In this paper, the relations between emergency management and GIS-aided decision support system will be explained.In addition to this, some information will be given about (S)DSS structures, the role of SDSS in emergency management, and applications related to GIS-aided spatial decision support systems.

This paper presents a novel approach that includes an interaction organization pattern for Multi-agent Systems (MASs) in crisis management, abstracted from several existing case studies in which the agents follow a sequence of interactions and the organization must optimize the use of human resources..

review of behavioral model paradigms and their application in travel and wayfinding along with the review of 53 activity-based models have been conducted

A discrete event simulation model that mimics the hurricane season is built using Arena® Simulation Software

Case study (Goal of the emergency response management is to evacuate the victims as quick as possible with respect to their treatment needs.Geographical information and knowledge of the Networked Safe Service System is given. Traffic and transportation systems at the time of the disaster are given.In total, there are about 1500 victims who need to be evacuated through the city transportation system, among which 500 victims need be sent to the hospitals for treatment in different degrees, and 1000 victims need be sent to safe places.Each service system has a limited capacity and limited resource, which are given.Three hospitals in the city can share information and resources.Each hospital works at its capacity and can increase its capacity by 10% within 1 h.

Case 1:EMS provides emergency medical treatments on a portion of an interstate highway connecting the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de JaneiroCase 2:This EMS has five fixed bases along the two busy highways which intersect, and each base has one ambulance.

This paper presents the results from a project that developed and tested emergency response scenarios for the Birmingham, Alabama USA. region.The main objective of this study is to develop a regional simulation model and use it to evaluate different emergency response procedures.

Panel of experts who provided advice the entire process of selecting and refining the AHP multiple layer of factors.Delphi method, to elicit preliminary lists of first and second-level factors.

Two international workshops to solicit feedback from experts, where incident exercise scenarios were used to explore good practices, unmet needs, and success factors in exposure assessment, with particular focus on cross-border incidents.

Analyze the expected performance of response operations and to see how the urban highway network of Istanbul would perform during an anticipated major earthquake in the region
