Abstract

Public administration in the developed countries is designing information initiatives to manage risk information using web-based systems. These sites are intended to deliver information to citizens, but also have valuable information for experts and authorities. Five web sites are compared and a simple methodology is provided to extract conclusions and propose recommendations in an information management dimension that is key to saving not only property but human lives as well.
