9706393 这个奖项是为了奖励一个关于信息技术对减灾和管理灾害的影响的研究专题讨论会。 该专题讨论会将审查灾害管理实践中信息技术的现状，并确定通过适当使用和新应用这种技术来改善或提高组织间和管辖区间业绩的可能途径。 专题讨论会的具体目标包括示范一个分布式智能空间信息系统原型应用于一系列模拟的减灾和救灾问题，并拟订一套关于将信息技术纳入减灾和管理实践的行动建议。 研讨会与会者将包括研究人员和从业人员。 ***

9706393 This award is for a research symposium on the impact of information technology on disaster mitigation and management. The symposium will examine the current state of information technology in disaster management practice and identify possible ways to improve or increase interorganizational and interjurisdictional performance through appropriate uses and new applications of such technology. Specific objectives of the symposium include a demonstration of the application of a prototype distributed, intelligent, spatial information system to a set of simulated problems in disaster mitigation and response, and the development of a set of recommendations for action regarding the integration of information technology into disaster mitigation and management practice. Symposium participants will include both researchers and practitioners. ***
