Title Impacting factors on human reactionsto alerts Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication ISCRAM 2012 Conference Proceedings – 9th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2012
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Knowledge based systems; Models; Social sciences; Alert; Crisis situations; Human behaviors; Human reaction; Literature reviews; Modeling and simulating; Support crisis management; Warning; Behavioral research
Abstract Crisis response authorities have to deal with the unpredictability of their population's behavior. One of the complex challenges is to understand the people's reaction after an official alert in a crisis situation has been issued. This paper elaborates a knowledge base to describe impacting factors on human reactions in alerting situations. For this purpose, a literature review in the theme of human behavior after warnings was conducted and augmented with information gathered in a series of interviews in German-speaking countries. The outcome is phrased as factors that might impact the human reaction to a warning. This knowledge base shall support crisis management practitioners in the elaboration of alerting strategies as well as allow researchers to systematically structure human behavior aspects for the purpose of modeling and simulating alert effects. © 2012 ISCRAM.

Title Framework design for operational scenario-based emergency response system Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2013
Volume Issue Pages 332-337
Keywords Decision making; Information systems; Information technology; Social sciences; Dynamic optimization; Emergency response systems; Human behavior analysis; Human behaviors; Psychological effects; Psychological factors; Scenario; Social information processing; Design
Abstract The present paper introduces a scenario-based framework design for connecting emergency response system with human behavior analysis and social information processing, which aims at improving its comprehensive capability in dealing with unexpected situations caused by physical, social and psychological factors during a crisis. The overall framework consists of four function modules: Scenario awareness, scenario analysis, scenario evolvement and scenario response. A detailed function design for each module is presented as well as the related methodologies used for integration of four modules. The contribution of this paper includes two aspects. One is realizing the integration of incident evolution, information-spreading and decision-making by taking account of physical, social and psychological effects during emergency. The other is improving the efficiency of decisionmaking through dynamic optimization process.

Title Condition Sensing for Electricity Infrastructures in Disasters by Mining Public Topics from Social Media Type Conference Article
Year 2021 Publication ISCRAM 2021 Conference Proceedings – 18th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2021
Volume Issue Pages 598-608
Keywords social media, infrastructure resilience, human behaviors, disaster response
Abstract Timely and reliable sensing of infrastructure conditions is critical in disaster management for planning effective infrastructure restorations. Social media, a near real-time information source, has been widely used in the disaster domain for building timely, general situational awareness, such as urgent public needs and donations. However, the employment of social media for sensing electricity infrastructure conditions has yet been explored. This study aims to address the research gap to sense electricity infrastructure conditions through mining public topics from social media. To achieve this purpose, we proposed a systematic and customized approach wherein (1) electricity-related social media data is extracted by the classifier developed based on Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT); and (2) public topics are modeled with unigrams, bigrams, and trigrams to incorporate the formulaic expressions of infrastructure conditions in social media. Electricity infrastructures in Florida impacted by Hurricane Irma are studied for illustration and demonstration. Results show that the proposed approach is capable of sensing the temporal evolutions and geographic differences of electricity infrastructure conditions.
