1. A many-to-many (M2M) hazard information coordination system comprising:
- a. a plurality of data collectors adapted to provide input data, b. a plurality of data disbursers, and c. a decision support system coupling said plurality of data collectors to said plurality of data disbursers, said decision support system including a data-evaluation module adapted to evaluate the input data to produce at least one data evaluation and a routing module adapted to route the input data to at least one of said plurality of data disbursers with respect to the at least one data evaluation.

Abstract
A hazard information coordination system is provided with intelligent routing to enhance the distribution of information from multiple information sources to a plurality of destinations. Routing is performed based on data values and associated intelligence that determines what data is relevant to which users. User preferences, geographical location, local environment, current activities, and planned activities help a decision support system determine what data is relevant for each user. Thus, decision support systems are preferably provided with situational awareness, context awareness, and forecasting capabilities.
