    The Victorian emergency management continuum and the benefits of spatial enablement
    Griffin, Ged ; RAJABIFARD, ABBAS ; Williams, David ( 2012)
    We live our lives in the real world and the real world has three key attributes that influence our lives, namely; time, activity and space. Traditional approaches towards emergency management have only focused on the key elements of prevention, response and recovery. This approach limits emergency management to the domains of time and activity. As a result this approach overlooks the need to explicitly focus and build spatial enablement across all elements of emergency management. This paper examines the emergency management arrangements within Victoria, Australia, since 1983 and suggests that these arrangements are a continuum that is constantly evolving. The paper argues that the development of a common operating picture through spatial enablement and interoperability is a critical aspect of emergency management.
