An Evaluation Model of Medical Transport With Tsunami Early Warning System

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The Japanese Central Disaster Management Council announced a new damage estimate in the event of an earthquake with its epicenter in the Nankai Trough. The estimate shows the huge human damage. However, they mentioned the possibility of minimizing the casualty count by constant preparation for prompt evacuation to higher places in the event of a tsunami. This study aims to develop a reliability analysis model for medical transport activity considering a tsunami risk. The model includes a risk evaluation model developed to evaluate medical transport activity when a tsunami early warning system can be used. By applying it to Chita Peninsula in Japan, it is demonstrated that the proposed model effectively implements the evacuation and medical transport planning. Some proposals are given for the road network in the area.

A Policy Model of Preparedness the General Hospital in Reducing Victims of Earthquake and Tsunami Disasters in Siberut Mentawai Island, Indonesia

“…In addition, the Mentawai Islands Regency is located on a relatively weak Asian plate. The western part of the Mentawai Islands is composed of steep topography, due to the process of lifting due to the collision between the Asian plate and the Australian plate [16]. Based on this, the Mentawai Islands Regency has the potentially for large earthquakes, and can cause significant casualties.…”

A Comparison of Parallel Branch and Bound Algorithms for Location-Transportation Problems in Humanitarian Relief

“…Moreover, most research topics have emphasized designing a disaster management framework, such as the study appearing in [4]. Few research papers have focused on constructing a disaster response operation framework and application, which aims to determine a solution based on numerical data by using a mathematical method, such as [5] and [6].…”
