Dynamic Early Warning Method for Major Hazard Installation Systems in Chemical Industrial Park

Hazard Warning Systems: Review

The United States has no comprehensive national warning strategy that covers all hazards in all places. Instead, public warning practices are decentralized across different governments and the private sector. Uneven preparedness to issue warnings exists across local communities; hence, people are unevenly protected from the surprise onset of natural disasters. Without changes in this situation,...

Early Warning Chemical Sensing

The nation faces a growing concern that terrorists or state actors will resort to the use of chemical or biological warfare agents against military or civilian targets. The primary defensive action available for this threat is to detect the deadly agents before they contact their intended victims. Given advance warning, people can evacuate a contaminated area, administer prophylactic medication...

Industrial waste management using the rapid impact assessment matrix method for an industrial park

 Due to the growth of population and industrialization, a great number of problems associated with producing industrial wastes have been created for both the environment and human beings. The industrial waste management in Brujen industrial park, located in the western part of Iran, has been investigated in this study using the environmental rapid impact assessment matrix techn...

Real-time Hazard Analysis for Earthquake Early Warning

Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS), based on real-time prediction of ground motion or structural response measures, may play a role in reducing vulnerability and/or exposition of buildings and lifelines. In fact, recently seismologists developed efficient methods for rapid estimation of event features by means of limited information of the P-waves. Then, when an event is occurring, probabi...
