Abstract:

To orchestrate future disaster relief operations, the authors had learned from their experience of the Ji-Ji Earthquake that both the equipment and the staffs need to be modernized. Also, to have a better chance to fight disasters, it is obvious that a state-of-art command center built upon the most current technologies is desired. This paper will focus on this aspect to examine the current trends of disaster communication, information processing, and image transmission.
