| Summary: | Massive amounts of data and information are exchanged during the response phase of disaster management. A large body of contemporary research has indicated that most of these data and information have severe quality related concerns, meaning that they may not be suitable for critical decision-making. The current paper addresses these issues by identifying how certain features of data and information quality function, to support specific, naturalistic decision-making processes during disaster response. These functions are used to revise and consolidate pre-existing definitions of data and information quality, for use in further disaster response research.
•Theoretical synthesis of information quality & decision-making literature.•Consolidated information quality requirements for disaster response.•Defined set of information quality characteristics for this context.•Innovative model of how information quality affects situation awareness.•Conceptual foundation for new disaster response research. |
