Application of Disaster Management Information for the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Since end of 2019, because of the worldwide spread of COVID-19, the whole world has been struggling for solutions to mitigate adverse impacts and worsening situations, which demonstrate very dynamic characteristics requiring high integration among government agencies to make decisions and deliver operation. Within countries around the world, most of disaster management agencies are the primary institutions working with health agencies to cope with health emergencies. To comparing disaster management with public health management, there are lots of common grounds like procedures to deal with emergency and allocations of resources. However, the differences between the two fields offer an opportunity for mutual leaning on best practices of emergency management. For example, in case of disaster event, for better response and control, commanding officials usually dispatch several teams and concentrate resources as much as possible to effectively respond to emergency. According to reports on containing COVID-19 spread, whenever any decisions should consider social distancing first that limits operational space because of safety reason. This paper explores possible collaboration between disaster management with public health management and discusses direction about how to apply information of disaster risk management for public health events. More focal topics concentrate on data processing of population distribution and information integration.
