【 摘 要 】

To successfully confront a disaster, it is necessary the coordinated and collaborative participation of multiple agencies related to public safety, which provide a response consistent with the requirements of emergency environment and all those affected. For this, is necessary the permanent information exchange between the involved agencies that allows to joint its efforts and to face the emergency of the best possible way. This article describes the interoperability platform architecture, which enables agencies involved in management of an emergency, exchange information using their own information systems and computer tools. The architecture core is inside its Shared Information Space, which manages it as a single storage entity, all information coming from the information systems integrated to the platform. It is founded on a non-relational distributed database and a P2P communications network, to share out the workload between all the platform nodes in order to award availability and scalability to the architecture.
