, forecasting and prediction, disaster risk assessment, communication and preparedness activities, systems, and processes which enable individuals, communities, governments, businesses, and others to take timely action to reduce disaster risks in advance of hazardous events. This topic invites the submission of manuscripts that present both research in both academia and industry associated with disaster and crisis management applications.
