Conference goals
This conference seeks to unite a diverse range of disciplines and experts, including meteorological and warning services, disaster and risk managers, emergency responders, and specialists in cartography, visualization, and communication. The conference focuses on:
- Identifying gaps and challenges in applying new technologies.
- Bridging the divide between research and practice.
- Enabling operational synergies across all phases of disaster management, from monitoring and forecasting to response and recovery.
- Sharing best practices and addressing methodological issues in risk modeling, visualization, and resilience analytics.
- Exploring cartographic visualization of complex spatiotemporal data to enhance forecasts, warnings, and early actions.
- Strengthening connections between forecasting, response, and impact.
- Promoting cross-organizational information management to turn data streams and impact forecasts into actionable decisions.
- Defining a roadmap for future advancements in (cartographic) visualization and communication for risk management.
