Abstract:

Emergency management is one of the most important areas where technology innovation has direct impact on social well-being and sustainability. In the past few years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has proved to be instrumental to improve emergency management with particular focus on resilience, rapidity of response, adaptability to situations. To these ends, joint optimization of communication and computing is a promising cross-layer approach. Indeed, this paper is focused on the consideration of both cognitive and autonomic networking approaches when deploying an emergency man

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In an emergency, visual information is the most rapid and powerful means of communication available. Emerging computer-based technologies such as user-friendly geographic information systems (GIS), live-link monitoring, video CDs, and 3-D visualization have already proven effective in communications and decision support when appropriately applied to oil and gas operations.

Abstract:

Since Hurricane Katrina, a lot of research has gone into improving disaster management through the use of crisis information management systems (CIMS). There has been much interest in how to design dynamic CIMS, particularly with respect to web-based emergency management systems. In the authors' research, they set out to design and develop a distributed web-based training and research tool for emergency managers and scholars. In order to develop their training system, they needed to simulate the CIMS that emergency managers use during a crisis and with which they could run training and researc

While most would suggest that more effective use of ICT bodes well for emergency services, there are issues associated with the introduction of such use. To explore these issues in Texas, the authors administered a survey of Texas Emergency Services Districts (ESDs).

The results show that in Texas ESDs political and organizational factors are important. Budgets are closely related to the political process in the ESDs, so politics plays a central ro

Abstract:

Emergency alerts, warnings, and notifications (AWN) help protect the public by communicating information about impending hazards to encourage protective actions. Three key subsystems compose AWN systems: (1) detection; (2) management; and (3) response. While much research regarding the detection and response subsystems exists, few studies focus on the management subsystem. This subsystem involves emergency managers (EM) receiving and analyzing information about a hazard, deciding whether the hazard poses enough risk to warrant an emergency message, and where appropriate, transmitting that mess

Abstract:

Telephone calls are the predominant telecommunication mode in Sri Lanka (Zainudeen et al). Leveraging low cost voice-based applications for disaster communication would be acceptable and sustainable. The findings in this paper are from an experiment concerning interactive voice for connecting community-based emergency field operatives with their central emergency coordination hub. Challenge was in interchanging the Freedom Fone (FF) Interactive Voice Response (IVR) generated, Sinhala and Tamil language speech data with the text-based ’Sahana’ disaster management system for analysis and decisio

Abstract:

The ways of improving the mechanisms of information and analytical support of the command control system in the state of emergency are analyzed. The approach to the application of the ontology of the choice problem for decision-making in the field of law enforcement management using the procedure of integration of information resources based on the binary partial order relation is used. The purpose of the article is to increase the efficiency of decision-making in the management system of the military command in a state of emergency by applying the ontology of the choice problem based on a set

Abstract:

In the cycle of dealing with emergencies one can distinguish four periods, that is planning, diagnosing, responding and recovering. Contingency planning is a prerequisite for emergency management in general. The principles of this planning, for Veterinary Public Health (VPH), does not differ from other cases. However, here will be seen from the point of view of VPH. VPH emergencies include zoonotic diseases and food safety aspects. Emergencies in VPH appear suddenly or expand gradually.

AbstractThis paper highlights the use of information technology (IT) in disaster management and public health management of disasters. Effective health response to disasters will depend on three important lines of action: (1) disaster preparedness; (2) emergency relief; and (3) management of disasters. This is facilitated by the presence of modern communication and space technology, especially the Internet and remote sensing satellites. This has made the use of databases, knowledge bases, geographic information systems (GIS), management information systems (MIS), information transfer, and onli

Abstract Background The rapid dissemination of smart devices within the internet of things (IoT) is developing toward automatic emergency alerts which are transmitted from machine to machine without human interaction. However, apart from individual projects concentrating on single types of accidents, there is no general methodology of connecting the standalone information and communication technology (ICT) systems involved in an accident: systems for alerting (e.g., smart home/car/wearable), systems in the responding stage (e.g., ambulance), and in the curing stage (e.g., hospital).

Disaster management encompasses routine disaster reduction, pre-disaster preparation, mid-disaster response, post-disaster recovery, time management and allocating routine tasks over an extended period, and emergency response during highly stressful periods. Various response organizations rely on effective &ldquo;integrated disaster management&rdquo; to react to situations at different periods in time. In addition to making personnel and organization adjustments at different times, integration also requi

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a health emergency as a vaccine for it has not been found yet requiring the government to seriously manage it. Therefore, the government needs to effectively implement non-pharmaceutical measures. One of the measures to suppress the spread of the virus is public communication. The government’s public communication in dealing with COVID-19 has faced problems resulted in low public discipline and awareness thus far. This study used a quantitative approach with descriptive statistics analysis. The analysis does not generalize the result but it can explain the c

Introduction: An emergency is a serious, unexpected situation which may lead to injury, loss of life and damage to property and often needs urgent interventions. Emergency calls can bring urgent life-saving intervention in such situations. Although access to emergency lines for all persons of a society is one of the effectiveness indexes of this critical service, in most countries, these lines are not accessible for disabled people.Case presentation: This study examined the issue of emergency number accessibility for disabled people in the I.R. of Iran.

Objective. Triage in resource-limited settings (RLS) improves outcomes. Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment (ETAT) is a simple triage algorithm that improves assessment and initial management of children in RLS. In Belize, pediatric triage varies with setting, from a 5-level Emergency Severity Index (ESI) used at the National Referral Hospital to a lack of triage at government health centers (GHC). Most data on ETAT implementation are in settings where no triage system existed; data on how to integrate ETAT into existing, heterogeneous triage systems are lacking. The aim of this study is

ABSTRACT Management systems are a focus of Sub-Area Contingency Plans (SACPs) developed in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region VIII. The key element to planning is working with facilities and local, state, tribal, and federal agencies to provide for coordinated response to oil and hazardous materials emergencies. Because a variety of management systems are used, even within small subareas, negotiation, education, and practice are required to encourage responders to set up incident command and to be prepared for expansion into a unified command structure when justified by the

Abstract:

Upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage remains a common medical emergency with significant mortality. Management depends on appropriate and timely resuscitation, therapeutic endoscopy and surgery. This is made possible by a multidisciplinary approach incorporating protocols and scoring systems to aid risk stratification. Communication between members of the multidisciplinary team is important in determining the outcome for patients with high predicted mortality.
