Abstract: The changes related to intervention dynamics and the effects of extreme events and the complications involved have encouraged researchers to discover innovative ways to handle the decision making processes of crisis management. The issues related to these decisions are usually complex and need robust and usually creative, support tools. On occasion, time pressure, the complexity of the event, how quickly the event or disaster situation changes, the fact that surrounding environments can be chaotic and human behaviors are important when considering critical situations. This study offers an in-depth examination of commonly used crises management software from across the world. In turn, the organization of critical services necessary for continued and organized crises management is built through a literature review and the researchers communication with a number of stakeholders. The current study employs advanced information visualization schemes for the early warning system of a decision, thus, assisting in crises prevention and recovery thereafter. It puts forward a visualized toolbox for CDSS which uses crises management and dynamic information visualization under the scope of enterprise functionality. Lastly, this study establishes the potential for using this type of toolbox and offers concluding remarks.
