Emergency Response Decision Support System

This book mainly addresses the Emergency Response Decision Support System (ERDSS) and its applications, making use of ten related modules and a number of key technologies, especially Disaster Assessing Technology, Adaptive Information Evaluation Technology and Knowledge Management Technology. The book is especially valuable in coping with disasters that result in the loss of human life and property, and which threaten the stability of our societies. The ERDSS enables people to prepare for potential incidents, to rapidly respond to them, and to cope with their aftermath. Presenting practical solutions, this book helps readers to understand the ERDSS and effectively respond to emergency events.

Offers a clear framework for an Emergency Response Decision Support System Includes an intelligent management system combined with the mining, knowledge management, UGC and other algorithms Provides two representative, practical examples to demonstrate the importance of the ERDSS Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
