The core research group classified the appropriate articles and drafted the first version of the results. Using an expert panel methodology, the results were finalized ba sed on the participants view points.
Findings: Advanced technology can help responders to manage disaster recovery and rehabilitation phase. Using the telerehabilitation, telecommunication, Geo Information Technology and mobile technologies are some examples which could reduce post disaster impacts.
