Abstract |
Available medical resources are the basis of efficient disaster medical relief. The medical resources assignment for disaster medical relief forces is usually fixed. However, the injury condition distribution changes in different disaster and so does the demand for the medical resources. So the assignment of medical relief forces should be more flexible and based on the injury. We analyzed the component parts and rules of disaster medical relief, defining the related concepts and rules. Then, we constructed the describing rules of injury-treatment-medical-technique-resource-assignment process. Based on these, we established the ontology of disaster medical relief system and the injury-driven medical resources assignment ontology model (MRAOM). We used the model to describe the medical relief situation after earthquake to demonstrate the model could describe complicated situations. We also used the model to describe and forecast the medical resource assignment of treating batch wounded to demonstrate the model's validity. |

Abstract |
Taxonomies are integral to systems engineering, as they structure our knowledge of a field and so provide the
foundation for technological development. We contribute such taxonomies for the field of Community
Interaction and Engagement in Crisis and Disaster Management, which represents the interface between
members of the public who commit to relief efforts and established organisations that have a pre-defined role in
crisis management. These actors are unified in their purpose to help those in need, but also set apart by their
organisational structures and modes of operation. We classify the actors of Community Interaction and
Engagement, as well as the interactions between them. Our contribution outlines areas where the application of
Information and Communication Technology can offer benefits to Community Interaction and Engagement. |

Abstract |
Spontaneous volunteers influence crisis and disaster relief efforts as both an effective aid and a stressing factor for emergency organisations. Managing the negative impacts of spontaneous volunteering has thus become part of command and control deliberations. In this paper, we take a closer look at integrating spontaneous volunteers into the formal response system to mitigate negative impacts.
Working with participants from formal response organisations, we gathered qualitative data regarding the management of spontaneous volunteers during the European migration crisis in 2015.
Through thematic analysis, we extracted topics to systematically describe the interaction between emergency organisations and spontaneous volunteers. As implication thereof, we propose how computer supported systems can be applied to better manage spontaneous volunteers. In our discussion, we focus on the registration process and ad hoc verification of spontaneous volunteers to better integrate them in the formal response process. |

Abstract |
Critical infrastructures (CIs) increase in complexity due to numerous dependencies on other CIs but also due to the ongoing digitalization in the industry sector. This yields an increased risk of failure of a single CI as the overall systems gets very fragile and sensitive to errors Failure of a single component may affect large parts of an infrastructure due to cascading effects. One way to support functionality of a CI is the use of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) that allow monitoring remote sites and controlling processes. However, this is an additional source for threats as recent cyber-attacks have shown. Further, the additional information for such cyber systems is often not efficiently combined with existing information on the physical infrastructure. We here propose a method to combine these two sources of information in order to estimate the impact of a security incident on CIs, taking into account cascading effects of threats. An implementation of the model allows simulation of the dynamics inside a CI and yields a record of the status of each asset of the CI. The way the assets change their states illustrates the consequences of an incident on the entire CI. Visualization of the results provides an overview on the situation of the entire CI at a certain point of time and a sequence of such visualization over an entire period of time illustrates the changes over time. The results from this analysis may be used to support security officers in analyzing the current (hybrid) state of their CI in case of an incident and thus increase the hybrid situational awareness. |

Abstract |
Increasing resilience is a core interest in critical infrastructure (CI) protection that involves many challenges. It is necessary to agree on a common understanding of resilience and identify potential strategies to improve it.
Once this is done, the question arises how to choose among these strategies. We propose to decide based on a game-theoretic framework that allows identification of optimal actions under various scenarios. This framework considers different threat scenarios as attacks to the CI and the identified strategies to improve resilience as defense strategies for the CI. Since the payoff of the game, namely the resilience of the CI, can hardly be measured with certainty we choose an extension of classical game theory that allows taking uncertainty into account and still finds provably optimal solutions. This approach is especially useful in a situation where we aim to optimize a quantity that is difficult to measure (such as resilience). The result of this analysis is two-fold: it identifies an optimal defense but also provides information about the resilience in the worst case. The approach is illustrated with a small example using a publicly available implementation. |

