Description Presented paper illustrates issues of geodata content definition, formalization, and visualization within emergency management and combines them with the process modelling. Because of the overall complexity the proposed solution is described with a limited parameters using specific scenario dealing with the traffic accident and transportation of dangerous chemical substances. First of all the scenario domain description is given. It includes the rescue units intervention at an accident with dangerous substances, commander intervention related activities and their cooperation on tactical and operational levels. Activities mentioned above are further analysed with using document Typical activities of the IRS components at the common intervention. Process is viewed, structured and presented by use case diagrams. It identifies processes on the highest level of process hierarchy. Then the process analysis and modelling of the emergency activities are decomposed in top-down manner and the BPMN is used as the primary process definition format. Based on the analysis of the action (e.g. intervention organizing) and types of situation (e.g. accident of vehicle with dangerous substances) in emergency management it is possible to define context-aware scenario in which geographic information supports decision making. After analyzing user needs on data, relevant data sets are chosen. Action and situation are the most important aspects determining role of geodata and thus its visualization.
