Abstract
Knowing the mechanisms of different information dissemination ways and having an efficient information dissemination of disaster prewarning plays a very important role in reducing the loss and ensuring the safety of disaster carrier. In this paper, first, the transmission characteristics of different information media are analyzed. Second, the mathematical models of information dissemination are established for three typical information media including television, telephone, and email. Finally, the information dissemination capability of each medium considering different ages, genders, and residential areas is simulated and the characteristic of each medium is studied. The models and the results are essential for improving the efficiency of information dissemination and making the emergency plan, which should considerably reduce the possibility injury, deaths, and other losses in a disaster.
