“…Limiting the chi-square test to two categorical variables (pairwise comparison of layouts), only the hierarchical and circular layouts result in a rejection of the null hypothesis ( χ 2 (8, N = 546) = 26.92, p = 0.0007). These results demonstrate that either the eigenvector centrality of a node [how closely it is connected to other prominent nodes within the network (Zhao et al , 2019)] did not influence how respondents selected nodes or, if it was employed, the layout of the graph did influence node selection. These results cannot differentiate between these two potential causes.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the use of data visualization as a tool to support practitioner-led organizational learning within the emergency services. The authors investigate how data visualization can support visual communication and the analysis of emergency response data to promote system improvement. Design/methodology/approach The authors investigate if communication data, presented as node-link diagrams, can be understood and evaluated by firefighters. Objective understanding of the communication network is measured quantitatively, while subject judgement of the emergency response system is measured qualitatively and compared to prior system evaluation outcomes. The authors compare different data visualization layouts and assess their value in supporting practitioner evaluation of emergency response systems. Findings The authors find that while firefighters are largely unfamiliar with their use, data visualizations function as a tool for visual communication and analysis. The authors identify the importance of visualization design and the difficulty in representing characteristics of a dynamic network within static diagrams. The authors also find some correlation between layout design and how respondents interpret visual data. Originality/value Results demonstrate the value of data visualization to support practitioner-led organizational learning and suggest future work to support the development of emergency response management.

“…Le et al [28] simulated and analyzed different tsunami emergency plans based on a process modelling approach while considering the textual plan in order to represent emergency plans in a more formal way. Zhao et al [29] applied process mining techniques to improve emergency planning for chemical spills, and considered a fuzzy mining algorithm to reconstruct the drill process for analysing workflows. Guo et al [30] proposed a novel text similarity measure from the perspective of process description; they considered process-related semantic features, including the extraction of response levels, task statements, departments and roles.…”

A Dynamic Emergency Plan Generation Method Considering Different Situations and Limited Resources

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

When an emergency event occurs, emergency plans are usually employed to respond the emergency situations in order to prevent or mitigate possible losses of life and property. Therefore, emergency plans play an important and indispensable part in emergency decision-making. With regard to the question of how to generate emergency plans, extant studies have discussed the problem from various perspectives, and fruitful results have been obtained. Dynamic evolution is a typical feature of emergency events, and usually involves the updating of related information regarding an emergency event. Existing studies have considered dynamic evolution during the emergency plan generation process only from a single perspective, neglecting the related need to update information as dynamic evolution occurs. Information related to the emergency event plays a vital role in the emergency plan generation process, and needs to be considered. To overcome these limitations, the present study proposes a novel dynamic emergency plan generation method based on integer linear programming, which considers different emergency situations and limited resources. An illustrative example and descriptive comparisons are provided to demonstrate the novelty, superiority, and validity of the proposed method.

The meteorological disasters have brought destructive damages all around the world in the past decades. These disasters have posed great threats to sustainable development. It is necessary to evaluate meteorological disaster risk to make corresponding emergency measures. The process is uncertain and fuzzy regarding the experts’ preferences. To deal with the problem, a novel evaluation approach based on PROMETHEE method and probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) is firstly proposed. First of all, PLTS is adopted to express preferences’ of experts. Then, the weights of criteria are obtained by the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, and steps of the method are proposed. Finally, the proposed method is used to evaluate the whole meteorological disaster risk in the southeast coastal areas of China and results have verified the effectiveness of the method. By comparing with some similar methods, results have demonstrated the advantages of the approach.