Abstract |
Owing to the complexity of Critical Infrastructures and the richness of issues to analyze, numerous approaches are used to model the behavior of CIs. Organizations having homeland security as mission often conduct desktop-based simulations using judgmental assessment of CI interdependencies and cascading failures. Expert estimates concern direct effects between the originally disrupted CI sector and other sectors. To better understand the magnitude of aggregate cascading effects, we developed a system dynamics model that uses expert estimates of cascading failures to compare the aggregate effect of cascading failures with the primary direct cascading failures. We find that the aggregate effect of compounded cascading failures becomes significantly greater than the primary cascading failures the longer the duration of the original disruption becomes. Our conceptually simple system dynamics model could be used to improve desktop-based exercises, since it illustrates consequences that go beyond judgmental assessment. |

Abstract |
Evaluation and testing are major steps in the development of any information system, particularly if it is to be used in high-risk contexts such as conflicts. While thus far there are various approaches for testing against technology requirements; usability or usefulness, there is a lack of a comprehensive evaluation framework that combines the three elements. The lack of such a framework and commonly agreed standards constitutes a barrier for innovation, and at the same time imposes risks to responders if the technology is introduced without proper testing. This paper aims to close this gap. Based on a reviewing of evaluation methods and measurement metrics, we design a comprehensive evaluation framework including common code quality testing metrics, usability testing methods, subjective usefulness questionnaires, and performance indicators. We demonstrate our approach by using the example of an integrated system for the safety and security of humanitarian missions, and we highlight how our approach allows measuring the system?s quality and usefulness. |

Abstract |
This paper presents the INSITU research project initiated to provide a systematic approach for effective sharing, integration and use of information from different sources, to establish a common operational picture (COP) and shared situational understanding among multiple actors in emergency response. The solution developed will provide an interactive map display, integrating harmonisation of terminology and collaboration support for information sharing and synthesis. The enhanced COP will also support evaluation and learning from exercises and incidents. The project involves close collaboration with emergency management stakeholders in Norway, for requirements analysis, participatory design, and validation of project deliverables. The research will improve information sharing and decision support in emergency operations centres, which will contribute to improve societal resilience through more effective response capability. |

Abstract |
Information and supporting information systems is a key element in an effective emergency response. From
creating situational awareness to informed decision making, information enables responders to optimize their
decisions and operations. Today, with the increased availability of information technology around the globe, a
new active player in the field of information management is emerging as communities are becoming increasingly
active in the field of information gathering, analyzing and sharing.
However, communities may have specific requirements and approaches to using information systems in crisis
situations. Moreover, connecting information systems between communities and responder pose specific
challenges due to the different information needs, capacities and incentives to use them. In this paper we build on
the DERMIS premises and explore through a case study if and how these principles apply to inclusive information
systems. We present the initial findings of this work of designing information systems involving both communities
and formal responders. |

Abstract |
Approaches for effectively filtering useful situational awareness information posted by eyewitnesses of disasters,
in real time, are greatly needed. While many studies have focused on filtering textual information, the research
on filtering disaster images is more limited. In particular, there are no studies on the applicability of domain
adaptation to filter images from an emergent target disaster, when no labeled data is available for the target disaster.
To fill in this gap, we propose to apply a domain adaptation approach, called domain adversarial neural networks
(DANN), to the task of identifying images that show damage. The DANN approach has VGG-19 as its backbone,
and uses the adversarial training to find a transformation that makes the source and target data indistinguishable.
Experimental results on several pairs of disasters suggest that the DANN model generally gives similar or better
results as compared to the VGG-19 model fine-tuned on the source labeled data. |

Abstract |
During unforeseen situations of crisis such as disasters and accidents we usually have to rely on local news reports for the latest updates on casualties. The information in such feeds is in unstructured text format, however, structured data is required for analysis and visualization. This paper presents a system for automatic extraction and visualization of casualty information from news articles. A prototype online system has been implemented and tested with local news feed of road accidents. The system extracts information regarding number of deaths, injuries, date, location, and vehicles involved using techniques like Named Entity Recognition, Semantic Role Labeling and Regular expressions. The entities were manually annotated and compared with the results obtained from the system. Initial results are promising with good accuracy overall. Moreover, the system maintains an online database of casualties and provides information visualization and filtering interfaces for analysis. |

Abstract |
In developed countries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent the majority of all businesses, e.g. 99.9% in the UK. Given this significant proportion, any disruption to the operation of SMEs will have a negative impact on a nation?s economy. In the context of flooding, this paper reports on the use of agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) to assess SMEs immediate response and short-term recovery. In particular, it focuses on the interactions between manufacturing SMEs and mutual aid partners, and retail SMEs and companies specializing in refurbishing premises. Results show that a manufacturing SME with a mutual aid partner can reduce loss in production by approximately 6% over a 7 working day period. In relation to retail
SMEs, those with employees able to be allocated to refurbish its premises recovered faster than SMEs employing a refurbishment company, potentially one day earlier. |

