PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The frequency and intensity of future flooding disasters are projected to grow due to combined effects of increases in severe precipitation, storm surge, and sea level rise. Flooding compromises the ability of healthcare facilities to provide care, while also impeding access for patients seeking emergency and necessary routine care. To address these needs, Creare proposes to develop a web-based platform that integrates a national database of available healthcare facilities, scientifically robust information on local flood risk and its potential impacts, and real-time information on flooding events. It delivers these capabilities to users via customized web and smartphone applications for improving healthcare resiliency to floods. During Phase I, we will show technical feasibility by identifying relevant use case scenarios through interaction with key stakeholders, designing the core software architecture and user interfaces, and implementing a prototype version of the software for hands-on demonstration and evaluation. By providing integrated data to support the full disaster management lifecycle, Creare’s platform will improve healthcare facility preparedness for flooding prior to and during a disaster, as well as provide real-time information on available and accessible healthcare services for patients during flooding events.

项目概要/摘要 由于综合影响，未来洪水灾害的频率和强度预计将会增加 强降水、风暴潮和海平面上升的增加。洪水损害了医疗保健能力 提供护理的设施，同时也阻碍了患者寻求紧急和必要的常规护理。 为了满足这些需求，Creare 建议开发一个集成国家数据库的网络平台 可用的医疗设施、有关当地洪水风险及其潜在影响的科学可靠信息，以及 有关洪水事件的实时信息。它通过定制的网络向用户提供这些功能 用于提高医疗保健抵御洪水能力的智能手机应用程序。在第一阶段，我们将展示技术 通过与关键利益相关者的互动确定相关用例场景、设计 核心软件架构和用户界面，并实现该软件的原型版本 动手演示和评估。通过提供综合数据来支持全面的灾害管理 在整个生命周期中，Creare 的平台将改善医疗机构在洪水之前和期间的防洪准备 灾难，以及为患者提供有关可用和可获得的医疗保健服务的实时信息 发生洪水事件时。
