Abstract

The qualitative danger and threat assessment method based on the principle of the maximal allowable limits is proposed for the intelligent disaster decision support system. The proposed method uses the rough set based plausible disaster spreading model and the formal model of the territorial system, which allows us to consider the dynamics of natural disaster spreading discretely at the level of individual cells of the grid and describes disaster dynamics as moving a vague contour presented as a boundary region of a rough set on the certain terrain. Both the plausible disaster spreading model and the qualitative danger and threat assessment method were developed for wildfires as the most common class of natural disasters, and can be suitable for solving decision support tasks for protection against other natural disasters without loss of clarity and justification for the decision-maker.
