The 9th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM'2024) will be held in Setif, Algeria, in November, 2024. The conference is hosted by Ferhat Abbas University Setif 1.

Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) have revolutionized the way we communicate with each other in today's world. While regular communications are supported irrespective of the geographical locations of various participants, the strength of the ICT infrastructure in a particular location is also very crucial in cases of both man-made and natural disasters. The tools, techniques and applications of ICT are needed for information acquisition, information supply, communications, better coordination, proper response, and overall for the contingency operations at the time of disaster.

The 9th ICT-DM 2024 aims to bring together academics and practitioners to learn about the latest research developments, share their experiences and information about this area in general and develop recommendations. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research on using ICT for detection, prevention, preparation, response and recovery during disaster situations. The ICT-DM 2024 conference will provide a forum for supporting and encouraging researchers who are involved in pragmatic applications in this domain.
