Abstract
Effective coordination and information sharing are vital for the response to sudden onset disasters, and aim at em¬powering the responding organizations as well as the affected commu¬nities to respond to and recover from the impact of a disas¬ter in a well-orchestrated manner. The response to Typhoon Haiyan, however, revealed many organizational and tech¬nical obstacles that impeded the efficient sharing and re¬trieval of information or alignment of operations. This paper presents findings from field research that was conducted in the Philippines in De-cember 2013, and outlines approaches centered around decision-makers’ information needs to direct future work on standardization and information sharing
