Directions Mag have an article about a proposed system architecture for emergency response in urban areas. From the article: Geo-information plays an important role in every stage of disaster management and response. [...] The information needs to be delivered to people based on their roles and tasks, time constraints, changing circumstances, stress, pain and fatigue, disturbed (or lack of) communication channels, equipment with limited capacity and damaged or destroyed infrastructure.

The S, M and GIS blog discuss the successes and failures of the Strong Angel III disaster response in San Diego. Here's the New York Times article (registration required) and the official website. From the NYT article: "At the same time, the technology roadblocks were balanced by notable successes, like the work of Google, Microsoft, ESRI, Intergraph and other companies to allow sharing a single set of digital satellite maps seamlessly and to overlay event data relayed from emergency workers throughout the San Diego area."
Industry: Geospatial and the Urban Enterprise
[+]
In this month newsletter, the Open Geospatial Newsletter provide a president's message about geospatial technology and standards inroads in the urban enterprise, mainly architecture, engineering and construction. From the message: "The AEC industry has been making great strides in transitioning from the 2-dimensional paper world to virtual world of Building Information Models (BIMs), which in addition to supporting 3D and 4D visualization and analysis, enable easier exchange of detailed building information among multiple stakeholders throughout the life cycle of a building. The AEC industry is essentially building their own kind of spatial data infrastructure in parallel with the one the geospatial community began advancing in the 1990’s to enable sharing of geospatial data. The Web amplifies and converges these efforts. In both domains, standards and the Web's infinite malleability are dissolving the barriers that have prevented data from becoming the useful resource it needs to be. And standards and the Web are also dissolving the barriers between AEC centered and geospatial data infrastructures."
