The role of information technology (IT) in disaster situations is becoming more important than ever in this recent years, especially to mitigate and reduce the risks associated with the disaster effects. Today, information and communication technologies develop rapidly, offering numerous capabilities that were unimaginable before. During the pandemic, nations had to work rapidly to employ every mean (technology and otherwise) possible to acquire critical information to achieve a common understanding and situational awareness among the various stakeholders involved in responding to the crisis, and to save the life and properties. Modern information and communication technologies can facilitate significantly the decision-making processes from the point of view of disaster risk reduction.
