Provisioning of information and data
Technology substantially infl uences Crises Management in opening new sources of information (e.g. by advanced sensor
systems) and exchanging information in near real-time. However, Crisis Management is regarded as a management process
with decision makers in the centre rather than a technical undertaking. Technology is a factor enabling novel management
approaches and supporting the decision making processes.
As a management process Crisis Management is a tool that applies to diff erent missions (in ESRIF represented by WG1-WG3)
using diff erent technology (represented by WG6-WG8).
It furthermore operates in a specifi c context which is defi ned by WG5 and WG9-WG11, cf. picture 2.
