SPADE: A Framework for After-Disaster Adaptive Recovery Processes

Needs and offers assessment and matching system can be an essential component of the recovery of the communities to recover from the aftermath of natural disasters. In this paper we present the design of a framework called SPADE (Social Platform for After-Disaster matching of Emergent needs and offers) that leverages on the capacity of self-organization of communities of actors involved in crisis management, proposing advanced algorithms and techniques for need/offer matching.
