摘要
Hurricane Andrew has taught Florida a deadly and expensive lesson. Once again, we have been reminded how unprepared we are for natural disasters. In this paper we present a conceptual framework for an effective, integrated, and modular decision support system (DSS) for hurricane emergency management. As an important component of this decision support system, we have been developing a PC-based emergency hurricane evacuation planning module, Regional Evacuation Modeling System (REMS), at the University of Florida since 1990. The software uses simulation as well as several network optimization models in estimating the evacuation time and the traffic flow on a given transportation road network. The system is very robust and user friendly. One of the important features of REMS is its ability to be used in real time.
