灾难发生后，疏散老年受害者并保持关键资源的最佳流动以满足他们的需求变得困难，特别是对美国墨西哥湾沿岸的州，如佛罗里达州，那里超过690万(36.9%)的人口年龄在50岁以上。纵观文献，没有实质性的先前工作综合了多模式紧急需求评估的要求，以促进老年人安全和方便地疏散，并优化流入受影响地区的资源，以满足留下来的人的需求。本文回顾了以人口老龄化为重点的应急文献，采用知识库开发方法，并以佛罗里达州的一个基于地理信息系统的案例研究应用程序集为支持。既要确保交通基础设施的弹性，又要满足老龄化人口的需求。作为这种基于元数据的分析的结果，提出了关键的研究需求和挑战，并提出了规划建议和未来的研究方向。结果清楚地表明，交通机构应该把重点放在向老龄化人口清楚而快速地传播与灾害有关的信息上。利用辅助医疗服务疏散老年人，特别是那些独居和/或居住在农村地区的老年人，也是至关重要的。
Abstract In the aftermath of disasters, evacuating aging victims and maintaining an optimal flow of critical resources in order to serve their needs becomes problematic, especially for Gulf Coast states in the USA such as Florida, where more than 6.9 million (36.9%) of the population are over age 50. Scanning the literature, there is no substantial prior work that has synthesized the requirements for a multi-modal emergency needs assessment that could facilitate the safe and accessible evacuation of aging people, and optimize the flow of resources into the affected region to satisfy the needs of those who remain. This paper presents a review of the aging population-focused emergency literature utilizing a knowledge base development methodology supported with a geographic information system-based case study application set in Florida. Importance is given to both ensuring the resiliency of the transportation infrastructure and meeting the needs of aging populations. As a result of this metadata-based analysis, critical research needs and challenges are presented with planning recommendations and future research directions. Results clearly indicate that transportation agencies should focus on clear and fast dissemination of disaster-related information to the aging populations. The use of paratransit services for evacuating aging people, especially those living independently and/or in rural areas, is also found to be of paramount importance.
