Integrated platforms for sustainable disaster management and future perspectives

Abstract This study provides a review of the role played by integrated platforms in sustainable disaster management. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015–2030 recognizes their significant role in reducing the effects of disasters due to the multi-sectoral collaboration, improved resource management, new technologies, and organized coordination. The review utilizes content and databases like Research Gate, Web of Science, and Scopus. The decade 2015–2025 is examined, and the main methods, research gaps, and trends in building up the subject matter are revealed. Main lessons in building and implementing integrated platforms to respond to disasters are achieved through systematic reviewing of about 350 articles, especially those addressing building resilience, real-time capacity to simulate, and expert decision-making processes with the use of clear inclusion and exclusion criteria linked to limited empirical evidence, fragmented systemic approaches and insufficient integration of digital tools in the different phases of disaster management. The platforms support pre-disaster preparations, in-disaster relief, and post-disaster reconstruction activities with the latest technologies like Geographic Information Systems (GIS), big data processing, early warning systems, and smart emergency command systems. The results also highlight the interdisciplinary nature of this field of research and indicate emerging collaboration networks among researchers, reflecting growing cross-institutional and multi-sector cooperation in the study of integrated disaster management.They augment the capacity of communities to bounce back from natural disasters and overcome the weaknesses of critical infrastructures by integrating such technologies as hybrid community models and remote sensing. The findings of systematic review provide the basis for policy recommendation and future research, assisting the establishment of platform capability development and integration of other innovative and sustainable approaches in line with international catastrophe risk reduction goals.
