The measurement of rainfall data during disaster periods is an important task. Unfortunately, some rainfall data will be missed owing to unpredictable factors. Therefore, this study first collected the hourly rainfall records from past disaster events. Next, a statistic cluster analysis method was used to analyse the correlation between the rainfall records in each station. Finally, a spatial interpolation computing method was applied within each cluster to predict reliable rainfall estimates for the areas that lacked past rainfall records. The cluster analysis results showed that selecting the nearby three to four rainfall stations for the spatial interpolation analysis simplified the calculation process. In particular, the result of grouped cluster analysis could enhance the accuracy of the rainfall estimation in the mountainous areas. This study established a reliable rainfall estimation method as a basis for future regional disaster analysis.
灾害期间降雨资料的测量是一项重要的工作。不幸的是,由于不可预测的因素,一些降雨数据将会丢失。因此,本研究首先收集了过去灾害事件的每小时降雨量记录。其次,采用统计聚类分析方法对各站点降水记录进行相关性分析。最后,在每个聚类中应用空间插值计算方法,对缺乏过去降雨记录的地区进行可靠的降雨预测。聚类分析结果表明,选取附近的3 ~ 4个雨量站进行空间插值分析,简化了计算过程。其中,分组聚类分析的结果可以提高山区降水估算的精度。本研究建立了可靠的降雨估算方法,为今后的区域灾害分析奠定了基础。

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the need for collaboration between two areas of research: classical psychological helping behaviours and emergency warnings. A large-scale disaster (i.e., the Chicago Heat Wave) is used throughout the paper as an example in which knowledge of the helping behaviour literature could have assisted emergency responders. The emergency warning literature is reviewed within the context of people heeding the warnings and deciding to share the information with others. Developments in the helping literature are reviewed, along with a final summary of key lessons from this area of experimental research that can help answer questions for future emergency responders. With a better understanding of experimental findings in the area of prosocial behaviours, emergency managers may be better able to assist their communities. Likewise, a greater collaboration between these two fields may lead to more research with the intent of improving emergency response.
本文的目的是证明两个研究领域之间合作的必要性:经典心理帮助行为和紧急警报。一场大规模的灾难(即芝加哥热浪)在整篇论文中都被用作一个例子,在这个例子中,帮助行为文献的知识可以帮助紧急救援人员。在人们听取警告并决定与他人分享信息的背景下,对紧急警报文献进行了审查。本文回顾了帮助文献的发展,并最后总结了这一实验研究领域的主要经验教训,这些经验教训有助于回答未来应急人员的问题。对亲社会行为领域的实验结果有了更好的了解,应急管理人员可能能够更好地帮助他们的社区。同样,这两个领域之间的更大合作可能导致更多旨在改进应急反应的研究。

Little scholarly attention has been devoted to understanding command and control practices among incident commanders and the extent to which these practices contribute to response safety and efficiency. This paper examines incident command and control practices of 23 battalion chiefs from a Dutch Fire Service during realistic exercises using largely identical scenarios. A helmet-mounted camera in conjunction with field observation was used to gather data. The results show that although incident command and control practices varied in detail, the strategies used were largely the same. No relationship was discovered between incident command and control practices and response safety and efficiency. A reason for the lack of significance of the command and control function was that battalion chiefs relied essentially on information and advice given by crew commanders, which did not provide a basis for insights other than those already present among crew commanders. Implications for practice are provided.
学术界很少关注了解事件指挥官的指挥和控制实践,以及这些实践在多大程度上有助于应对安全和效率。本文研究了荷兰消防局23名营长在实际演习中使用基本相同的场景进行事故指挥和控制的做法。使用了一台头盔式摄像机和实地观察相结合的方法来收集数据。结果表明,尽管事件指挥和控制实践在细节上有所不同,但所使用的策略基本相同。未发现事件指挥和控制实践与响应安全和效率之间存在任何关系。指挥和控制职能缺乏重要性的一个原因是,营长主要依赖机组指挥官提供的信息和建议,而这些信息和建议并没有为机组指挥官中已有的见解之外的见解提供基础。提供了对实践的启示。

