چکیده
The Andean Information System for Disaster Prevention and Relief – SIAPAD (as it is called in Spanish) is an Andean Committee for Disaster Risk Prevention and Relief (CAPRADE ) initiative oriented to provide tools for data and information discovery, visualization and to facilitate access to the data available in the different technical organizations of Andean countries participating in the initiative (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru). SIAPAD includes a geoportal aiming at making available relevant information to support decision making during the different phases of the disaster risk management process (prevention, mitigation, preparation, relief). The architecture of SIAPAD promotes and takes advantage of the current initiatives oriented to develop a Spatial Data Infrastructure in the Andean Community. This paper describes the functions and architecture of SIAPAD.
