Information-rich maps are today rendered from powerful back-end servers. For instance, Google maps or Bing maps are web services that are resident on compute capable and energy hungry server class machines. Unfortunately, access to such Internet-resident web services is infeasible in disconnected environments such as a natural disaster. However, it is important to be able to disseminate map bas...

The “software crisis” was first acknowledged in the mid 1960s. Some would claim that the software crisis is still with us. A recent issue of Scientific American ran a story on the currently infamous software disaster at the new Denver international airport [1]. Software engineering has been heralded as the needed discipline that can improve software development to meet the needs of modern softw...

The concept of resilience is used in multiple scientific contexts, being understood according to several different perspectives. Essentially, resilience identifies the capability to recover, absorb shocks, and restore equilibrium after a perturbation. Recently, resilience is triggering increasing interest in engineering contexts, referring to communities and urban networked systems, as the capa...

Flood control risk is one of the main risks affecting safe operation large-scale water transfer projects. Systematically identifying flood in project and carrying out classification hierarchical management are problems for managers. Based on theory system assessment, this paper starts with various sources events involved whole process disaster chain, factors, exposure disaster-bearing body, vul...

Effective and efficient management of post-disaster damage loss data is a key component disaster risk reduction climate change adaptation policies to fulfil the requirements Sendai Framework, Sustainable Development Goals, more recently, European Climate Law. However, reality organized structured collection still in its infancy. In era rapid technological improvements, with overwhelming volumes...

introduction: disaster occurs almost daily in the world and increases the issue of it because of high volume of population, industrialization and acts of terrorism, my country is one of the most unexpected event areas of the world. health care systems encounter special challenges in disaster management, that they include triage and treatment a large number victims and also victims' information ...

Urban water and power supply networks with interdependent characteristics are essential components of urban infrastructures play an important role in maintaining the daily operations post-disaster recovery cities. The aim this study is to provide a method for researchers resilient cities build virtual according their basic physical mechanisms so that they can complete risk or resilience evaluat...

Human response to any adverse situation can be greatly enhanced through training and mind-body experience. Earthquake is one such phenomenon where human response to minimise injuries/deaths is constrained due to disorientation of the victims. People in regions with frequent earthquakes often exhibit better response due to past experience. Training of the mind and body can also be achieved in a ...
