Disaster Management for City 2.0

1. DisasterManagement for City 2.0 Chun-Yu Lin1, Chung-Chih Wu1, Chun-Yen Lin1, Chun-Yi Lee1 Adviser: Tsung-Hsien Chu1 National Yunlin University of Science and Technology1 YunTech Background Automatic Response Emergency APP Disaster Management System Subscribe Alert Messages • In recent years, the effect of natural disaster becomes more and more serious. Therefore, developing an effective disaster rescue model is an important issue, especially for high population cities. But modern disaster information system still has the following issues should be solved. • Can’t send a large number of alert messages to people. • Can’t let building responds disaster automatically. • Can’t collect disaster information effectively when a serious disaster occurred. To follow the rule of CAP message, we let user subscribe a cloud based system called Pubnub. We can send CAP messages to each subscriber though Pubnub. It let the sending capability of our server up to 100,000 messages at the same time. Route Threaten Area Path Crowd User Interface Command Center Location Limitations Broadcast CAP messages to subscriber [1] RIS working process flow Cannot Deliver Customized Alert Messages Auto Respond Disaster Flow Earthquake In modern central weather bureau website, we can watch a lots of weather information. When a disaster happen, website also broadcast newest disaster information in a short term. But no one can watches these disaster information all the time. Let people can accept these information is better. Tornadoes iMRS is an intelligence monitoring and response system, specially designed for citizens to secure their safety when disaster happened. iMRS can automatically control devices to protect people without dead. If some one is trapped in building, iMRS let alarm went off to notice office rescuer knows someone still trapped in building. iMRS can also let user see their status of building to reassure user. ? Fire Open disaster info map Dispatch task to participants Water flood Typhoon User may not see alert messages all the time Return disaster info back CAP message acceptable Cannot Respond to Alert Messages Our Contributions To set a powerful monitoring system in a building is more and more popular in recent year. A standard monitoring system includes a monitor server and some camera. Some monitoring system even can monitoring the status of building. [6] • Accept alert message automatically • Respond disaster alert automatically • Monitoring system with cloud control • Active disaster information collection model • Rescue location assign and path planning • Crowdsourcing based disaster information system • Open disaster information map • Speed up the rescue process • Reduce mortality rate after serious disaster happen iMRS process flow Crowdsourcing-based Rescue Crowdsourcing Flow Conclusion A sensor data collection crowdsourcing process carries out three steps. First, the command center broadcasts a data collection request to a crowd via popular social networks (e.g. facebook, twitter, MSN, etc.) Second, the command center plans an exploration path [10] for each participant in the crowd. Third, the paths are sent to the crowd. [5] We developed iMRS that can able to accept CAP messages to solve the issue that can’t accept alert massages all the time. And we let iMRS can control devices to reduce the loss of building when a disaster happened. Then We proposed a Web 2.0 disaster information aid system called RIS to help victims directly contact with rescuers and plan the area and path for volunteers to assist the collect disaster condition. In the future, we plan to integrate our system into current official disaster management system. Finally, the mortality rate can be reduced. Modern Monitoring System [2][3] Cannot Collect Information in Major Disasters Modern monitoring system can’t detect disasters (e.g., Earthquake, Typhoon). And they can’t respond disaster automatically. If a disaster happen, a monitoring system should help collect information of building as possible and send these data back to RIS for rescuing people.
