<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify; text-justify:inter-ideograph; text-autospace:none">
In recent decades, the frequency, scale, and impacts of natural and man-made crises, disasters and catastrophes have markedly increased. Extreme events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, 2010 Haiti Earthquake, 2011 East Japan Great
Earthquake and Tsunami, and 2012 Hurricane Sandy, have overwhelmed the response capacity of government agencies and profoundly affected communities in large areas. We consider this to be a major concern for governments, nonprofit organizations (NPOs), citizens,
and communities alike. However, intelligent information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as smartphones and social media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and blogs) are providing increased capacities for networking, enabling citizens and
communities to actively engage with government in disaster management through crowdsourcing of local disaster information and playing increasingly important roles in all phases of a comprehensive disaster management cycle: disaster preparedness, response,
recovery, and mitigation. At the same time, the growing social and technological interdependence and resultant complexity of ICTs have exposed citizens, communities, and governments to a new level of vulnerability to the impacts of all types of hazards; in
the aftermath of a disaster, for example, sustained large-area power failures and impaired critical infrastructures with associated cascading effects can result in a breakdown of clear cross-jurisdictional communication, a lack of timely actionable information,
and an information chaos or “black hole.” We consider governing, managing, collecting, processing, evaluating, sense making, sharing, and communicating information in dynamically changing disaster environments to be a relevant and timely research theme for
e-government research.<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
