DESCRIPTION:Disasters are chaotic\, lives are at stake and good decisions 
 have to be made fast by those trying to help. At these times information i
 s critical\, but where does it come from\, how can we make sense of it and
  how can we communicate it to those who need it most? I use examples from 
 short emergency missions as a mapper in earthquakes\, floods and conflicts
  to show how the international community responds to a disaster and how ma
 naging and mapping information can help.
