“…The modeling and design of a more effective emergency evacuation plan has been rigorously investigated using simulation programs [3,8,9,10] since the early studies dealing with traffic management under emergency conditions. These studies shared some similarities in traffic assignment procedures.…”

Abstract. This article presents a state-of-the-art review of di erent methods, signal and image processing techniques, and statistical analyses used for prediction and assessment of natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and oods. Application of the big data paradigm to the aforementioned natural disasters is also discussed. The research for increasingly more sophisticated computational models will continue to achieve more accurate predictions of various natural disasters.

“…In this paper we focus on preventive evacuation in which people (attempt) to leave the area prior to a flood. When an evacuation begins too late, not all evacuees may be able to leave the area or arrive at a safe destination in time [5,6,7,8]. The response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005 demonstrated that people and goods that can be moved might be saved by preventive evacuation, but nonmovable goods will nonetheless be affected by the flood, and the economic processes will come to a halt [2].…”

Abstract.Evacuation is a possible response to the threat of flooding. However, evacuation can be costly with respect to time, money, and credibility. The decision-making process for mass evacuation is characterised by short reaction times and requires consideration of the probability of a certain impact, possible life-and-death situations and the economic impact. Evacuation can also reduce loss of life. However the frequency of evacuation-events is higher than flood-events because decisions are made on forecasts based on critical water levels which are less than the expected level of failure. A better understanding of heuristics and biases can improve judgments and decisions in cases of uncertainty. Authorities have to make a trade-off between the costs and possible benefits of evacuation when the disaster occurs. Decision makers (in multiple teams) and crisis managers can simultaneously provide multiple frames of reference about a certain phenomenon. This paper describes a decision support method and case study for The Netherlands for the use of "evacuation diagrams" to support decision makers (and crisis managers) to call for evacuation and the role of uncertainties.
