    Sensor Technologies for Disaster Management Information Systems
    (CERIST, 2013) Benkhelifa, Imane; Nouali-Taboudjemat, Nadia
    In this report, we present different sensor types that can be used to collect data related to disasters and incidents. This data can be: temperature, humidity, vibration, water level, etc. We have chosen to present LIBELIUM products, just as an example to make easier the understanding of the utility of wireless sensors in disaster management. Some general specifications of the sensor card components will be presented first before the different types of connectivity available in the cards. Then, we present in details the different sensors and their applications.

    Towards an IT-Based Platform for Disaster Risks Management in Algeria
    (2013-05) Benssam, Ali; Nouali-Taboudjemat, Nadia; Nouali, Omar
    Disaster management and risk prevention in Algeria have undergone many changes in the recent years. Important efforts have been provided on the legal and organizational sides to set the right conditions for an integrated and collaborative framework for disaster management in the country. The aim is to address the lack of information sharing, coordination and collaboration among the involved organizations. However, although the enhancement of the organizational arrangements, several problems persist mainly related to the implementation of these measures. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose an IT based platform in the field of risks prevention and disaster management (DM). This platform provides decision support, enables information sharing, helps to enhance public awareness regarding risks and disasters, supports communication and dissemination of information and alerts in disaster situations and facilitates the implementation of regulation related to disaster management.
