Adopting a Trading Zone Framework to Emergency Management

Abstract

This paper presents a novel framework for identifying and detailing the processes of Information Trading Zones in Emergency Management. Drawing inspiration from various scientific disciplines, we demonstrate the applicability of these insights within Emergency Management in the Information Systems domain through a detailed case study. By leveraging these adapted concepts, our framework enhances understanding of information exchange and collaboration in emergency response efforts. Through this research, we shed light on the relevance and effectiveness of the framework in addressing the unique and dynamic challenges of Information Management in Emergency Management scenarios.