The average recurrence interval of major earthquakes is approximately a century. Consequently, the existing data are insufficient for an accurate estimation of average losses. The main objective of this research is to study the disaster-prone characteristics of hotels by using modern concepts of risk management (i.e., loss exceedance probability analysis, seismic hazard analysis and so on) and then combine the relevant basic research data from domestic and foreign sources to develop a seismic risk assessment and management system suitable for the hospitality industry. The proposed seismic risk management and risk evaluation system will also provide governments, hotel asset owners, insurance companies and banks in Taiwan that have similar regional characteristics with the necessary seismic risk information to help the tourism industry effectively evaluate and manage the natural disaster risk.
大地震的平均复发间隔约为一个世纪。因此,现有的数据不足以准确估计平均损失。本研究的主要目的是运用现代风险管理的概念(如损失超出概率分析、地震危害分析等),研究酒店的易发灾害特征,并结合国内外相关基础研究数据,开发出适合酒店行业的地震风险评估与管理体系。提出的地震风险管理与风险评估系统,也将为台湾地区具有相似区域特征的政府、酒店资产所有者、保险公司和银行提供必要的地震风险信息,以帮助旅游业有效地评估和管理自然灾害风险。

Setting priorities of sectors in an emergency intervention is an important unit to improve the healthcare management of a city. The goal of this paper is to prioritise sectors in Rabat region of Morocco when two or more emergency calls are received in call centres of hospitals using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). This prioritisation is based on social, demographic and proximity criteria that lead to rank the 10 sectors of the region. The paper shows that the proposed AHP methodology is consistent and allows a real ranking of Rabat sectors.
在应急干预中确定部门优先级是提高城市卫生管理水平的重要环节。本文的目标是在摩洛哥拉巴特地区,当医院呼叫中心使用层次分析过程(AHP)收到两个或更多紧急呼叫时,优先考虑部门。这种优先顺序是基于社会、人口和邻近标准,从而对该地区的10个部门进行排名。本文表明,提出的AHP方法是一致的,并允许一个真正的拉巴特部门排名。

Terrorist attacks with explosive weapons: pattern of injuries and health constraints 使用爆炸性武器的恐怖袭击:伤害模式和健康限制
IF 0.2 Q3 Medicine Pub Date : 2018-01-11 DOI: 10.1504/IJEM.2018.089165

Terrorist attacks are on the rise and aim to create vast damage and large numbers of injured people. Explosive weapons became the predominant ordnance for terror-related events and more countries have to deal with the aftermaths of bombing incidents. These attacks can create mass-casualty emergencies and trigger complex pattern of injuries. This paper utilises eligible secondary literature to review these patterns of injuries and discusses the constraints for health systems. It appears that fragments of explosive weapons trigger the highest number of injuries. Subsequently, the predominant injuries can be researched in penetrating trauma and complex bone fractures. Triage can be researched as a key-task after terror-related bombings to minimise mortality amongst survivors. A close collaboration of all involved health staff will be required to adapt to bombing events. Additional training for health staff might be needed to adapt to terror bombings and the civilian health structure might benefit from experi...
恐怖袭击正在上升,目的是造成巨大的破坏和大量的受伤人员。爆炸性武器成为恐怖事件的主要武器,越来越多的国家不得不处理爆炸事件的善后问题。这些袭击可能造成大规模伤亡紧急情况,并引发复杂的伤害模式。本文利用合格的二级文献来审查这些伤害模式,并讨论卫生系统的限制。似乎爆炸武器的碎片造成的伤害最多。随后,主要的损伤可以在穿透性创伤和复杂骨折中进行研究。在与恐怖主义有关的爆炸事件发生后,分诊可以作为一项关键任务来研究,以尽量减少幸存者的死亡率。需要所有相关卫生工作人员密切合作,以适应轰炸事件。可能需要对保健工作人员进行额外培训,以适应恐怖爆炸,平民保健结构可能从经验中受益。

Decomposing issue patterns in crisis communication : the case of the lost airliner 危机沟通中问题模式的分解:以失联客机为例

This research explores the relation between a crisis and public discussion on related issues. In organisational crisis communication a single-issue strategy is often proposed. Such a strategy, however, may not be adequate in complex crises where the crisis lifecycle is likely to encompass shorter lifecycles of issues that generate attention. Decomposing the online crisis debate into a pattern of issues supports understanding of public perceptions, and hence of crisis response and communication. This is investigated through an analysis of Facebook posts prompted by the loss of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in 2014. The analysis shows that during the crisis a variety of related issues arose that became topics of public debate. Compassion for victims dominated in the early stages of the crisis, while later on reputation-related issues took over. The insights gained help in understanding the results of social media monitoring during complex organisational crises and facilitate organisational decision making.
本研究探讨了危机与公众对相关问题的讨论之间的关系。在组织危机沟通中,通常会提出单一问题策略。然而,这种策略可能不适用于复杂的危机,因为危机生命周期可能包含引起关注的问题的较短生命周期。将网络危机辩论分解为一系列问题,有助于理解公众的看法,从而有助于危机应对和沟通。这是通过分析2014年马来西亚航空公司MH370航班失联引发的Facebook帖子来调查的。分析表明,在危机期间,出现了各种相关问题,成为公众辩论的话题。在危机的早期阶段,对受害者的同情占据了主导地位,而后来与声誉相关的问题占据了主导地位。所获得的见解有助于理解在复杂的组织危机期间社会媒体监测的结果,并促进组织决策。

