Conclusions
• Mobilizing disaster content from source to use involves the environment, events, organizations, knowledge, the economy, and society
• Information systems must acquire, transfer and process reliable and timely content through diverse channels, networks, and markets.
• Decision support systems depend on how well:– Process models represent situations– Management models relate to actions– Socioeconomic models are relevant to outcomes
