Abstract

Abstract:

Emergency response action plan development is one of the most critical issues in the emergency response. The emergency response commander is required to analyze the complex situation, to choose and reconstruct the emergency domain knowledge from a number of involved agencies and to develop an efficient action plan to complete a set of event objectives. This research analyzes the emergency decision-making process responding to catastrophes such as natural disasters or extreme events. After essential factors involved in the process are defined, the decision-making problem of emergency action plan development is further defined. Then the methodology of emergency action plan development based on Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning is proposed. This paper further discusses the research opportunities of applying HTN planning to emergency management, dedicating to constructing a theoretical framework of the methodology of HTN-based emergency response action plan development for researchers.

Key words: emergency response decision-making, emergency response action plan development, hierarchical task network planning
