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.
