Abstract

It is important to recognize emergency responders? needs during emergency response to workplace incidents in order to propose solutions to facilitate responders? tasks and resolve incidents in a timely manner. To understand emergency response procedures involved in workplace incidents, we interviewed McGill Safety personnel. We identify potential areas of improvement in their procedures, which help us to shape research objectives. We then propose methods to address these objectives. We focus our investigation on a spill scenario and briefly describe our mobile solution to assist in this use context.

Simulating distribution of emergency relief supplies for disaster response operations
WSC '09: Winter Simulation Conference

In the event of disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and terrorism, emergency relief supplies need be distributed to disaster victims in timely manner to protect the health and lives of the victims. We develop a modeling framework for disaster ...
Emergency response systems: research directions and current challenges
ICC '17: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Internet of things, Data and Cloud Computing

Emergency response is the most critical phase in emergency management. This primarily returns to the importance of direct interference right after the incident occurrence to save lives and protect properties. Therefore, decision making and resource ...
Chance Constraint Model for Unconventional Emergency Response
CSO '11: Proceedings of the 2011 Fourth International Joint Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization

Unconventional emergency occurs unexpectedly, therefore the response system for unconventional emergency has distinct difference from classical emergency event. In order to solve unconventional emergency response problem, chance constraint response ...
