Download or read book Information Systems for Emergency Management written by Bartel Van De Walle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most current and comprehensive overview available today of the critical role of information systems in emergency response and preparedness. It includes contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and industry researchers, and covers all phases of disaster management - mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. 'Foundational' chapters provide a design framework and review ethical issues. 'Context' chapters describe the characteristics of individuals and organizations in which EMIS are designed and studied. 'Case Study' chapters include systems for distributed microbiology laboratory diagnostics to detect possible epidemics or bioterrorism, humanitarian MIS, and response coordination systems. 'Systems Design and Technology' chapters cover simulation, geocollaborative systems, global disaster impact analysis, and environmental risk analysis. Throughout the book, the editors and contributors give special emphasis to the importance of assessing the practical usefulness of new information systems for supporting emergency preparedness and response, rather than drawing conclusions from a theoretical understanding of the potential benefits of new technologies.
Download or read book Community Right to know and Emergency Planning Using Computers to Conduct Hazards Analysis written by Jane C. Bare and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper discusses the process of hazards analysis and the basic building blocks of systems used for data storage, retrieval, correlation, and analysis, to better inform people choosing and/or evaluating the systems. The remainder of the paper discusses: (1) the process of hazards analysis, including the three basic steps of hazard identification, vulnerability analysis, and risk analysis, performed in two phases--screening and planning; and (2) three basic building blocks of these computer systems--database management, mathematical capabilities, and graphical capabilities. All discussion relates to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (Title III of the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act--SARA) and its application to facilities handling designated chemicals in excess of specified quantities.

Download or read book Computer Supported Risk Management written by Giampiero Beroggi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in information technology provide opportunities for the development of computer systems that support risk managers in complex tasks. Leading experts report on the potentials and limitations concerning the use of computer systems in risk management. Their reports are based on many years of experience in their fields which include: risk analysis, systems engineering, geographic information systems, decision support systems, human--machine systems, and psychology. The book addresses four major issues in computer supported risk management: Conceptual aspects: the role, design, and use of computers in risk management Planning and policy analysis: transportation, equity analysis, emergency management, group decision making Operational decision making: nuclear power monitoring, emergency response, public safety warning, satellite tracking Commercial applications: GIS from IIASA, InterClair from IAEA, EPA software, cleanup decision support software survey. This book is meant for researchers, who will find the emerging issues in risk management that are motivated by the encounter of new tasks and novel technology; practitioners who will have descriptions and references of the state-of-the-art models and software; and students who will learn the basic concepts needed to develop advanced information and decision support systems in risk management.

This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention, preparedness, response and recovery--the key components of emergency planning--form the major sections of this work. The book first describes PSM (Process Safety Management) as the key to prevention, then goes on to consider the main features of a preparedness program, including recognizing credible incidents, planning practical strategy to deal with these incidents, selecting necessary physical support systems and equipment, and developing a complete emergency response plan. The Response section presents the functions implemented during an actual emergency and concludes with a section on managing cleanup and restoration of operations. The many tables and figures include Sample Incident Command System Plans for both large and small organizations, OSHA and EPA regulations affecting planning, sample Fire Emergency Action Levels, HAZMAT Responder Levels, and OSHA Emergency Training Requirements.

Download or read book Emergency Response to Chemical Spills Database written by W. Brock Neely and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-05-11 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The amount of chemicals moved by barge, rail, or truck in the United States will more than double by the year 2000. Correspondingly, the number of accidental discharges can be expected to increase as well. Emergency Response to Chemical Spills is a computer software package designed to help predict the concentration profiles of spilled chemicals in the air, water, or on the ground. Algorithms for estimating concentrations, in addition to a database containing 150 common industrial and agricultural chemicals, are included in the program. Physical and biological data for each chemical are provided in addition to interpretive statements that deal with flammability, solubility, volatility, and "safe" concentration levels. A chemical editor allows users to prepare their own data bases for chemicals not included with the program. For discharges into water, Emergency Response to Chemical Spills can estimate the fraction of a chemical that goes into solution. For all spills, dispersion forces are estimated based on established procedures. The program also features state-of-the-art techniques for modeling evaporation and estimating the extent of slick on the surface of the water. Emergency Response to Chemical Spills runs on IBM® or IBM-compatible equipment with DOS 3.0 or higher and at least 512k RAM. Emergency Response to Chemical Spills will be an important predictive tool for hazardous material first-responders, fire departments, federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, occupational health and safety professionals, city and county managers, state emergency planning organizations, hazardous material transporters, and consultants.
