TEMA: Pioneering Disaster Management through Interoperable Digital Twins: Bridging Technological Capabilities with Global Needs
This article explores the role of digital twins and interoperability in natural disaster management.
When a natural disaster occurs, the situation on-site can be quite chaotic and overwhelming, making it hard to understand for emergency responders. To react effectively, a detailed understanding of the situation on the ground is required, as it determines where resources and manpower are deployed. After events such as floods or earthquakes, traditional methods of information gathering and transportation are often hindered, e.g. by physical barriers or overwhelmed call centres.
