9706393这一奖项是为关于信息技术对减灾和管理的影响的研究讨论会颁发的。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的应用这种技术来改进或提高组织间和管辖间绩效的可能方法。专题讨论会的具体目标包括示范将分布式智能空间信息系统原型应用于减轻灾害和应对方面的一系列模拟问题，并制定一套关于将信息技术纳入减轻灾害和管理实践的行动建议。研讨会的参与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. ***
