Disaster Zone Podcast: Disaster Information Management Systems

What makes for a good system and what about WebEOC?

As I've written recently, we still have not achieved a fully functional disaster information system that is interoperable up and down the chain of organizations with some level of standardization. The podcast linked below is an interview with a University of Washington professor, who has looked extensively at the need for a universal information management system and also how WebEOC measures up in its current configuration.

Professor Scholl was able to provide a written transcript of the podcast at this link Podcast Transcript.

I will be able to share what people think about WebEOC once I get more surveys back. See my blog post and the WebEOC Survey here
