Under such circumstances, the emergency mapping team (EMT) enables a common operational picture of the impacted communities. This paper aims to identify user requirements for EMT operations in the Caribbean and, based on those findings, improve the level of preparedness to deliver information-services that contribute to disaster risk management in the region. The results are built upon a case-study and a survey targeted for technical personnel responsible for emergency mapping in three Caribbean states: the Dominican Republic, Saint Lucia and Sint Maarten. Our findings revealed five user requirements for EMT operations: institutional arrangements, implementation of a Cloud-based spatial data infrastructure, linking community stakeholders, partnerships and capacity building. This study provides the foundation for future EMT developments in the Caribbean region and in others SIDS with similar settings in the world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi10050307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,6]],"date-time":"2021-05-06T15:10:27Z","timestamp":1620313827000},"page":"307","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Identifying Users\u2019 Requirements for Emergency Mapping Team Operations in Small Island Developing States: Caribbean Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9325-2121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregorio","family":"Rosario Michel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Governance Institute (PGI), KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"Departamento de Tecnolog\u00eda de la Informaci\u00f3n y Comunicaci\u00f3n, Servicio Geol\u00f3gico Nacional de la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana (SGN), Santo Domingo 10148, Dominican Republic"},{"name":"Escuela de Agrimensura, Universidad Nacional Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a (UNPHU), Santo Domingo 10602, Dominican Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6834-3654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Manzano Aybar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Tecnolog\u00eda de la Informaci\u00f3n y Comunicaci\u00f3n, Servicio Geol\u00f3gico Nacional de la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana (SGN), Santo Domingo 10148, Dominican Republic"}]},{"given":"Leris","family":"Neris Guzm\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Tecnolog\u00eda de la Informaci\u00f3n y Comunicaci\u00f3n, Servicio Geol\u00f3gico Nacional de la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana (SGN), Santo Domingo 10148, Dominican Republic"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Villalta Calder\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Land Surveying, Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico (PUPR), San Juan 00918, Puerto Rico"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7116-9696","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teodoro Jim\u00e9nez","family":"Dur\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Agrimensura, Universidad Nacional Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a (UNPHU), Santo Domingo 10602, Dominican Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1077-597X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joep","family":"Crompvoets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Governance Institute (PGI), KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"UNISDR (2015).
