摘要: This article examines the nature of freely available geospatial software and information systems in context disaster management. The use data is crucial to effective management, from preparedness response recovery. However, make efficient – before, during after a reliable required. applications examined this paper range Geographical Information Systems, processing remotely sensed images, crowd-source mapping, web content management systems. Trends challenges are considered, guidelines given, foster encourage provision by Freeware Open Source Software. Free geoinformatics can help optimize limited financial, technological manpower resources that many organisations face, providing sustainable input analytical activities.
