According to Journal of Combinatorial Optimization 41, 640-677, 2021, This study
presents an innovative and reliable mathematical approach for creating effective flood
evacuation plans during emergencies. A collection of possible locations for the
establishment of evacuation shelters with limited capacity is given to the mathematical
model. In this sector of expertise, we propose a novel approach to employ helicopters for
the first time to rescue people from flooding. In addition, the maximum flying time and
capacity of the helicopters are thought to be restricted to emulate real-world
circumstances. Our objective is to reduce the overall cost while maximizing the number
of individuals saved. We used robust optimization to define uncertainties since real-world
uncertainties affect the main parameters of the proposed model.

Based on Environmental Hazards 20 (4), 432-455, 2021, The basis of safe and efficient
post-flood management is the early planning of shelters and evacuation routes. In order to
prepare for urgent, short-term, and long-term floods, a hierarchical model for emergency
shelter location selection was established in this study. In order to guarantee the security
of evacuation routes, high-risk regions were designated as barriers in the network
analysis, and walking evacuation risk categories were categorized according to
inundation depth and flow rate. In order to guarantee evacuation safety and the ability to
supply the services required to sustain the lives of evacuees in shelters, accessibility,
protection from flooding, service accessibility, and facility capacity were established as
criteria for location selection.

According to International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction 84, 103435, 2023, In
mountainous areas, heavy rainfall frequently sets off a series of calamities, including
landslides and floods. The municipal government designates adjacent schools or open
spaces as emergency shelters during catastrophe preparations. In an emergency, our
paradigm regards existing schools as shelters for evacuees and individual homes as places
of demand. The evacuation shelters' facilities' coverage of households within an
impedance cutoff is assessed using the maximal covering location problem approach. The
outcome demonstrates that there are not enough shelters already in place to serve every
family in 30 or 60 minutes. In mountainous areas, this methodology assists local
administration units in creating simultaneous hazard impact plans that guarantee the safe
operation of emergency facilities.

According to International Conference on Structural Engineering and Construction
Management, 15-23, 2022 by Rolando Bitagun Jr, Jaime Daliuag, Ertie Abana, Based on
the results of a vulnerability assessment carried out in one of Tuguegarao City's most
vulnerable areas during a typhoon, this study produced a flood and wind map. For every
hazard, three vulnerability indicators were employed. The inclusion of a second story, the
rising of the bottom floor, and the presence of a concrete slab were signs of flood
hazards, whereas the shape, overhang, and vents on the roof were markers of wind
hazards. The total flood and total wind vulnerability ratings were calculated as the
average of the three vulnerability factors. The structure's vulnerability was indicated by
the average vulnerability factors, which were colored green for 0.4 to 0.6, yellow for 0.6
to 0.8, and red for 0.8 to 1.0.

According to Zhihong Li et al. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2022. This work
proposes a pedestrian pre-evacuation decision-making model for complex situations that
takes pedestrian heterogeneity into account. First of all, the model considers a variety of
evident aspects, such as information, experience, routines, stress, and the capacity for
making decisions. The personnel decision-making in each stage is then split into two
categories: stay and flee, based on the preferences of the escapees. Ultimately, a number
of influential variables are chosen in order to build the regression equation that will
forecast the escape opportunity. According to a research of the natural response rates of
various evacuation tactics, 19.81% of people flee right away. This paper's research can
better safeguard public safety and advance people's daily activities.

According to Qiujia Liu, Linjun Lu, Yijing Zhang, Miaoqing Hu Physica A: Statistical
Mechanics and its Applications 585, 126426, 2022, Modeling the dynamics of
pedestrian evacuation in a complex environment. The management of public safety
depends on the research of crowd evacuation dynamics, and models of crowd evacuation
dynamics can be used to mimic pedestrian behavior during an evacuation. In this study,
we suggest a novel force model for complex environment evacuation simulation. To
make it adaptable to complicated emergency contexts, this model takes into account more
environmental elements than previous models. The model is shown to be able to forecast
evacuation efficiency and more accurately mimic the microscopic behavior of pedestrians
in harsh environments through verification using actual data. We present
recommendations for crowd evacuation and talk about how the presence of various
impediments and dangers affects pedestrian evacuation performance.

processes involved in flood shelter selection and post-flood management, the model
presented here takes into account the viability of walking evacuation on flooded roads as
well as a selection of methodologies for each type of flood shelter.

