Abstract |
Nowadays, micro-blogging sites such as Twitter have become powerful tools for communicating with others in
various situations. Especially in disaster events, these sites can be the best platforms for seeking or providing social
support, of which informational support and emotional support are the most important types. Sympathy, a sub-type
of emotional support, is an expression of one?s compassion or sorrow for a difficult situation that another person
is facing. Providing sympathy to people affected by a disaster can help change people?s emotional states from
negative to positive emotions, and hence, help them feel better. Moreover, detecting sympathy contents in Twitter
can potentially be used for finding candidate donors since the emotion ?sympathy? is closely related to people who
may be willing to donate. Thus, in this paper, as a starting point, we focus on detecting sympathy-related tweets.
We address this task using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with refined word embeddings. Specifically, we
propose a refined word embedding technique in terms of various pre-trained word vector models and show great
performance of CNNs that use these refined embeddings in the sympathy tweet classification task. We also report
experimental results showing that the CNNs with the refined word embeddings outperform not only traditional
machine learning techniques, such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and AdaBoost with conventional
feature sets as bags of words, but also Long Short-Term Memory Networks. |

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 |
For successful firefighting, information is key. In this work, a general overview of the current challenges and
trends of data management for firefighting in Germany and the Netherlands are examined. This was accomplished
by conducting a literature review to find out the current state-of-the-art in research. The results of the literature
review are then compared with expert sentiments and gaps between research and practice are revealed. Through
the review, six challenge categories are identified: cartographic data harmonization, IS standardization,
information gathering from unstructured data, canonical bodies of knowledge, and data-driven firefighting
support. The challenges and trends are discussed in the context of Germany and the Netherlands and significant
differences are presented. Lastly, the gaps between research and practice are thoroughly analyzed and potentials
for future work revealed. |

Abstract |
Virtual teams are an important form of collaboration, especially in the context of transboundary crises. Achieving
team effectiveness through good sensemaking is key to virtual teams? success in responding to crisis. However,
there is still a lack of understanding about the relationship of this sensemaking in a virtual team during crisis to
the virtual team?s development of swift trust. Adapting from a model of sensemaking, in this paper, we propose a
research model to describe the relationships among swift trust, sensemaking and virtual team performance in the
context of virtual teams during crisis. |

Abstract |
Social Media contain a wealth of information that could improve the situational awareness of Emergency Managers during a crisis, but many barriers stand in the way. These include information overload, making it impossible to deal with the flood of raw posts, and lack of trust in unverified crowdsourced data. The purpose of this project is to build a communications bridge between emergency responders and technologists who can provide the advances needed to realize social media?s full potential. We are employing a Delphi study survey design, which is a technique for exploring and developing consensus among a group of experts around a particular topic. Participants include emergency managers and technologists with experience in software to support the use of social media in crisis response, from many countries. The topics of the study are described and preliminary, partial results presented for Round 1 of the study, based on 33 responses. |

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. |

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 |
The �community� has played an important role in enhancing the regional disaster management capabilities in
Japan. This paper proposes a Life-Area Broadcasting System (LABS) for usual and emergency cases. In order to
realize very simple and easy management of LABS, we developed the Easy Contents Management System
(ECMS). By this system, people can obtain life-area information related to their life support, small events and
accident news occurring at their living area not only in emergency cases but also in normal cases by voice, images
and text. Further, we developed some new Speaker Devices for unfamiliar users of ICT devices such as elderly
users. Those users can receive the service of LABS as like as a television or a radio broadcast terminal anytime
and every day. In this paper, we describe the concept of LABS and introduces the developed new systems and
devices. |

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 |
Several research studies have shown the importance of social media data for humanitarian aid. Among others,
the issue of missing and lost people during disasters and emergencies is crucial for disaster managers. This work
analyzes Twitter data from a recent wildfire event to determine its usefulness for the mitigation of the missing and
found people issue. Data analysis performed using various filtering techniques, and trend analysis revealed that
Twitter contains important information potentially useful for emergency managers and volunteers to tackle this
issue. Many tweets were found containing full names, partial names, location information, and other vital clues
which could be useful for finding missing people. |

