Abstract
Abstract. Urban fire disasters are one of the most frequent disasters that threaten public safety and social development in cities. Most urban fire disasters feature dynamics and processes. The locations, time, meteorological conditions and surroundings of each fire incidents are diverse, besides the traffic conditions around the fire place would be changing dynamically. At present, there is no unified modeling language to describe urban fire incidents, which makes it difficult to obtain experience from historical cases and hard to describe. This paper used the Event pattern Markup Language (EML) to model urban fire incidents from an observation perspective based on MetaObject Facility (MOF) framework, designed and implemented an urban fire incident modeling prototype. It can realize the information description of urban fire disasters, and provide descriptions of different observation missions during the process of the fire incidents. The detailed description of the process allows multiple observations based on the expression of EML to be performed, and offer evidence for emergency response phase and post-mortem archiving. The real data of the "12.1" major fire in Tianjin, China in 2017 was used as a use-case to show the modeling results of the entire fire incident in four phases – mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The results show that this modeling method proposed in this paper can represent the dynamic information of urban fire incidents and achieve the dynamic modeling of urban fire incidents.
Highlights
1.1 BackgroundAccording to the data released by the National Data Network of China, from 2006 to 2012, the number of fires and direct economic losses generally showed an upward trend
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), emergency management is divided into four phases: disaster mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, and recovery, and the whole process is dynamic (Haddow, 2003)
In spite of the truth is that China's emergency management has developed rapidly in recent years, there are still many shortcomings because of its late stars, and there is a lack of a unified management mechanism among various departments, different disasters are managed by different departments, and the links between different departments are not close enough
Summary
1.1 BackgroundAccording to the data released by the National Data Network of China, from 2006 to 2012, the number of fires and direct economic losses generally showed an upward trend. The premise and foundation of disaster prevention, mitigation and rescue is to uniformly express and manage the information of urban fire incidents, and utilize observation data to model the dynamic process. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), emergency management is divided into four phases: disaster mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, and recovery, and the whole process is dynamic (Haddow, 2003). In spite of the truth is that China's emergency management has developed rapidly in recent years, there are still many shortcomings because of its late stars, and there is a lack of a unified management mechanism among various departments, different disasters are managed by different departments, and the links between different departments are not close enough. A unified and standardized model of disasters is significant to exchanging the necessary information during urban fire disasters, which should be using a simple and useful language to express the occurrence and development process of fire incident. That the information exchange during the emergency management process can be more convenient, and the efficiency of government emergency management can be improved
