SGER: Cyberinfrastructure Preparedness for Emergency Response and Relief: Learning the lessons from Hurricane Katrina

显然迫切需要规划和发展信息基础设施，以便在紧急情况下提供迅速有效的救济。 在卡特里娜飓风期间，该小组提供了创建“失踪”和“安全”人员合并名单的能力，每天更新。 收集、清理和整理地名的系统和程序是在灾害发生时制定的。 利用这些第一手经验，该团队可以对此类紧急响应应用程序的需求和要求进行仔细分析。 一个有计划和有原则的设计和开发方法将在未来的紧急情况下提供更有效的响应。这些规格包括为救灾工作人员提供的适当系统、实地数据收集系统和可调整的备份系统。 设计和最佳实践将有助于国家为下一次此类紧急情况做好准备。

There is a clear and urgent need to plan and develop information infrastructure to provide fast and effective relief during emergencies. During Katrina, the team provided the capability to create an amalgamated list of "missing" and "safe" people, updated daily. The systems and processes for collecting, cleansing and collating names were developed as the disaster was unfolding. Leveraging this first-hand experience permits the team to do a careful analysis of the needs and requirements of such an emergency response application. A planned and principled approach to the design and develop will provide an even more effect response in future emergencies. The specifications include appropriate systems for relief workers, field data collection systems, and adaptable backup system. The design and best practices will help the nation be ready for the next such emergency.
