Research in Progress
"Agent Based Modeling System for Emergency Preparation and Disaster Response" (Planning)
As part of the FSU Center of Homeland Security Initiative, Dr. Vikas Agrawal and I are
working on an agent based modeling system to simulate a disaster and measure how well
emergency procedures respond to the disaster. The idea is a software simulation tool that
will
allow administrators to simulate various disaster circumstances and measure the quality
of
various emergency procedures.
This research area has been identified during Center of Homeland Security Initiative
meetings
which included Dr. Thomas Conway and Dr. Charles Curtis of FSU Academic Affairs
Department and various representatives of the Department of Homeland Security and their
Centers of Excellence.
This research is currently in the planning stages, as Dr. Agrawal and I are corresponding
with
various emergency response experts including FSU's Director of Emergency Management
George Tatum to gather details that can be included in the simulation. We are also
actively
searching for grant opportunities applicable to this research.
