In this paper, we mainly describe how the debris flow disaster emergency response center in Taiwan to use spatial data Warehouse on the response and recovery stages. For the debris flow emergency response center, managing the instant disaster information on every stage such as mitigation, preparation, response and recovery is very essential in making a suitable decision.



Spatial Data warehouse applications are based on high performance databases so that throughout the client/server architecture can immediately integrate different data. In our case, we used Oracle and ArcSDE to build up the spatial data warehouse. Now, our spatial data warehouse owns over 600 layers and data size over 800GB; those all can offer spatial data for emergency response center to analyze and make decision. In addition, instant disaster information including the disasters’coordinates also could save to the spatial data warehouse so that emergency response center could estimate the amount of the damages.
