government will not meet the expectations if it is not based on 
the spatial data (AFAYBIS, 2004). AFAYBIS project is 
prepared with this vision. 
In AFAYBIS, one of the most important things is 
communication. Considering that all the information that is 
going to be used for decision making is collected online. For 
fulfilling this duty, a local area network (LAN), to be used for 
sending data to the centre, and a wide area network (WAN), to 
be used for exchange of data among the units within the system, 
is designed for the Disaster Management Centre. 
Foreseeing the fact that the existing communication 
infrastructure can be damaged during the disaster, wireless 
communication technologies that can be used are chosen. In this 
respect, advantages and disadvantages of the technologies that 
the personnel will use during and after the disaster have been 
explained. Technologies that are independent of foreign 
resources and are still in existence are suggested to be used 
during the disaster. 
Data production that is designated within the framework of 
AFAYBIS project will enable efficient data sharing between the 
institutions. This efficient and rapid share of data between and 
among the institutions will in turn enable the decisions to be 
made more accurately and more quickly. This will eventually 
positively affect the development of our country.
