ICT-DM2017 aims to bring together academics and practitioners who are involved in
emergency services, ad hoc planning, disaster recovery, etc., to learn about the latest
research developments, share experiences and information about this area and develop
recommendations.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research on
using ICTs for detection, prevention, preparation, response and recovery of disasters. There
will also be invited presentations by experts from academia, industry, and government as
