This book also provides authoritative insights and highlights valuable lessons by distinguished authors, who are leaders in this field. Emergencies are severe, large-scale, non-routine events that disrupt the normal functioning of a community or a society, causing widespread and overwhelming losses and impacts.

Emergency Management is the process of planning and taking actions to minimize the social and physical impact of emergencies and reduces the community’s vulnerability to the consequences of emergencies.

Information exchange before, during and after the disaster periods can greatly reduce the losses caused by the emergency.

This allows people to make better use of the available resources, such as relief materials and medical supplies.

It also provides a channel through which reports on casualties and losses in each affected area, can be delivered expeditiously.

Big Data-Driven Emergency Management refers to applying advanced data collection and analysis technologies to achieve more effective and responsive decision-making during emergencies. Researchers, engineers and computer scientists working in Big Data Emergency Management, who need to deal with large and complex sets of data will want to purchase this book.

Advanced-level students interested in data-driven  emergency/crisis/disaster management will also want to purchase this book as a study guide.
