GeoPlanet service.The IBM research (Australia) plans the OzCrsisTracker 2.0 deployment in the Australian Bushfire and Flood season 2014.

Two real cases used to test its applicability showed that different visualization techniques might be needed to support situation awareness.We have chosen two case studies that vary considerably in the number of information generated and they help also to illustrate potential visualization techniques that can be used to support data exploration. The visualization of the outcomes of this process plays a fundamental role in order to facilitate the interpretation by the operators.
