Abstract

Flood is a common natural disaster and has happened frequently in decade years with a huge number of fatalities and property damages. These hazards typically necessitate the evacuation of local or regional populations to safe destinations or shelters and require a cooperation and interdependent relationship of several departments and organizations. This paper proposes that an urban evacuation management system framework for a deluge catastrophe can be modeled through the relationships between five components of interest: 1) evacuation road-network service capability; 2) human risk-attitude; 3) public or private decision; 4) weather and flood disaster monitoring; 5) inter-transit between city systems. We extract data from the strategies and propose a framework for residential evacuation management. This framework model is set up to help the local government quickly model the situation of the whole evacuation procedures and progresses to choose an optimum alternative from all the solutions and by identifying potential bottlenecks on traffic evacuation network and allocating resources reasonably to evacuate residents more safely and economically.
