ABSTRACT: The tasks and responsibilities of the Ministry ofTransport, PublicWorks and Water management in The Netherlands lie in the sectors integrated water management (water quality and water quantity), traffic and transport over waterways, rail and in the air. In the past many calamities have taken place in those sectors. Besides large(r) calamities daily traffic incident management along the main roads and waterways is a major task of the Ministry as well. On such occasions the need for (spatial) information and supporting information systems is great. That need has only grown because attention is especially drawn to a proactive/preventive phase in calamity control and incident management. In this chapter we will outline the use of geospatial information and geoservices in Disaster Management within the field of national transport and watermanagement in The Netherlands.