Abstract |
Emergency managers receive communication training about the importance of being ?first, right and credible?,
which is not easy. For instance, in October 2018, the Aude department in the South-West of France was hit by
intense rain. Flash floods were hard to forecast and only the ?orange? level of vigilance could be raised initially, but
the population dismissed this very usual warning in that season. The ?red? level was then raised too late, leading
to high criticism. The main problem here is the loss of trust induced by too many ?false alarms?. In this paper
we propose a serious game called VigiFlood for raising awareness in the population about the difficulty of crisis
communication and their own responsibility for reacting to the alerts. The implemented game still has limited
functionality but already shows interesting results in helping the user to visualise and understand the trust dynamics |

Abstract |
Black markets that develop after disaster events have potential to disrupt recovery efforts, and the Dark Web is the perfect facilitator of these markets. Lack of knowledge about the Dark Web: how to access it, how to safely, efficiently navigate the space, and prevailing myths about its dangers likely lead to this deficiency of research. To date, this area is a critically unexplored area of the Internet in the crisis research literature. This work examines this area of the Internet for utility and insight relevant to crisis managers. A pilot study on Puerto Rico in the months following Hurricane Maria reveals possible indicators of the development of black markets for prescription drugs, food, and water, which can impact long-term recovery and reconstruction efforts when these items are diverted from legal supply chains. As more people adopt this hidden part of the Internet, researchers and managers must do more to pay attention to activities that occur in this space. |

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 |
Understanding human behaviour and interactions in risk situations may help to improve crisis management
strategies in order to avoid the worst scenarios. In this paper we present a geospatial agent-based model and
simulation of human behaviour in bushfires. We have modelled the social interactions between different actors
involved in bushfires such as firefighter, police, emergency centre managers and civilians. We use the Belief,
Desire and Intention (BDI) architecture to model realistic human behaviour, and the FIPA-ACL standard to
model the communications. We use geospatial data to represent the environment in a realistic way. We show
how the model has been implemented and how we have unified the communications model and the BDI
architecture. Finally, we compare the processing time of two implementations of our model representing a 2D
simple and a 3D GIS environment. |

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 this paper, a scenario-based approach augmented with personas typically used in universal design and
interactive design domains is used to illustrate the occurrence of situational disabilities in emergency situations,
and to show how environmental factors can trigger these situational disabilities. With the help of personas
representing selected archetypical characteristics and roles, the scenarios are further examined to show how these
situational disabilities can affect the situational awareness of different stakeholders, not only in the command and
control centers, but also first responders in the field as well as affected members of the public. This approach
provides a better understanding of the importance of universal design of ICT for Emergency Management, not
only for people with disabilities and the elderly, but for anyone. |

Abstract |
After a large incident on a telecommunications network, the operator typically executes an incident analysis to
prevent future incidents. Research suggests that these analyses are done ad hoc, without a structured approach. In
this paper, we conduct an investigation of a large incident according to the AcciMap method. We find that this
method can be applied to telecommunications networks with a few small changes; we find that such a structured
approach yields many more actionable recommendations than a more focused approach and we find that both the
onset of an incident and the resolution phase merit their own analysis. We also find that such an analysis costs a
lot of effort and we propose a more efficient approach to using this method. An unexpected outcome was that
AcciMap may also be very useful for analyzing crisis organizations. |

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 |
Constructing shelters in suitable quantities, with adequate capacities and at the right locations is essential for evacuees under earthquake disasters. As one of the disaster management methods, constructing shelters can help to significantly reduce disruption and devastation to affected population. Mathematical models have been used to solve this problem allied with a heuristic optimization algorithm. The optimization of evacuation efficiency, as one of the most important objectives, has many expressive forms, such as minimizing evacuation distance and evacuation time. This paper proposes a new model that aims to minimize evacuation time with a new calculation method and to maximize total evacuees? comfort level. The modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm is employed to solve the model and the result is compared with a model that calculated evacuation time differently and a model without distance constraint, respectively. |