According to Lubkowski P, Krygier J, Sondej T, Dobrowolski AP, Apiecionek L,
Znaniecki W, Oskwarek P. Decision Support System Proposal for Medical Evacuations
in Military Operations. 2023. The electronically aided decision support system
architecture for medical evacuation during military operations was provided in the article.
The police and fire departments, among others, can also use the system. The system
consists of the measuring subsystem, data transmission subsystem, analysis and inference
subsystem, and it satisfies the requirements for tactical battle casualty care procedures.
The technology automatically suggests a medical segregation of injured soldiers (medical
triage) based on the ongoing monitoring of chosen soldiers' vital signs and biological
signals. The Headquarters Management System was used to depict the triage data for
medical staff (first responders, medical officers, and medical evacuation units) and
commanders, as needed. The article included descriptions of every component of the
architecture.

According to Rodriguez, R. ., Anano, A. ., Salamanes, S. R. ., Pardo, C. J. ., Ballinan Jr.,
C., & Bahana, M. . (2020). Proposed Evacuation Center in Tacloban City, Leyte.
Ascendens Asia Singapore – Bestlink College of the Philippines Journal of
Multidisciplinary Research, 2(1). Building the suggested evacuation facility in Tacloban
City, Leyte, is the goal of this study. One issue that the researchers ran into was how the
respondents evaluated the degree of acceptability about the idea, the study's statement,
the materials' appropriateness, and its presentation. The researchers first created a floor
plan and template, which are essential for the project, and then they developed techniques
to serve as a roadmap for building the bridge. The study's findings demonstrated that
using the right materials can help a project meet its goals for toughness and quality. The
study's findings also demonstrated that appropriate money management, appropriate
techniques, and appropriate floor designs can all contribute to a project's success.
Enhancing Evacuation Planning and Shelter Site Selection for Flood Disaster: Thai
Flooding Case Study (2017) was a prior study that was related to these findings. Some
techniques, supplies, and designs used in this study have the potential to inform future
research.

According to Vadlit, E. ., Dizon, C. ., Gavanes, J. ., Desio, G. P. ., Tolentino, K. I. T.,
Aguinaga, A. D. ., & Bahana, M. . (2020). Proposed Evacuation Center in Baliuag,
Bulacan. Ascendens Asia Singapore – Bestlink College of the Philippines Journal of
Multidisciplinary Research, 2(1). The goal of the project is to construct a small
evacuation center in Baliuag, Bulacan so that families can be safe during natural
disasters. A quantitative research design was employed in this study. The survey
administered to students studying architecture was also used by the researchers. Students
studying civil engineering evaluate the proposed evacuation facility in Baliuag, Bulacan,
for acceptability. With a variance of 0.061143, a T-computed value of 0.55, a degree of
freedom of 28, and a T-critical value of 0.267—which was less than the T-computed
value—the final overall weighted mean of fourth-year architecture students was 3.44.
Consequently, the fourth-year architecture students' evaluation was approved. With a
variance of 0.06800, a T-computed value of 0.55, a degree of freedom of 28, and a T-
critical value of 0.267—which was less than the T-computed value—the total weighted
mean of the Civil Engineering students was found to be 3.52. As a result, the students'
evaluation in civil engineering is approved. In order to make it more inexpensive and
durable, the respondents recommended switching from cardboard to Sintra board, thus
the researchers made that alteration. In accordance with the building requirements, the
researchers also modified the miniature's design. To enhance quality and functionality,
the researchers also made changes to the design. Finally, in order to exhibit the miniature,
the researchers need to adhere to precise and accurate measurements.