Abstract |
Risk assessment aims at improving prevention and preparedness phases of the crisis management lifecycle.
Qualitative risk assessment of a system is important for risks identification and analysis by the various stakeholders and often requires multi-disciplinary knowledge. We present an automatic approach to qualitative
risk assessment in metropolitan areas using semantic techniques. In particular, users are provided with a computational support to identify and prioritize by relevance risks of city services, through generation of
semantic descriptions of risk situations. This approach is enabled by a software system consisting of: TERMINUS, a domain ontology representing city knowledge; WS-CREAM, a web service implementing risk identification and ranking functions; and CIPCast, a GIS-based Decision Support System with functions of risk
forecast due to natural hazards. Finally we present the results of a preliminary validation of the generated risks concerning some points of interest in two different areas of the city of Rome. |

Abstract |
In a context of information overload, actors in disaster management are facing challenges to efficiently allocate critical information during a crisis. Based on the empirical experience of EMSC (Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre) with its application LastQuake, this paper explores ways to provide safety information in
a timely manner, to the people who actually need it. First we introduce the method used to design and implement universally understandable visual safety tips, taking Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (ELSI) into consideration. Then, results on the effective use of the feature are presented. Findings demonstrate the importance of designing universal tools to limit the use of personal data as well as the Necessity of developing a multichannel approach for efficient crisis information allocation. |

Abstract |
While accepted as part of critical infrastructure (CI) resilience, no consensus exists on how to measure the exact
minimum level of service or the rapidity of rapidly restoring services. The H2020 European project IMPROVER
(Improved risk evaluation and implementation of resilience concepts to critical infrastructure) suggests to use the
public?s declared tolerance levels for both minimum level of service and rapidity of service restoration as criteria
with which to evaluate if the resilience of a given CI is resilient enough. This paper demonstrates the development
of a questionnaire-based methodology to determine public tolerance levels. It then tests this methodology via a
pilot case study at IMPROVER?s Hungarian Highway Living Lab. The paper argues that public tolerance levels
are a reasonable choice for resilience evaluation criteria and demonstrates that the questionnaire-based
methodology permits one to evaluate public perception in such a way as to compare it to technical resilience
analyses. |

Abstract |
This paper describes a prototype system that integrates social media analysis into the European Flood Awareness
System (EFAS). This integration allows the collection of social media data to be automatically triggered by flood
risk warnings determined by a hydro-meteorological model. Then, we adopt a multi-lingual approach to find
flood-related messages by employing two state-of-the-art methodologies: language-agnostic word embeddings
and language-aligned word embeddings. Both approaches can be used to bootstrap a classifier of social media
messages for a new language with little or no labeled data. Finally, we describe a method for selecting relevant and
representative messages and displaying them back in the interface of EFAS. |

Abstract |
After a natural disaster or other crisis, humanitarian organizations need to know where affected people are located
and what resources they need. While this information is difficult to capture quickly through conventional methods,
aggregate usage patterns of social media apps like Facebook can help fill these information gaps.
In this paper, we describe the data and methodology that power Facebook Disaster Maps. These maps utilize
information about Facebook usage in areas impacted by natural hazards, producing aggregate pictures of how the
population is affected by and responding to the hazard. The maps include insights into evacuations, cell network
connectivity, access to electricity, and long-term displacement.
In addition to descriptions and examples of each map type, we describe the source data used to generate the maps,
and efforts taken to ensure the security and privacy of Facebook users. We also describe limitations of the current
methodologies and opportunities for improvement. |

Abstract |
Exercises are considered as vital to develop and sustain crisis management capabilities. An exercise may have a role both as a provider of knowledge about the crisis management system, and its performance, and as a driver of change through training of individuals, groups and organizations. However, the relationship between the design and characteristics of a specific exercise, and the usability of its results in the development of the crisis management system is not well-understood. The objective of this paper is to explore if a morphological field can be used to investigate this relationship. Such a field was designed and evaluated. Even though this field was relatively simple, it was concluded that it provides results that deepen the understanding of how different types of exercises can contribute to the development of the crisis management system. |

