Conference Information
Natural disasters, pandemic such as COVID-19 that turn a disease into global crisis are evidence that the timing, the length, the severity and the impacts of disaster often beyond human´s imagination. Scientists, decision makers, practitioners and communities realize that disasters are complex and unpredictable.
The role of information technology (IT) in disaster situations is becoming more important than ever in this recent years, especially to mitigate and reduce the risks associated with the disaster effects. Today, information and communication technologies develop rapidly, offering numerous capabilities that were unimaginable before. During the pandemic, nations had to work rapidly to employ every mean (technology and otherwise) possible to acquire critical information to achieve a common understanding and situational awareness among the various stakeholders involved in responding to the crisis, and to save the life and properties. Modern information and communication technologies can facilitate significantly the decision-making processes from the point of view of disaster risk reduction.
Disaster risk reductions require multidisciplinary efforts. People from various backgrounds, such as industry, diverse geographical and global settings, non-profit organization backgrounds, agriculture, marine life, welfare, risk management, emergency management, safety engineering and social networking services are examples to name few. At present, at global and national levels, a wide range of scientific research activities, not only applied research but also theoretical and methodological development and scientific-applied research activity in the area of disaster risk reduction concerning individual types of disasters are vast developed research area.

The conference is especially focused on the various IT aspects , emerging technologies and challenges of copying with disaster risk reduction.
