Resumo

The quality of life of the people affected by flooding may be decreased due to this type of threat and need to have a system to record the damage caused by the disaster to restore the lives of those affected. For this it is necessary to know the damage to the homes in which these people live, in which they may have been evacuated because of the unfavorable conditions found after the disaster. Also it is necessary to register the losses that occurred in the productive activities of people, as well as damage to health. In this paper, we introduce the GEODAMSUR system, an implementation of a prototype of a geographic information system, allowing the entry of the data gathered in the recovery phase. The system provides a mobile interface to accomplish the damages survey and all the information gathered is centralized in a main System which allows the display of the damages presented in form of tabular data and maps. GEODAMSUR is integrated with other systems such as flood forecasting and early warning systems to perform different types of analysis of this data to help in the decision making.
