Process Methodology for Emergency Management

Abstract

Abstract. Emergency management is represented by managerial functions which aim to reduce vulnerability to hazards and to cope with disasters. Emergencies often have direct impact on the environment. This paper focuses on identification and subsequent software support processes in the emergency management. The paper aims to describe a process methodology for emergency management in details. The methodology describes how to manage an information system development suitable for emergency management, which is built on business processes. The methodology consists of five main phases. Each phase is described in terms of individual activities, work products, and user roles. The next part of the paper recommends the use of particular technologies, tools and resources that have been successfully proved in the analysis of emergency situations in the Czech Republic. The straightforward outcome of the novel process methodology is more effective solution of emergency situations and therefore the reduction of negative environmental impacts.

Process Design Patterns in Emergency Management

“…If in need of automation, the methodology provides the instructions of how to further configure processes, how to add required data and services and subsequently how to interpret them through the workflow engine. For more information about process methodology, see (Ludík and Ráček, 2011a). Reference architecture -this provides a view and recommendation concerning the particular software components which can be used in process automation and, at the same time, it reflects the requirements resulting from emergency management processes.…”

“…internal factors and external factors. For more information about factors for implementation, see (Ludík and Ráček, 2011a).…”

The Use of Simulations for the Need of Environment Protection

“…For the solution of the scheduled objectives, especially Geographical Information Systems are used [4]. The overview of the most important information systems that are intended for education at the Department of Population Protection is in the table 1.…”

“…They can use selected simulation programs (such as Symos´97) and information systems of other entities connected to the network. Therefore, this will enable the sharing of information and practical experience across the whole spectrum of management and crisis management [4,6]. The system "Workplaces to support teaching of security management in a computer network" is implemented at interface with communication among different systems of crisis management entities.…”

Empirical Mode and Enlightenment on Urban Public Crisis Management of Developed Countries

“…Increasingly frequent urban public crisis put forward new challenges for governments work, the ability to effectively carry out the work of urban public crisis management has become an important measure of overall national strength. Research scholars from various countries will have to shift the focus from the political crisis to a public crisis in the past, and has made a series of important research results, provides a powerful theoretical support for national urban public crisis management [1,2]. Although the world's cultures and different national conditions, but in most countries, especially the developed countries on a common crisis management follow the "unified management, clear division of labor laws and improve the information flow, the people involved," the guiding ideology.…”
