HomeAn evaluation of data sources for entry decision support in rapid-onset disasters
Publication metadata
If time-sensitive relief is to be dispatched to a far-away location, the decision to do so - the "entry" decision - has to be taken within hours after the disaster for the relief to make an impact. This paper identifies which information sources that become available to the decision maker at what time after a potential disaster, and investigates how the provided information can be best utilized based on its inherent and accumulated quality. The research encompasses 46 case studies in central Asia. In conclusion, model-based decision support systems are important since they provide an early alert to slower, but more exact, sources.
