Disaster, crisis and then the search, rescue and reliefis a cycle frequently repeated in a country like Iran. In this cycle, commonly known as the crisis management cycle, we are constantly faced with a variety of data and outputs from the early stages, namely, determining the risk of areas to the post-crisis stages and retrieval, which are somehow related to the location. Collectinginformation both in the pre and post-crisis stages will notbe a very difficult task, as the damaged society is then almost relieved from panic and therefore resources permit the authorities in charge to gather information as requiredHowever, during the crisis andas long as the society is suffering from critical conditions, collecting information such as the depth of damages, damaged areas, risk-prone areas, dispersion of damages, resources, facilities and … will be very useful and obviously difficult. Thus, considering the lack of tools andappropriate technology in the country for gathering information during crisis conditions, this research has focused on gathering information in the crisis management response phase. In this regard, concepts of Telegeoinformatics (TGI) and its various architectures were presented and continued with designing a system for gathering information during earthquake crisis. Finally, an emergency response system was designed and was presented as a software package. Moreover, the model and software of this system was presented in UML for further development by other researchers who are studying in the same fields, which resulted in presentation of suggestions for development of this system using other technologies.

Human beings have spent many decades trying to confront and overcome the nature. This is a continuous confrontation and fight against the nature whose unbounded forces enlarge and result in more catastrophes every day. Recently, this endeavor and fighting have appeared much more useful, due to the scientific development and related communication and information strategies in crisis management.
In competitive environment, survival depends on not being taken by surprise and success is the reward of taking someone by surprise. Therefore, the necessity of being prepared and having a coherent plan to fight natural forces in the context of crisis management is obvious. The present study tries to define crisis along with its different forms and investigate factors which result in the importance of these phenomenon in human societies. Moreover, it introduces concepts of crisis management and its different phases while defining Telegeoinformatics sciences. Finally, a Telegeoinformatic structure was proposed to launch crisis management system
