Emergency Response Systems

In an emergency response system (ERS), resource matchmaking schema (RMS) consists of emergency impact assessment, resource utility classification and mapping between impact and utility. These tasks serve the resource allocation and must be done before launching rescue activities. However, related concepts and relations have little explication. Consequently, an adequate knowledge structure is necessary. In this paper, a domain ontology for RMS (RMS_Ontology) is formally defined, on which impact-utility mapping and rule-based reasoning process are implemented. Based on the ontology defined, the authors illustrate how RMS is realized and the way reasoning process works in the ERS application of highway network under severe weather conditions. Finally, a prototype system has been developed to facilitate knowledge management and to improve the performance of emergency disposal procedures.

Emergency Response Systems

Cyber war and cyber terrorism is real and is being waged. Cyber terrorists and cyber warriors are attacking systems and succeeding in their attacks. This requires management to prepare for the worst case, the loss and destruction of critical data and systems. This chapter helps management prepare for this worst case by discussing how to design and build emergency response systems. These systems are used to respond to worst case attacks. Additionally, these systems are useful for responding to other disasters that can cause the loss of systems and data. This chapter presents research into emergency response systems and concludes with a model of what an emergency response system should consist of.

Emergency Response Systems

European Union is a union of sovereign democratic countries which commonly agreed to integrate and, depending on the area, cooperate towards achieving better quality of life of European citizens. In the case of safety and security, since it is still national domain mainly, rather cooperation than integration aspect is prevailing. Since threats do not respect administrative borders it is the most important to do as much as possible for the cooperation improvement which, in fundamentals, could be done by knowing and understanding each other’s national civil protection and emergency response systems. Things are getting even more complicated if the object of scientific inquires in this respect is a country which is actually a federation of autonomous states as in the case of Spain or Germany. Then the national system as a matter of fact is being composed of a few or even several autonomous regional systems which are constituted and regulated on the regional level of the federation. This type of situation results from the historical, political, geographical backgrounds and due to many more reasons, however, it is always good to put a question how such systems operate in case of emergency? In order to present a synthetic description of the Spanish civil protection and emergency response system scientific methods of cognition such as the critical analysis of legal acts and normative documents as well as synthesis were used in the research. The study concluded with the future challenges for the system which should be undertaken to improve its efficiency.

Responding to disasters and crises is a crucial role for the government to ensure the public safety of society. Responding lies in the counter of crimes of civil or disorders, providing the urgent medical care to injured or sick people, and providing relief of natural and manmade disasters. Despite ongoing attempts to improve emergency response systems in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, it still suffers from vulnerability.  With the current development of the technology and internet of things (IoT), it became necessary to apply these techniques for improving emergency response systems in Jeddah. In this paper, we present Jeddah Smart Emergency Response System (JSERS) as a solution to improve the emergency response system in Jeddah using smart city technologiesز First, we discussed the problems related to the response to accidents and disasters and their history in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, especially Jeddah. Consequently, we described the proposed solution, followed by the architecture of the system. Following by the opportunities and the challenges of system implementation are discussed. Finally, a list of suggestions that supports this system implementation and deployment is reported.

Kasus kebakaran di Rumah Sakit masih tergolong tinggi dan ini sangat merugikan baik untuk pihak Rumah Sakit maupun pengunjung atau pasien yang berobat. maka diperlukan sistem tanggap darurat yang baik dalam menghadapi situasi darurat terutama kebakaran, maka dari itu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sistem tanggap darurat kebakaran serta bagaimana implementasi prosedur operasional tanggap darurat (emergency response and preparedness) Rumah Sakit 3M Plus. Jenis Penelitian ini adalah observasional dengan pendekatan kualitatif analitik. Analisa yang digunakan adalah triangulasi sumber, metode dan data. Data yang disajikan dalam bentuk matriks dan narasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem tanggap darurat seperti simulasi kebakaran, sarana penyelamatan, dan kesesuaian penerapan APAR masi perlu dievaluasi dan perlu dibenahi kembali agar menjadi sebuah tindakkan yang tepat sewaktu terjadinya kebakaran. Serta masih ada beberapa yang belum sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) maupun permen PU. Sistem proteksi pasif seperti titik kumpul, pintu darurat, tangga darurat tidak memadai. Fire cases in the hospital are still high and this is very detrimental to both the hospital and visitors or patients who seek treatment. Therefore, a good emergency response system is needed in dealing with emergency situations, especially fires, therefore the purpose of this study is to determine the fire emergency response system and how to implement emergency response and preparedness procedures for 3M Plus Hospital. This type of research is observational with a qualitative analytic approach. The analysis used was the triangulation of sources, methods and data. Data presented in the form of a matrix and narrative. The results showed that emergency response systems such as fire simulations, rescue facilities, and suitability of the application of APAR still need to be evaluated and need to be reorganized so that they become an appropriate action when a fire occurs. And there are still some that are not in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) and PU candy. Passive protection systems such as gathering points, emergency exits, emergency stairs are inadequate.

The individual considerations of frail women who are elderly as to the use of personal emergency response systems (PERS) are discussed within this article, and they derived from a larger longitudinal study that explores the home care experience of older widows. Participants were 11 frail women (aged 81-94) who perceived a risk of “falling and not being found” and did not have a PERS. A descriptive phenomenological method was used to analyze PERS-related data obtained during interviews with each woman in her home. With regard to considering the use of a PERS, experiences were structured variously by “getting by fine without it,” “waiting to get it until I really need it,” “convincing myself that I might get it later,” and “borrowing no more trouble than I already have.” Consistent interventions by home care professionals may perhaps be needed to increase PERS utilization rates. To develop effective interventions, further descriptive research is deemed necessary to explore draw-backs and barriers to PERS use by older frail women.

Over the past years several, less or more integrated emergency management support and information systems have been developed and implemented. After a short review of the larger, mainly governmentally sponsored systems and of a selection from the smaller commercially available systems, the computer aided emergency response system (CAERS) of the Belgian Nuclear Energy Research Centre is highlighted.
