In this article, we propose and evaluate a Mega Disaster Crisis Management System consisting of the Disaster Information Registration System and the Disaster Information Sharing System. The former categorizes various disaster information on real time reported from residents and the disaster related institutions. This registration system processes a flood of disaster information rapidly. The lat...

Since 1957, when the first man made satellite opened the space age of human history, satellite earth observation has been taking advantage of high altitude to look at the globe and have applications in the areas of weather forecasting, oceanography, land survey and resource discovery, environmental and disaster monitoring, as well as applications in the area of defence. The observational freque...

We construct and evaluate an integrated disaster information cloud system at the time of mega disaster. The integrated disaster information cloud system comprises the disaster information input function, disaster information output function, disaster information transmit function, department management function, and past disaster management function. In this article, we described the disaster i...

Environmental disasters cause deaths, injuries, and destruction of familiar surroundings. Social networks and routines that structure daily life are often left in disarray. To surmount subsequent crises, survwors must master painful feelings, solve problems, and accomplish important tasks, even while they are confused, bereaved, and displaced. Otherwise, coping failure leads to a vicious spzral...

Microdrones are small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying payloads such as cameras and sensors. Such microdrones enable us to obtain a bird’s eye view of the environment which is helpful in many applications such as environmental monitoring, surveillance or disaster management. This position paper reports on our recently launched project “collaborative microdrones” where we are devel...

This article examines health concerns identified by Latinos who resided in the path of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi. Data were collected for this qualitative descriptive study through individual, open-ended interviews with 93 Latino survivors and evacuees in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia.
