Multidisciplinary Research AreaEmergency Informatics[Overview] [Faculty] [Projects] [Courses] Emergency Informatics focuses on the real-time collection, analysis, distribution, and visualization of information for prevention, preparedness, response and recovery from emergencies; it spans incident management of large scale, infrequent events such as disaster response, to routine local emergencies such as the introduction of "smart" ambulances and includes continuous monitoring and prediction tasks.