Prehospital emergency triage involves prioritising patients and deciding who are in the most urgent need of treatment and medical intervention. Currently used triage methods do not support simple sharing of patient-related information, making it challenging for emergency personnel to monitor the number, location and medical status of patients involved in an incident. We present the design and evaluation of an electronic system that facilitates patient tracking and monitoring of vital parameters from the incident scene to place of treatment. The system comprises a patient electronic triage bracelet, which communicates with software applications for patient monitoring. We tested the system in two situations: real-life, daily operations involving real patients over 1 month and in a 1-day, large-scale, mass casualty exercise. Results are presented, along with lessons learned and suggestions for future research.
院前紧急分诊包括对病人进行优先排序,并决定谁最需要治疗和医疗干预。目前使用的分诊方法不支持简单地共享与患者有关的信息,使急救人员难以监测事件中涉及的患者的人数、位置和医疗状况。我们提出了一种电子系统的设计和评估,该系统有助于患者从事故现场到治疗地点的重要参数的跟踪和监测。该系统包括一个患者电子分诊手环,它与用于患者监测的软件应用程序通信。我们在两种情况下测试了这个系统:一种是现实生活中的日常手术,涉及真实的病人超过一个月,另一种是为期一天的大规模大规模伤亡演习。结果,以及经验教训和对未来研究的建议。

This paper introduces current practices on underground coal mine emergency management in China and Australia. From aspects of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery (PPRR), methods, measures and technology applied in two countries on underground coal mine emergency management are compared. The influences of education, engineering and enforcement (3E) on accident prevention in both countries are analysed. Differences on legislations, emergency plans, organisation, equipment and exercises during emergency preparedness are enumerated as well as the reasons leading to these differences. On the aspect of emergency response, the incident classification, command structure, evacuation and aided rescue are compared. For emergency recovery, differences on incident report rules are emphatically compared. At last, advantages and challenges of China and Australia on underground coal mine emergency management are concluded. Third party emergency services, trigger action response plans (TARPs) and high potential incidents (HPIs) are three major advantages from which China could benefit.
本文介绍了中国和澳大利亚目前在煤矿井下应急管理方面的实践。从预防、准备、响应和恢复(PPRR)方面,比较了两国在煤矿井下应急管理方面的方法、措施和技术。分析了教育、工程和执法(3E)对两国事故预防的影响。列举了应急准备期间在立法、应急计划、组织、设备和演习方面的差异,以及导致这些差异的原因。在应急响应方面,对事件分类、指挥结构、疏散和辅助救援进行了比较。在应急恢复方面,重点比较了事故报告规则的差异。最后,总结了中澳两国在煤矿井下应急管理方面的优势和面临的挑战。第三方应急服务、触发行动响应计划(TARP)和高潜在事故(HPI)是中国可以从中受益的三大优势。

Communication failures often contribute to emergency medicine breakdowns during crises like Ebola, Superstorm Sandy, and 9/11. For example, the misidentification of Ebola in Dallas in 2015 was blamed on ineffective communication between hospital departments and ineffective hospital communication systems. Yet, existing research rarely examines how communication breakdowns can contribute to such failures. This paper provides a systematic research review to introduce emergency medicine providers to research-based best practices in risk and crisis communication. This paper also extends these best practices based on the unique healthcare system context. Understanding these best practices can improve how emergency medicine providers prepare for and respond to crises. In addition, awareness of critical research gaps such as message crafting techniques, family communication, and empowering nurses can inform strategic priorities for mitigating common communication failure points.
在埃博拉、超级风暴桑迪和9/11等危机期间,通信故障往往会导致紧急医疗故障。例如,2015年达拉斯埃博拉病毒的错误识别被归咎于医院部门之间沟通不力和医院沟通系统不健全。然而,现有的研究很少探讨沟通障碍是如何导致这种失败的。本文提供了一个系统的研究综述,介绍急诊医学提供者的风险和危机沟通的研究为基础的最佳实践。本文还基于独特的医疗保健系统上下文扩展了这些最佳实践。了解这些最佳做法可以改善急诊医疗提供者如何准备和应对危机。此外,认识到关键的研究差距,如信息制作技术、家庭沟通和赋予护士权力,可以为减轻常见沟通失败点的战略重点提供信息。
