Abstract

Emergency management is becoming more and more attractive in both theory and practice due to the frequently occurring incidents in the world. The objective of emergency management is to make optimal decisions to decrease or diminish harm caused by incidents. Nowadays the overwhelming amount of information leads to a great need of effective data analysis for the purpose of well informed decision. The potential of data mining has been demonstrated through the success of decision-making module in present-day emergency management systems. In this paper, we review advanced data mining techniques applied in emergency management and indicate some promising future research directions.
