Disaster Management System

Inter-agency disaster coordination, scenario and drill system

It brings disaster agencies, local governments, response agencies, universities, civil society organisations and volunteers together in a single coordination structure, giving a resilient city a shared foundation.

A coordination system that connects agencies

The Disaster Management System is not one institution’s internal software but a coordination system that brings different agencies into a shared way of working. Plans, scenarios, drills and response records are kept in common, and before, during and after a disaster are handled in the same structure.

Agencies and bodies taking part in coordination

The institution that sets up the system decides which agencies take part. Each agency sees and shares only the information within its own remit.

Inter-agency coordination during a disaster

Agencies receive their tasks on the shared plan and share the field situation with each other as it happens.

  • Field reports

Automatic reporting aligned with İRAP

Risk reduction actions, drill results and resource inventories turn automatically into reports aligned with the İl Afet Risk Azaltma Planı (İRAP).

  • Action tracking

Works on its own, connects to existing systems

It can be set up as a standalone system and also works with the software and data sources agencies already use.

Standalone set-up

Used with the institution and its partners without needing other software.
