In mine action information management, the primary object or focus is a hazard, whether it is a minefield, UXO spot or other ERW contamination, and the activities or processes undertaken to reduce or eliminate the hazard. Other important objects and activities include accidents, victims, quality management and mine risk education activities. In certain programmes, these elements may take a more prominent role, with IMSMANG supporting them equally well. However, the traditional focus The practice of information management in mine action is on hazards and the processes done similar to eliminate them. The process of clearing hazards follows an operational workflow that is reflected in information management as a set of business rules. As each step in the clearance process is completed, attributes of the hazard change so that eventually the hazard is clearedother fields. It is the role of information management to Information managers collect , process and analyse information about each step and accurately report the status and attributes of each hazard as it makes its way through the workflow to assist in support operational activities such as , planning, tasking and clearance operationsreporting. Whether a programme Information management is implementing a land release model for hazard clearance or a risk reduction modelnot an end in itself; rather, it is an activity that supports the concepts are primary goal of mine action: reducing the same. Hazards are reduced and changed over time by various processes. To implement this effectively in IMSMANG, information managers must first fully understand the workflow and business rules in use in their programmesimpact of hazards on civilian populations.
