The disaster context model and its application in creating disaster scenarios for hospitals

Abstract

Widely applied across many sectors, disaster training and exercises pre-embedded within a society can serve as a driving force for strengthening its disaster resilience. While this traditional system has great potential to enhance social resilience to natural catastrophe, its preparation and implementation requires too much time and effort. To solve this problem, this study proposes a model that can be used to produce and share disaster scenarios, introduces a prototype support system for creating disaster scenarios and exercise materials, and shows evaluations of its potential use.
