Information sharing is a vital component of unified planning among multiple agencies performing varied tasks and activities toward effective emergency response, which promotes effective coordination. Insufficient information sharing and ineffective coordination among organizations during a disaster response creates a bottleneck in need of urgent resolution to effect preparedness. Building a highly effective emergency management information system would help to solve this problem. Modern information technology processing techniques have produced tools and approaches for information sharing across multiple agencies. However, Chinese and international scholars who study the multi-agency unified response systems of various countries have found that such systems are not in practice. This study took a socio-technical system perspective to analyze the characteristics of emergency response organizations and tasks involved in the response to the 2008 Wenchuan (China) earthquake as a case study. Existing problems and possible causes were analyzed from system and technology perspectives to identify possible resolutions to problems in cross-organizational information sharing and coordination that would improve the quality and speed of information sharing and coordination among multiple agencies. The results suggest a basic theoretical approach for the analysis and design of an open, cross-organizational relief management information system that can efficiently and effectively respond to large-scale disasters.

Effective preparation can help minimize the number of victims and the amount of damage caused by volcanic eruptions, as well as facilitate the recovery of victims’ livelihoods after such disasters. Hence, it is crucial to coordinate and integrate all stakeholders in a management information system in which each stakeholder is interrelated but has different roles and functions. This paper presents the design of a disaster management information system (DMIS) with consideration for the volcano’s location and characteristics. This includes identifying disaster management stakeholders and their respective roles and the volcano’s location and characteristics combined with accessible databases. To validate the design, the results of the DMIS calculations of the needs of refugees from the eruption of Mount Merapi in November 2020 in Kalitengah Lor, Glagaharjo Village, Sleman were compared with the number of real items distributed by the government and donors. The results of this comparison showed that the needs of refugees were fulfilled at a percentage ranging from 66–99%.

In realization of interoperation process of inter-provincial interconnection charges security management and highway emergency response and service systems, breadth-first interoperation, depth-first interoperation and mixed interoperation are widely used. This paper gives a brief introduction of these three methods. And for breadth-first interoperation, gives the example of authentication that used in the real system. At last, for mixed interoperation, the cost function and the steps in realization is talked about.

Nuclear off-site emergency response for nuclear power plants in Guangdong province is a complicated process, which is finished by many emergency response organizations. In a nuclear emergency, the source, format, content, take-over means and processing means of the information passed among these organizations are different. The aim of nuclear emergency response is to protect public and environment by taking some proper urgent protective action. The essential information from the original information is necessary for decision-making in the processing of nuclear response emergency, thus the key of emergency response is incepting and analyzing the information. An effective method of processing information is using a computer-based information system to aid the traditional handwork means. Nuclear Emergency management Information System in Guangdong Province is such systems, which covers preparedness, response and recover phase. At first, this paper analyzed the system functions according to the responsibilities of the emergency organizations in Guangdong province. Then the system frame is decided, which is composed of operation, information management, file processing, consequence assessment, operational intervention level (OIL) computing subsystem, geographic information system and a system database. A useful method for decision is applying the OILs in consequence assessment, and default OILs need be revised in a real nuclear emergency. Developing OIL computing subsystem is helpful to make decision with measurement result directly.