Abstract |
During large-scale disasters it is not uncommon for Public Safety Answering Points (e.g., 9-1-1) to encounter
service disruptions or become overloaded due to call volume. As observed in the two past United States hurricane
seasons, citizens are increasingly turning to social media whether as a consequence of their inability to reach
9-1-1, or as a preferential means of communications. Relying on past research that has examined social media
use in disasters, combined with the practical knowledge of the first-hand disaster response experiences, this paper
develops a knowledge-driven framework containing parameters useful in identifying patterns of shared
information on social media when citizens need help. This effort explores the feasibility of determining
differences, similarities, common themes, and time-specific discoveries of social media calls for help associated
with hurricane evacuations. At a future date, validation of this framework will be demonstrated using datasets
from multiple disasters. The results will lead to recommendations on how the framework can be modified to make
it applicable as a generic disaster-type characterization tool. |

Abstract |
Autonomous systems are being exceedingly used to assist humans in various crisis responses scenarios such as earthquakes and nuclear disasters. Because they operate in highly unstructured and uncertain environments, failures are an inherent part of such autonomous systems, and, techniques for making these systems robust to failures arising from computer hardware, software or communication malfunctions are already integrated into their design. However, an important aspect while designing such systems is often times overlooked: how to better coordinate and communicate across distributed, possibly diverse human teams who are working in cooperation with autonomous systems into the design of the autonomous system itself. Unfortunately, this results in limited adoption of autonomous systems in real-life crisis scenarios. In this working paper, we describe ongoing work that attempts to address this deficit by integrating research on shared mental models between humans with techniques for autonomous agent team formation in the context of search and rescue scenarios. |

Abstract |
In recent years, spontaneous volunteers often turned out to be a critical factor to overcome disaster situations and
avoid further damages to life and assets. These Volunteers coordinate their activities using social media and
mobile devices but are not integrated in usual command and control structures of disaster responders. The lack of
professional disaster response knowledge leads to a waste of potential workforce or even dangerous situations for
the volunteers. In this paper, a novel approach for a centralized coordination of spontaneous volunteers through
disaster response professionals while using popular communication channels esp. messaging services (e.g.
Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp) is presented. The architecture of a volunteer coordination system focusing on
automated multi-channel communication is shown and the possibilities of a universal chatbot for individual
assignment and scheduling of volunteers are discussed. The paper also provides first insights in a demonstrator
system as a practical solution. |

Abstract |
This paper sets out the methodology and the temporary results of an ongoing research project on the use of social media in crisis management (in France). It discusses the benefits and limits to use an emergency crisis exercise for research purposes. It describes an observation protocol and a coding method that could be replicate to survey further exercises. Some possible processing of the observation data is exposed, and further visualizations of the data are still in progress. One of the first analytical results tackles the way Var?s firefighters consider social media information. For now, social media seem to be regarded as questionable because they do not easily fit into the organizational routine. At the same time, the awareness of the need to use social media is quite strong. On the analytical level, the paper tries to use sociological concepts to describe and explain some results. |

Abstract |
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and particularly Social Media, drastically changed communication channels and organization during a crisis response. In this context, new forms of citizen initiatives appear, contributing to situational awareness, providing new profiles of stakeholders and broadening the scope of volunteerism in disaster situations. Thus, given the increasing need to understand and take citizen initiatives into account, this article provides a taxonomy of volunteerism types in crisis contexts, based on a literature review on the subject. Mapped on two main dimensions: the status (who they are) and the focus (what they are doing), multiple types of volunteers are presented on this taxonomy. Then, the article deals with possible use of this taxonomy towards integration of citizen initiatives into the crisis response. |