Abstract |
Various sources report a low adoption of IT-based tools in emergency response, as well as a negative attitude of
responders to such tools. The responders? needs, simply put, are not met by the IT-based tools offered to them.
Observing this situation through a user-centered design lens, we note that such problems typically stem from
insufficient or erroneous context analysis. The deficiencies become even more pronounced when considering that
emergency response represents a complex, adaptive socio-technical system. We also note that the appropriate
methodology for designing ER systems is rarely discussed in literature and in research papers. To fill that void, the
present paper discusses a minimal set of techniques that, both in our experience and according to state of the art
practice, can guide developers towards positively-accepted IT systems for emergency response. |

Abstract |
In an emergency, getting up-to-date information about the current situation is crucial to orchestrate an efficient response. Due to its objectivity, preciseness and comparability, time-series data offer broad possibilities to manage emergency incidents. Since the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing with an estimated number of 30 billion sensors in 2020, it offers excellent potential to collect time-series data for improving situational awareness. The IoT brings several challenges: caused by a splintered sensor manufacturer landscape, data comes in various structures, incompatible protocols and unclear semantics. To tackle these challenges a well-defined interface, from where uniform data can be queried, is necessary. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has recognized this demand and developed the SensorThings API standard, an open, unified way to interconnect devices throughout the IoT, which is implemented by the FRaunhofer-Opensource-SensorThings-Server (FROST). This paper presents the standard, its implementation and the application to the domain of crisis management. |

Abstract |
The paper describes the need for, and work in progress to provide the French population with
a modern emergency communication infrastructure that uses open source components to
deliver real time communications from smart phones as well as traditional routes.
The article puts forward the vision of the NexSIS 18-112 project aimed at designing and
implementing the next generation AI enhanced emergency services response platform for
France. The vision and ambition of the NexSIS 18-112 system is to rewrite the command and
control system from scratch at a national level, providing it with state of the art functionalities.
Anticipating the future deployment of 5G networks, the work described in the article explains
how to ensure the transition of the legacy emergency operation systems to an operational IPbased
model, capable of offering voice, video, Instant Messaging, and Real Time Text (RTT)
services to emergency services? operators. |

Abstract |
An increasing number of Machine Learning based systems are being designed to filter and visualize the relevant
information from social media and web streams for disaster management. Given the dynamic disaster events, the
notion of relevant information evolves, and thus, the active learning techniques are often considered to keep
updating the predictive models for the relevant information filtering. However, the active relevant feedback
provided by the human annotators to update the models are not validated. As a result, they can introduce
unconscious biases in the learning process of humans and can result in an inaccurate or inefficient predictive
system. Therefore, this paper describes the design and implementation of an open-source technology-based
learning analytics system ? EMAssistant ? for the emergency volunteers or practitioners – referred as the trainee, to
enhance their experiential learning cycle with the cause-effect reasoning on providing relevant feedback to the
machine learning model. This continuous integration between the cause (providing feedback) and the effect
(observing predictions from the updated model) in a visual form will likely to improve the understanding of the
trainees to provide more accurate feedback. We propose to present the system design as well as provide
hands-on exercises for the conference session. |

Abstract |
Social media sources can be helpful in crisis situations, but discovering relevant messages is not trivial. Methods
have so far focused on universal detection models for all kinds of crises or for certain crisis types (e.g. floods).
Event-specific models could implement a more focused search area, but collecting data and training new models for
a crisis that is already in progress is costly and may take too much time for a prompt response. As a compromise,
manually collecting a small amount of example messages is feasible. Few-shot models can generalize to unseen
classes with such a small handful of examples, and do not need be trained anew for each event. We show how
these models can be used to detect crisis-relevant tweets during new events with just 10 to 100 examples and
counterexamples. We also propose a new type of few-shot model that does not require counterexamples. |

Abstract |
Social media enables fast information exchange and status reporting during crises. Filtering is usually required to
identify the small fraction of social media stream data related to events. Since deep learning has recently shown to
be a reliable approach for filtering and analyzing Twitter messages, a Convolutional Neural Network is examined for
filtering crisis-related tweets in this work. The goal is to understand how to obtain accurate and robust filtering
models and how model accuracies tend to behave in case of new events. In contrast to other works, the application
to real data streams is also investigated. Motivated by the observation that machine learning model accuracies
highly depend on the used data, a new comprehensive and balanced compilation of existing data sets is proposed.
Experimental results with this data set provide valuable insights. Preliminary results from filtering a data stream
recorded during hurricane Florence in September 2018 confirm our results. |
