While these phases are all important and interrelated, response and recovery are often considered to be the most critical in terms of saving lives. Response is the acute phase occurring after the event, and includes all arrangements to remove detriments and a long-term inventory of supplies to deal with irreversible damage. The timely provision of geospatial information is crucial in the decision-making process, and can save lives and rescue citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this volume is to share technological advances that allow wider, faster, and more effective utilisation of geospatial information in emergency response situations. The volume describes current accomplishments and challenges in providing geospatial information with these attributes, and is organised in six parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePractice and legislation\u003c\/em\u003e, with a focus on the utilisation of geospatial information in recent disaster events, as well as resulting legislative attempts to share and access data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eData collection and data products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eData management and routing in 3D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmerging technologies, including positioning, virtual reality, and simulation models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegration of heterogeneous data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications and solutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is aimed at researchers, practitioners, and students who work in the variety of disciplines related to geospatial information technology for emergency response, and represents the very best of current thinking from a number of pioneering studies over the past four years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605944647916,"sku":"9780367387792","price":156.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780367387792-geospatial-information-technology-for-emergency-response.jpg?v=1778142284","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/geospatial-information-technology-for-emergency-response-9780367387792","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
