本文讨论了应急管理中不同技术（如网络可靠性和物流概念）的应用。特别注意在紧急情况发生之前、期间和之后在公路网方面提供决策支助。人们认识到，紧急情况的复杂性可能很快使组织和人员不堪重负，最终导致决策失误，造成生命和财产损失。在这方面，提出了一种方法来支持网络分析和资源分配，以修复容易发生灾害的道路网络。设计了一个公路网应急管理模式，以协助在紧急情况下进行技术上合理的准备和决策。案例研究结果表明，所选择的技术和建议的模式可以帮助组织更好地管理突发事件，但是，他们并不能满足所有的资源，人员和政府管理的需要，确定处理真实的突发事件。在这种情况下，一个新的研究领域，即人道主义物流，提出了努力填补在许多以前的研究中观察到的概念空白的应急管理。
This paper presents a discussion on the application of different techniques (e.g. network reliability and logistics concepts) for emergency management. Special attention is given to decision-making support in the context of roading networks before, during and after stress emergency situations. It is understood that the complexity of emergencies can quickly overwhelm organizations and personnel and ultimately lead to poor decision-making and loss of life and wealth. In this respect, a method is proposed to both support network analysis and resource allocation to fix road networks prone to disasters. A Road Network Emergency Management model has been designed to assist technically-sound preparations and decision-making during emergencies. Case study results indicate that the chosen techniques and the proposed model can help organizations to better manage emergencies; however, they do not satisfy all the resource, personnel and governmental managerial needs identified for dealing with real emergencies. In this context, a new field of study, namely Humanitarian Logistics, is proposed in an effort to fill the conceptual gaps observed in many previous studies of Emergency Management.
