Abstract A Disaster is an event that causes substantial loses to life, property and environment during a very short time. In this age where urbanization is at its prime, most of the population density is found concentrated in cities. Hence a disaster around such huge population bursts can cause a substantial loss of life and property. The concept of smart cities is a rapidly growing phenomenon for many developing nations. The infrastructure of such cities is being revamped in order to achieve the smart city goals. In this context, many sectors and development indices are taken into consideration for making a city smart. For new cities where everything is built from scratch, this is a more easier task to plan everything from smart city point-of-view. But for existing cities this poses a real challenge as the existing framework has to be replaced or redesigned accordingly. Most cities have little practices for disaster preparedness and put all efforts on disaster response and recovery. An effective Disaster Management plan has to effectively handle all stages of disaster—preparedness, response and recovery. To make this Disaster Management plan more effective, a spatial component is proposed in our study. The spatial component in a disaster management framework helps to better understand the disaster and take necessary steps for its management. In this paper we concentrate on the inclusion of smart city concepts into a spatial disaster management framework to prepare a robust plan in all stages of a Disaster. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2019.
