Abstract:

Le problème de planification de la logistique d'urgence (ELPP) pour les catastrophes naturelles a attiré une attention significative ces dernières années en raison de la fréquence croissante et des impacts graves sur la santé publique et la sécurité. Ces catastrophes peuvent être classées en deux types : prévisibles et imprévisibles. Cette étude se concentre sur l'amélioration de l'efficacité et de l'efficience des secours pour les deux types de catastrophes.Les catastrophes imprévisibles, survenant soudainement avec peu ou sans avertissement préalable, présentent de sérieux défis pour les org

Abstract:

Natural phenomena are essential and unavoidable planetary actions. When they occur in extreme forms they may have a disastrous impact on human life, property and the environment. Emergency management bodies mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from such events. Emergency response is a sum of decisions and actions taken through the collaboration and cooperation of many specialists from different disciplines. However, primary and secondary research findings suggest that there are limitations in the current information and communication technologies (leT), which affect the effectiveness

Abstract:

This project proposes a framework that identifies high‐value disaster-based information from social media to facilitate key decision-making processes during natural disasters. At present it is very difficult to differentiate between information that has a high degree of disaster relevance and information that has a low degree of disaster relevance. By digitally harvesting and categorising social media conversation streams automatically, this framework identifies highly disaster-relevant information that can be used by emergency services for intelligence gathering and decision-making.
