Abstract	Crisis events have dramatic impact on human society, economy and our environment. Geographical information and intelligence play a key role in crisis management activities. However, the use of geographical information technologies in responsible government agencies has been mostly confined to single users, and within single agency. An interdisciplinary team from Penn State University (comprised of GIScientists, information scientists, and computer scientists) has joined efforts with collaborators from federal, state, and local agencies to develop advanced geospatial information technologies that support GeoCollaborative Crisis Management (GCCM). In this demonstration, we present our progress in the design and implementation of a GIS-mediated collaborative environment that enables crisis managers and collaborating agencies to work together with geographical information. The system features multimodal interactions, mixed-initiative conversational dialogues, and map-mediated communication. It can be used by managers in emergency operation centers (EOC) as well as first responders in the field.
