A reassessment and review of the Bam earthquake five years onward: what was done wrong?

This article highlights flaws in management in the variousaspects of this disaster in order to assess what was done, and what shouldbe done to overcome these shortcomings in future disasters

A Review of Critical Infrastructure Interdependency Simulation and Modelling for the Caribbean.

This paper contextualises the role of CII simulation as part of a complete disaster and emergency management programme, and reviews the state-of-the-art as pertains to utilisation of such tools among Caribbean emergency management agencies (EMAs).

A risk assessment tool for improving safety standards and emergency management in Italian onshore wind farms

What are the crucial factors for optimizing the emergency management process in onshore wind farms in Italy?

A service oriented architecture for decision support systems in environmental crisis management

How to integrate heterogeneous geospatial data of different types and format, real time geospatial data streaming and filtering, as well as incorporation of a plethora of new added-value services that allow, not only mash-ups of geospatial data (useful towards an event-based presentation and prediction), but also simulation of natural phenomena and decision making mechanisms.

A Simulation Tool for Examining the Effect of Communications on Disaster Response in the Oil and Gas Industry.

This paper presents a framework for examining the way in which communication system availability, quality, and user engagement affect delays in disaster response.

A Socio-Physical Approach to Systemic Risk Reduction in Emergency Response and Preparedness.

This paper proposes using a socio-physical view of a system, for emergency response and preparedness, to increase situational awareness and thereby reduce systemic risk.

A survey of the practice of nurses' skills in Wenchuan earthquake disaster sites: implications for disaster training.

Determine nursing skills most relevant for nurses participating in disaster response medical teamsMake recommendations to enhance training of nurses who will be first responders to a disaster siteImprove the capacity of nurses to prepare and respond to severe natural disasters

A virtual reality based fire training simulator integrated with fire dynamics data

Propose a framework for interfacing reliable three-dimensional CFD simula tion results into real-time virtual reality systems so that they can be utilized in the development of similar, engineering-based training simulators.

An assessment of activity-based modeling and simulation for applications in operational studies, disaster preparedness, and homeland security

Objective:In order to discuss features needed for homeland security modeling, a review of behavioral model paradigms and their application in travel and wayfinding along with the review of 53 activity-based models have been conducted. Twoexamples of homeland security studies are included to highlight these needs.

An emergency logistics response system for natural disasters.

The objective of this research is to develop an Emergency Response Model (ERM) that can be used by offices of emergency preparedness to evaluate response capabilities, to assess the logistics challenges in the event of natural disaster and to perform what-if analysis on the threat of a weather disturbance system.
