Examining Coordination In Disaster Response Using Simulation Methods

Abstract

Purpose of the research is to examine coordination in disaster response by computer simulation using Petri net. We addressed issues on coordination in disaster response by focusing on interorganizational processes. Defining the processes according to disaster exercise, we developed the model based on Stochastic Petri Net. Index items, including average delay time and busyness probability, were introduced to facilitate discussion. Simulation demonstrated utilization of process analysis in performance assessment of collaborative disaster response. Since fragmentation is critical factor hindering efficient response, its remedy or elimination should be focused for system optimization.
