description Abstract Paper aims The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current Brazilian Integrated Disaster Information System (S2iD), designed to qualify and give transparency to the disaster management in Brazil. Originality Providing an analysis of the system features and its prioritization, this paper can also serve as a reference for implementing software for disaster response. Research method To enable the S2iD evaluation, the research considers a triangulation method that includes literature review, disaster response tool assessment and a multi-criteria decision model based on interviews with specialists. Main findings The study could define and prioritize the most critical functionalities for a disaster response system. On top of it, four new features (Information Security, Multiuser, Donor Evaluation, History Database) not previously documented in the literature were defined as necessary to a disaster management system. Implications for theory and practice The detailed findings indicate ways of improvement for the S2iD.
