Emergency response management system for Hyderabad city
Methodology
# Collection of Allied Information
- Location and other characteristics of slums which are vulnerable to fire as well
rapid destruction.( Like number of households, population and density.)
- Location of Police Stations as important aspects of Emegency Response.
- Location of Water Filling Points as the major provision points of Fire
Fighting Resource. To assess the time required for refilling water
# Overlay of maps
- Land Use
- Road Network
- Location of fire stations
- Ward boundaries
- Location of Slums
- Location of Police Stations.
- Location of Water Filling Points
# Analysis
- Finding out the causes of fires and how the accurate knowledge and upto
date information can influence the response and the damage.
- Inputting the land use map and extracting the risk zones as per NBC guidelines
as risk factor 1.
- Inputting the ward populations in the ward boundary map to get the
population densities as risk factor 2.
- Locating the high densities slums as one example of high risk as risk factor 3.
- Distinguishing the existing Transportation network (roads) with respect to
the Right of Ways
- Imparting journey speeds to all the links of the road network in terms of
time impedances.
- Location and number of fire stations and the equipment available.
- Relating Land Use and the location of a Fire station depending on the risk of fire.
- Understanding the response procedure and finding out the constraints in
reaching the site and mitigating the hazard.
- Response time wise coverage by each existing Fire Station for 3,5,7,9,11 minutes.
- Identification of poorly served areas ( areas with delayed service ).
- Analysing the characteristics of the poorly served areas basing the proposals accordingly.
