Abstract
Abstract Paper aims The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current Brazilian Integrated Disaster Information System (S2iD), designed to qualify and give transparency to the disaster management in Brazil. Originality Providing an analysis of the system features and its prioritization, this paper can also serve as a reference for implementing software for disaster response. Research method To enable the S2iD evaluation, the research considers a triangulation method that includes literature review, disaster response tool assessment and a multi-criteria decision model based on interviews with specialists. Main findings The study could define and prioritize the most critical functionalities for a disaster response system. On top of it, four new features (Information Security, Multiuser, Donor Evaluation, History Database) not previously documented in the literature were defined as necessary to a disaster management system. Implications for theory and practice The detailed findings indicate ways of improvement for the S2iD.
Highlights
Humanitarian Logistics (HL) comprises acquiring and delivering requested supplies and services, at the places and times they are needed, while ensuring best value for money (International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 2018)
To be in line with Cozzolino (2012) that define the HL stakeholders, this paper interviewed additional three experts when compared with Eckhardt & Leiras (2015), the Government, the Military and the Logistic Operator
This study aimed to evaluate the S2iD platform, used by the Brazilian Ministry of Integration to register and attend disaster needs
Summary
Humanitarian Logistics (HL) comprises acquiring and delivering requested supplies and services, at the places and times they are needed, while ensuring best value for money (International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, 2018). According to the latest Annual Disaster Statistical Report, published by Guha-Sapir et al (2017), 342 natural disasters were reported in 2016 affecting 569.4 million people and generating losses of US$ 153.9 billion. In Brazil, 2,072 disasters were registered in 2016 over 1,450 cities and up to U$ 91 million was committed for actions to recover the areas affected by disasters (Brasil, 2017). The author defines four disaster phases: (i) mitigation, includes actions to prevent or reduce the disaster impacts; (ii) preparation, considers activities to be done before the disaster strikes; (iii) response, considered the reactive phase that includes activities to save lives and preserve the human and financial resources of the affected region; and (iv) recovery, aims to recover the impacted region. Taking as basis Altay & Green III (2006), Galindo & Batta (2013) performed a literature review and showed the following
