Disaster and emergency management simulation in industrial plants

This paper presents an approach to model and simulate industrial plant accidents as well as the related emergency management; interoperable simulation is proposed as approach for applying High Level Architecture in this context. The authors are focusing their attention on the disaster simulation and its interaction with the emergency management. Modern simulation, by using technology enables such as mobile solution, enhance its support to first responders, the dynamic reaction to crisis evolution as well as the improvement in training and management of safe routing and handling of injured people. This paper introduces these elements as part of new research track devoted to get benefits from interoperable simulation in federating multidisciplinary models for industrial plant emergency management.
