Abstract:

This paper describes the development of a prototype spatial decision support system for use by emergency planners in developing contingency plans for evacuations from disaster areas. It links together a geographical information system with a specially written object-oriented micro-simulator via a windowing computer operating system. The details of the system are described, its limitations are discussed and potential enhancements are identified.
