当灾难发生时，对关键信息(称为警报)传达的紧急请求及时采取行动是取得成效的关键。这些行动包括通知可能受影响的各方，以便他们能够采取预防措施，收集更多信息，并请求采取补救行动和分配资源。然而，有不同类型的灾害，如疫情暴发、自然灾害、重大事故和恐怖袭击。同时，也涉及到许多不同的方面，如政府、医疗机构、企业和个人。为了解决这些问题，我们引入了一个基于Web服务实现的警报管理系统(AMS)的灾难通知和资源分配系统(DNRAS)。这一统一平台支持各方之间的及时互动，重点是通知和监测、资源查询和分配以及信息的流动。我们详细介绍了系统中这些功能的机制，并说明了用于通信和互操作性的Web服务接口参数。我们用一个疫情暴发的例子来说明我们的方法的适用性，并讨论了我们的方法对于我们系统的各个利益相关者的优势。
When a disaster occurs, timely actions in response to urgent requests conveyed by critical messages (known as alerts) constitute a vital key to effectiveness. These actions include notifying potentially affected parties so that they can take precautionary measures, gathering additional information, and requesting remedial actions and resource allocation. However, there are different types of disasters such as epidemic outbreaks, natural disasters, major accidents, and terrorist attacks. At the same time, there are also many different parties involved such as governments, healthcare institutions, businesses, and individuals. To address these problems, we introduce a Disaster Notification and Resource Allocation System (DNRAS) based on an Alert Management System (AMS) implemented through Web services. This unified platform supports timely interactions among various parties, focusing on notification and monitoring, resource enquiry and allocation, as well as the mobility of information. We detail the mechanisms of these functions in our system, illustrating the Web services interface parameters for communications and interoperability. We illustrate the applicability of our approach with an example of an epidemic outbreak and discuss the advantage of our approach with respect to various stakeholders of our system.
