This can be achieved by improved monitoring of hazards throughdevelopment of observation systems, integration of muti-source data and ef-ficient dissemination of knowledge to concerned people. Geo-informationtechnologies have proven to offer a variety of opportunities to aid management and recovery in the aftermath. Intelligent context-aware technologiescan provide access to needed information, facilitate the interoperability ofemergency services, and provide high-quality care to the publicDisaster management poses significant challenges for real-time data col-lection, monitoring, processing, management, discovery, translation, integration, visualisation and communication of information. Challenges togeo-information technologies are rather extreme due to the heterogeneousinformation sources with numerous variations scale/resolution dimension(2D or 3D), type of representation(vector or raster), classification and at-tributes schemes, temporal aspects(timely delivery, history, predictions ofthe future), spatial reference system used, etcThere is a need to continuously discuss the state of the observing systems and integration of effective monitoring of disasters, development ofpredictions systems, integration and analysis of geo-information. Recognising the importance of use of geo-information in disaster management,several universities(Delft University of Technology, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands; University of Waterloo, Canada), internationalorganisations (ISPRS, UNOOSA, EU, ICA, FIG, OGC)and vendors(Bentley, Intergraph, Oracle, PCI) have taken the initiative to organise anannual symposium, which aims at uniting the efforts of researchers, devel-opers, data providers and users from different countries and continentsThe symposium was organised first in Delft, The Netherlands(March2005). Three more symposia were organised under the coordination of theISPRS WGIV/8: Goa, India(September 2006), Toronto, Canada(2007)and Harbin, China(August, 2008)The second symposium concentrated on natural disasters as the generaltheme was 'Remote Sensing and GIs Techniques for Monitoring and Prediction of Disasters. It was organised by the Indian Society of RemoteSensing, ISPRS, ISRO, UNOOSA, FIG, EC, AGiLe, ICA and Delft University of Technology on 25-26 of September 2006, Goa, India. The twoday symposium has accommodated 60 participants from 12 countries
