System for Multi-Hazard Potential Impact Assessment, Alert, Emergency Response Planning and Tracking (SMART)

A multi-hazard decision support system designed to support impact assessment, emergency response planning, resource management, and operational coordination before, during, and after disaster events.

Developer: RIMES
Stage Of Maturity: Fully operational

Strengths

  • Supports the complete emergency management cycle
  • Integrates hazard and impact information
  • Resource and response planning capability
  • Strong operational situational awareness
  • Multi-hazard design

Weaknesses

  • Requires comprehensive exposure and infrastructure datasets
  • Operational effectiveness depends on institutional adoption
  • Primarily government-focused

Synergies

  • Uses operational forecast inputs from FOCUS, ECMWF Forecasts, and national forecasting systems.
  • Supported by geospatial information and climate analytics from RDAS, DataEx, and Climate Engine.
  • Can integrate hazard and exposure information from systems such as SATARK, FloCAST, and PARFFGS.
  • Comparable to impact-based decision support systems such as CIDSS and Nepal SATARK.
