Hsu, Ming-Hsi, Albert S. Chen, Liang-Chun Chen, Cheng-Shang Lee, Feng-Tyan Lin, and Chen-Jia Huang (2011) A GIS-based Decision Support System for Typhoon Emergency Response in Taiwan. Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 29(1), 7-12.
The effective response actions can significantly reduce the damage caused by disasters, but the emergency managers require plenty of information before setting up appropriate strategies. The data gathering and analyzing processes are complex and the time is constrained during emergency. A GISbased decision support system was developed to enhance the emergency operations during typhoon attacks in Taiwan. The system integrates the real time.
