Over the past years several, less or more integrated emergency management support and information systems have been developed and implemented. After a short review of the larger, mainly governmentally sponsored systems and of a selection from the smaller commercially available systems, the computer aided emergency response system (CAERS) of the Belgian Nuclear Energy Research Centre is highlighted.
