Natural disaster is one of the important topics in current researches. Disaster Management System (DMS) is a complex system and needs to perform a collection of tasks collaboratively along with the potentiality to change the configurations of the system dynamically. In the research era of workflow model, existing models mainly deal with temporal and static constrains. However they cannot be used to keep pace with an uncertainly dynamic system like disaster management. Considering all these significant DMS attributes we have designed a new dynamically configurable and changeable workflow model with the support of adaptive scheduling, for both successful and failed situations, and implemented in a distributed cloud system to maintain the rescue and reorganization activities of disaster situation. In order to simplify the system architecture, we have used Multi Agent System (MAS) for our design. The proposed system achieves a comparatively higher rate of successful job completion-higher rescheduling success rate and comparatively lower dropout rate.

Increasing Demand

There is an increasing demand for establishing pre-emptive measures for disaster management. However, there is a lack of support systems available for vulnerable individuals living in disaster-prone regions in Korea. This study constructs a multi-agent simulation model to analyze the evacuation time for Dongnae district and Yeonje district in Busan, Korea. In disaster-prone regions, vulnerable people experience difficulties, such as, obtaining updated information about the disaster situation, and this reduces their evacuation speed. Additionally, there is a possibility that the evacuation speed, while evacuating vulnerable people, may decrease due to environmental and geographic factors, including the slope and elevation of the areas. Therefore, this section of the society requires special attention and policies that are different from those made for people who may not face such calamities and are physically abled. An analysis based on factors such as road slopes and delays in evacuation due to flooding, was conducted to formulate realistic evacuation plans for people who are vulnerable. The location of shelters in the case of flooding in Dongnae and Yeonje district, have been better identified. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the evacuation time could be reduced if wide-area evacuation is implemented. This study provides a base for developing suitable shelters and evacuation plans for disaster-prone regions.

Military Forces

In frequent humanitarian emergencies during the last decades, military forces increasingly have been engaged through provision of equipment and humanitarian assistance, and through peace-support operations. The objective of this study was to evaluate how military resources could be used in disaster preparedness as well as in disaster management and relief.
