A Technology Centric Strategic Approach as Decision Support System During Flood Rescue for a Better Evacuation and Rehabilitation Plan

Abstract

This study explains, how a strategically defined software solution can play an important role in the response and recovery phase of a flood disaster. It explains a better use of the available technology like Hadoop, Twitter, Tableau, Python, Kafka to create a managed solution to make operations easy at the time of recue. It is a decision support system which takes data feed from Twitter batch, Twitter streaming, and Movie data, stores it in big data and then perform various useful analytical solutions and helps in performing actions on the ground. Disaster Management team, Local Response Team, Visitors, Volunteers, NGO’s, Doctors, Citizens are the key contributor in the support system. There is a continuous monitoring of flood factors and their current situation like rivers, mountains, valleys, rain fall, sea and keep on updating relevant info in Decision Management system. This system helps in allocation and monitor resources in terms of Shelters, Hospital, Buildings, transport and Adhoc Assets. It provides an important role in communication between two modules of the systems. It also explains about the standards and communication policy which is very much required to make an effective system [1] on the ground reality.
