Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for the optimization of the response to an emergency situation around an installation processing a hazardous substance with the potential of creating a major accident. The methodology takes into consideration multiple criteria in evaluating a given emergency response policy. Furthermore, uncertainty characterizing the circumstances and the information under which the relevant decisions are to be made are also taken into account. A Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm was developed for the determination of the efficient set of solutions to the problem.
