    As recent crises, such as the tsunami in south-east Asia and Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana have shown, the key element in Environmental Risks Management is to correctly assess the situation, its possible evolutions and implications. Getting the best "visualization" of the situation is therefore essential at all stages of the crisis. Dynamic Visual Networks can provide such a real-time "visualization" of the situation, helping decision-makers to "feel" the situation as if they were experiencing it.

    We are living in a society full of images and videos. If the famous adage, "Images are worth a thousand words" is true, then videos are perhaps worth much more. Advances in telecommunication and communication industry and a rise in demand, have pushed camera costs to a dramatic low. Broadband communication networks will soon be available as well as low-cost high computing power and storage capabilities. There are important advances in the Image and Video Processing. All these components can be leveraged with advances in calibration and compression technologies to build effective Dynamic Visual Networks as proposed in this document.
