The golden time and measure of agility during the emergency is that hour when the incident has occurred. Recovery and response should be served promptly to minimize the risk of losing life and property. Therefore this paper examines(analyze) and determines(clarifies) the concurrent(real time) application of Android, GIS, and web base system that is focusing on those exceptional areas where the ...

We use a coupled atmosphere-fire model to simulate a fire that occurred on August 14–17, 2009, in the Harmanli region, Bulgaria. Data was obtained from GIS and satellites imagery, and from standard atmospheric data sources. Fuel data was classified in the 13 Anderson categories. For correct fire behavior, the spatial resolution of the models needed to be fine enough to resolve the essential mic...

BACKGROUND Fallout containing asbestos from a factory fire at Tranmere, Wirral, England, landed on a highly populated urban area with an estimated 16000 people living in the area worst affected, which included a shipbuilding community. There was considerable public concern over the health impact of the acute environmental incident, and great media interest. METHODS A descriptive study was car...

In January 1990, three professional fire fighters combating a residential fire became unconscious and were brought out of the structure in full cardiac arrest—one was successfully resuscitated; two died. The IAFF contacted NIOSH in April, and a team (consisting of a physician, a respirator specialist, and an occupational safety and health specialist) conducted an investigation of the incident. ...

This study analyzed the spread of heat and smoke through a staircase during an initial fire incident, which is start evacuation. Real-scale experiments were conducted in mock-up, consisting corridor with dimensions 2.4(W) × 2.4(H) 10(L) m, three-story height 6 m at intervals 2.1 room 3.6(Depth) m. The involved chairs (#1) heptane pools (#2) as combustion sources. maximum temperature reached was...

Facility location problem involves locating a facility to optimize some performance measures. Location of a public facility to serve the community, such as a fire station, significantly affects its service quality. Main objective in locating a fire station is to minimize the response time, which is the time duration between receiving a call and reaching the place of incident. In metropolitan ar...

Recent advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Web of Things (WoT) accompany a smart life where real world objects, including sensing devices, are interconnected with each other. The Web representation of smart objects empowers innovative applications and services for various domains. To accelerate this approach, Web of Objects (WoO) focuses on the implementation aspects of bringin...

severe accidents of process industries in iran have increased significantly in recent decade. this study quantitatively analyzes the hazards of severe accidents imposed on people, equipment and building by a hydrogen production facility. a hazard identification method was applied. then a consequence simulation was carried out using phast 6.54 software package and at the end, consequence evaluat...

Decisions made by operational commanders at emergency incidents have been characterized as involving a period of information gathering followed by courses of action that are often generated without explicit plan formulation. We examined the efficacy of goal-oriented training in engendering explicit planning that would enable better communication at emergency incidents. While standard training m...
