Application of fuzzy rules to the decision process in crisis management: The case of the silesian district in poland

Abstract

In this chapter, the application of fuzzy rules to crisis management is proposed. The fuzzy notions are considered in all their nuances, defined by experts. Then, the usage of fuzzy rules in the HAZOP method applied to crisis management is considered. Examples stem from the crisis management centre in a Polish district. It is shown that the proposed approach allows us to identify events with serious or even disastrous consequences, which would not have been identified otherwise.
