TLDR
In this paper, the authors propose a framework for integration of modeling, simulation, and visualization tools for emergency response, which will significantly improve the nation's capability in the emergency response area.Abstract:
A number of modeling and simulation tools have been developed and more are being developed for emergency response applications. The available simulation tools are meant mostly for standalone use. Addressing an emergency incident requires addressing multiple interdependent aspects of the situation. The simulation tools addressing different aspects of an emergency situation need to be integrated to provide the whole picture to planners, trainers, and responders. A framework is required to ensure that modeling and simulation tools can be systematically integrated together to address the overall response. This paper proposes a framework for integration of modeling, simulation, and visualization tools for emergency response. The development and implementation of the proposed framework will significantly improve the nation's capability in the emergency response area.read more
