CfP - Disasters and Crises: Visualization, Communication, and Information Management

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Conference on Forecasting, Preparedness, Warning, and Response
Visualization, Communication, and Information Management (RIMMA2025)
28 - 31 January 2025, University of Bern, Switzerland

now is open for submissions of presentations, papers, posters and various types of side-events.

Information and warnings are decisive elements in integrated risk management. Warnings increase preparedness and are one of the organizational measures (along with forecasts and emergency planning) to respond to hazards and risks. (Near-)Real-time data and warnings need to be available, accessible, communicable, and understandable and must be issued and distributed according to the needs of various target groups. User-centered impact-based warnings aim to complement meteorological forecasts with impact forecasts. This requires a dedicated collaboration between meteorological services, warning services, and user groups.

Visualization, communication, and information management are crucial for effective forecasting, nowcasting, and warning systems and thus are the key to better disaster prevention and management. Cartography and visualization, in general, offer various means for this. Today’s maps are (almost entirely) digital: web-based, interactive, and updated in real time. However, visualization of spatiotemporal data streams and impact-based warnings comprise maps and full Geoinformation-Systems, including digital twins and multi-media (text, images, virtual reality, storytelling).

Open questions remain to be discussed and answered regarding user-centered information management, large data processing, visualization, and communication of operational consequences as well as humanitarian and economic impacts of natural hazards, visualization of uncertainties, and other perspectives coming from geovisualization, cognitive visualization, interoperability of systems, standardization of processes, distribution channels of early warnings, and early action.
