Abstract

This invention is a system creating risk indices, where the risk index is based on a combination of indicators. The indicators for measuring risk are adaptive and dynamic to the changing availability of disaster information and state of the system. Importantly, this research addresses two needs of emergency responders. It provides a risk-based prioritization of key geo-locations to allocate support and mitigation efforts. It provides a mechanism for prioritizing data collection and analysis efforts.
