Data and information management

This theme covers aspects related to hardware, software, networks, and media for the collection, storage, processing, transmission and presentation of information for disaster risk reduction (DRR), as well as related services. It also addresses information management to support knowledge sharing for DRR, such as data exchange standards and taxonomy.
