Scope Disasters are events that cause dramatic losses of life and property and disrupt the normal functioning of the economy and society on a largescale.Disastermanagementismultifacetedprocesstoreducetheimpactofdisastersandprovideassistancetoaffectedpopulations. It involves information and communicationintensive activities before, during and after disaster strikes. The revolutionary potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) lies in their ability to instantly and continuously facilitate rapid communication and flow of information, capital, ideas, people and products. Because of this potential, ICTs have shown usefulness for addressing various challenges including those related to disaster management. This makes everyone agree on their potential to revolutionize the disaster managementareatoo. ICTDM2014 aims to bring together academics and practitioners who are involved in emergency services, ad hoc planning, disaster recovery, etc., to learn about the latest research developments, share experiences and information about this area and develop recommendations.
