Abstract

The current process to deal with disaster mitigation has a number of drawbacks that can be solved using web technology. The basic problem is that there is a unidirectional and asynchronous flow of information among the different agents involved in a disaster mitigation procedure. This situation often results in a lack of coordination in the resources provision and in a useless assistance. In this paper we introduce ARCE, a web based system envisaged to cope with the lack of synchronism among assistance requests and responses in a multinational environment as the Latin-American Association of Governmental Organisms of Civil Defence and Protection is. ARCE makes uses of role-based access policies (RBAC) and information flow mechanisms to offer an efficient and reliable communication channel.
