The text is organized into four parts. Part I provides an introductory discussion of disaster management including an overview of the main terms used. Part II is devoted to the introduction of systems theory, mathematical formalization and classification of methods. The material presented in this section should be of practical relevance during the process of selecting an appropriate tool for the solution of a problem. Part III is technical in nature, providing a simulation approach and a detailed description of system dynamics simulation. This section details two areas of application: flood evacuation simulation, and disaster risk assessment. Part IV ends with a chapter covering steps to improve disaster management. Finally parts of the book can be used as a tool for specialized short courses for practitioners. For example a course on ′System analysis for emergency management optimization′ could be based on Chapters 3, 4 and parts of Chapter 6.
Included in the book is a CD with three computer programs Vensim PLE, LINPRO, and COMPRO. Vensim PLE (Personal Learning Edition) is state–of–the–art simulation software used for the implementation of system dynamics simulation. The other two programs are: LINPRO, a linear programming optimization tool; and COMPRO, for the implementation of the multi–objective analysis tool of compromise programming.

Description du produit
Revue de presse
"As such, the book emphasises the significant contribution that science and engineering can make in the management of disasters and it is a valuable addition to the disaster management bibliography." (Natural Hazards, 1 April 2012)
Quatrième de couverture
Proper management in the face of a natural or technological disaster necessitates a transformation of attitude toward integration of economic, social, and environmental concerns related to disasters, and of the actions necessary to deal with them. Recent trends in confronting disasters include consideration of the entire region under threat, explicit consideration of all costs and benefits, elaboration of a large number of alternatives to reduce the damages, and the greater participation of all stakeholders in decision–making. Systems approaches based on simulation, optimization, and multi–objective analyses have great potential for providing appropriate support for effective disaster management in this emerging context. This systems approach to managing disasters is the focus of this book, which outlines proven strategies for pooling interdisciplinary resources more efficiently to boost emergency responses. An invaluable reference, Systems Approach to Managing Disasters illustrates how a systems approach to management of disasters can be the difference maker in times of crisis. Systems Approach to Managing Disasters:
Includes a CD with worked examples and state–of–the–art simulation, optimization, and multi–objective analyses computer programs
Discusses the methodologies and use of the systems tools vital to solving real disaster management problems
Directs readers to a companion Web site with additional exercises and solutions as well as applications that can be shared among the users of the book
Organized into four parts covering every aspect of managing disasters, Systems Approach to Managing Disasters draws on the fields of operations research, and economics, to create the skills necessary for solving complex disaster management problems.
