Abstract
Supported by the World Bank, the Integrated Information System for Natural Disaster Mitigation (ISNDM), including the operational service system and network telecommunication system, has been in development for three years in the Center of Disaster Reduction, Chinese Academy of Sciences, based on the platform of the GIS software Arcview. It has five main modules: disaster background information, socio- economic information, disaster-induced factors database, disaster scenarios database, and disaster assessment. ISNDM has several significant functions, which include information collection, information processing, data storage, and information distribution. It is a simple but comprehensive demonstration system for our national center for natural disaster reduction.

Summary
It is very important to capture information about the disaster in a timely manner. The first version was a visual one created in Turbo C language based on the geographical information system (GIS) developed by experts in the Center of Disaster Reduction, Chinese Academy Of Sciences (Wang, 1998, 1999; Liang, 1999). Through this version, we studied the processes of typhoons and heavy-rain disasters in detail. Supported by the World Bank, the newest version, the Integrated Information System for Natural Disaster Mitigation (ISNDM), has been developed over the past three years in the Center of Disaster Reduction, Chinese Academy of Sciences on the platform of the GIS software Arcview. It is a simple but comprehensive demonstration system for our national center for natural disaster reduction
