Abstract

Rationally selecting emergency material reserve bases (EMSBs) for chemical industry parks is crucial to ensure timely emergency responses during major accidents. To identify practical site selection schemes for EMSBs under typhoon scenarios, a prioritization/sorting site selection model considering typhoon disasters for EMSBs is developed. Firstly, an improved k-means clustering algorithm is employed to cluster typhoon paths and classify them into several critical typhoon scenarios, which are used to assess the risk of typhoon disasters affecting chemical industrial parks in specific areas. Then, according to the region's functional characteristics of EMSBs, candidate areas with emergency capabilities are identified through kernel density analysis, and safe candidate areas are further determined based on the identified typhoon scenarios. Finally, the safe candidate areas are ranked based on emergency path distances, and the preferred site selection areas are ultimately obtained through administrative planning analysis of the top-ranked areas. Furthermore, a case study is conducted based on data from Zhejiang Province, verifying the effectiveness of the decision-making method.
