This paper presents a multiple-rescue model for an emergency supply chain system under uncertainties in large-scale affected area of disasters. The proposed methodology takes into consideration that the rescue demands caused by a large-scale disaster are scattered in several locations; the servers are arranged in multiple echelons (resource depots, distribution centers, and rescue center sites)...

The need for the search, detection and rescue of disaster survivors arises in many emergency situations in military and civil applications. Suppose a number of people are trapped in ruins after an earthquake or tsunami. Their medical condition depends on their location, detection time and the time of the rescue operation. In order to efficiently detect and perform the needed rescue operations, ...

BACKGROUND Although the international guidelines emphasize early and systematic use of rescue intubation techniques, there is little evidence to support this notion. We aimed to test the hypothesis that preceding multiple failed intubation attempts are associated with a decreased success rate on the first rescue intubation in emergency departments (EDs). METHODS We analysed data from two mult...

A realistic rescue simulation method with consideration of road network restrictions is proposed. Decision making and emergency communication system play important roles in rescue process when emergency situations happen. The rescue process will be more effective if we have appropriate decision making method and accessible emergency communication system. In this paper, we propose centralized re...
