Information Flow Management regarding the Functioning of Public Authorities in Crisis Situations

Summary/Abstract: For the management of information flow, the use of the functional modelling methodology is proposed, as part of the graph theory for describing the functioning of systems, such as public authorities as organizational-management structures. The methodology is based on concepts such as functional block and interface arc (flow). In organisational-management structures, one of the functional blocks is the manager, and the others are managed. Each of the blocks is a source of information and generates information flows, transferring information to a managed functional block or several ones. For the implementation and management of information exchange by the public authorities in crisis management, processing and protection of dataflow, when working in a group environment, it is proposed to build an adequate communication and information system using the methodology of functional modelling.
