%X In this paper we present a decision support system for primary action of international organizations devoted to natural disaster relief In particular, we pretend to build up an expert system that taking into account past experiences will help decision makers, mainly non-governmental organizations, to start or not an operation, depending on the place and the very first information about a possible natural disaster. The relevance of this issue is extreme, since such a decision must be taken as soon as possible.
