Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated planning and execution model for supporting emergency command and controlling process during emergency response. Firstly, a common incident action plan is designed for representing all the actions of responders and relations among them. Additionally, the planning process and execution process based on the incident action plan are introduced.

The work was supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China (projects No. 21612301), the third phase of 211 major project of Guangdong province “Emergency management theory and practice”, and National Science Foundation Grant of China (projects No. 90924301).
