Assessing the ability to share spatial data between emergency management organisations in the High North
The decreasing extent of the Arctic sea ice has opened up new areas in the High North for industrial and commercial activities. These areas contain large reserves of oil and gas, and the region is home to some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. The region is of key strategic importance, and mai...

The decreasing extent of the Arctic sea ice has opened up new areas in the High North for industrial and commercial activities. These areas contain large reserves of oil and gas, and the region is home to some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. The region is of key strategic importance, and maintaining a Norwegian presence in the Arctic areas is considered to be a national priority. A major restructuring of the emergency management services in Norway is underway to accommodate the expected increase in commercial and industrial activity within the High North region. As part of this process, it is necessary to assess the current status of spatial data within the emergency management (EM) process. This project aims to fill the gap that exists in the current research on the Norwegian emergency management system, as little work has been done to assess the current ability to share spatial information between organisations participating in the emergency management process in the High North. This has been accomplished through a variety of methods, including a detailed GIS-analysis of the communication infrastructure, interviews with stakeholders in the emergency management process and analysis of modern research within the spatial data infrastructure (SDI) domain.
