Roading organizations are involved in a wide range of emergency response and recovery activities that requires information sharing. This paper presents an information sharing framework for roading organizations. The framework is applied to a desktop case study in the South Island of New Zealand to establish the approximate magnitude of potential benefits. Results show that a potential reduction in time and cost of emergency response activities could be reached if the conceptual framework was implemented through reduced response times, fast access to relevant information and therefore enhanced decision making.
