Workshop on Information Systems for Disaster Response Management (WIS-DRM); San Antonio, Texas; Part 1 Virtual, and Part 2 19-20 June 2023

在数字时代，灾害管理的成功取决于受影响社区内外的利益攸关方正确使用尖端信息技术。然而，信息系统(IS)对灾害相关问题的研究增长缓慢，积累的知识稀缺。灾害管理领域知识的获取使IS学者能够在开展跨学科研究项目时识别机会、挑战和资源。根据他们的经验，PIS提议举办一个新的研讨会，作为一个新兴的论坛，将IS学者与灾害管理专家联系起来。对于IS学者来说，这个研讨会将允许他们在高风险、高回报的想法上更有效地与跨学科团队合作，并建立临界质量。该研讨会还将帮助灾害管理研究人员了解和捕捉IS学科可以揭示的新的可能性和途径。最后，这次研讨会将推动相关调查路线的整合。这次研讨会旨在促进IS和灾害管理领域的合作，并最终导致革命性的发现，这些发现回答了NSF的十大想法、NHERI的科学计划和NWIRP战略计划中阐明的关键研究问题。它将侧重于但不限于以下主题：发现信息系统和灾害管理学术之间的知识差距和错位；在获取、使用和管理信息技术工具方面考虑公平、脆弱性和正义；以及设计网络基础设施以改进危险数据收集和分析。研讨会将欢迎不同的方法，如定性、定量和设计科学，因为它们产生了不同的见解，为灾害管理战略和实践提供信息。研讨会由两部分组成。在第一部分活动中(虚拟进行)，IS学者将向灾害管理从业者和研究人员学习，而在第二部分活动中(将与2023年NHERI夏季研究所合作主办，IS学者对灾害相关研究感兴趣的学者将与灾害管理学者互动，以进一步建立联合研究项目和/或资助提案。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

In the digital era, the success of disaster management hinges on the proper use of cutting-edge information technology (IT) by stakeholders in and beyond the affected communities. However, the growth of Information Systems (IS) research on disaster-related problems is slow and accumulated knowledge is scarce. Acquisition of domain knowledge in disaster management enables IS scholars to identify opportunities, challenges, and resources in conducting interdisciplinary research projects. Drawing on their experience, the PIs propose a new workshop to serve as an emerging forum to connect IS scholars with disaster management experts. For IS scholars, this workshop will allow them to collaborate more effectively with cross-disciplinary teams on high-risk, high-reward ideas and build a critical mass. This workshop will also help disaster management researchers understand and capture new possibilities and pathways that the IS discipline can reveal. Finally, this workshop will fuel the integration of related lines of inquiry. This workshop aims to generate collaborative efforts between IS and disaster management fields and to eventually lead to transformative discoveries that answer the key research questions articulated in the NSF’s 10 Big Ideas, NHERI’s Science Plan, and NWIRP Strategic Plan. It will focus on topics such as but not limited to, the discovery of knowledge gaps and misalignment between IS and disaster management scholarship; consideration of equity, vulnerability, and justice in IT tool access, use, and management; and designing cyberinfrastructure to improve hazard data collection and analysis. The workshop will welcome different methods, such as qualitative, quantitative, and design science, as they yield different insights that inform disaster management strategies and practices. The workshop has two parts. In the Part 1 event (to be conducted virtually), IS scholars will learn from disaster management practitioners and researchers, whereas in the Part 2 event (to be hosted in collaboration with the 2023 NHERI Summer Institute, IS scholars with an interest in disaster-relevant research will interact with disaster management scholars to further build joint research projects and/or grant proposals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
