Natural disasters profoundly affect the development of human society, they are the most pervasive disasters in the world and they cause the greatest property and human loss. We consider that is absolutely necessary to develop a decision support system, which would prevent – as much as possible – natural disasters from occurring or would help mitigate their effects. All these objectives are unattainable without effectively applying information and communication technology in the field of natural disasters. The paper proposes a complex Grid-based architecture for assisting users in their decision making activities. With the help of actual semantic Web technologies, the designed system can be considered a viable solution for disaster management.
