“…All respondents stated that they travelled to evacuation shelters on foot -none used a car, motorbike or public transportation. This is consistent with research by Chang and Liao (2014), who found that people chose to walk rather than drive to evacuation shelters. In contrast, Kar and Hodgson (2008) assumed that people usually travelled by car to the shelters.…”

“…The selection of the appropriate type of spatial unit is highly dependent on the purpose of the research, which in this case required using the smallest spatial unit available. Other scholars have used buildings or land-use categories when representing shelter sites (Chang and Liao, 2014;Gall, 2004;Kar and Hodgson, 2008).…”

During disasters and crises, social media have been acknowledged as key communication channels (Wendling et al., 2013). Authorities and emergency response agencies use social media as a valuable source of information, as well as a useful platform for the rapid delivery of it (Kreiner and Neubauer, 2012). Social media assist the response to and management of disasters by, for example, providing a platform for sending alerts, identifying critical needs and focusing responses (Carley et al., 2015). Inhabitants use social media to request help during crises, share views and experiences CONTENTS

“…(3) Rescue Service Integration in Shelters In the early post-disaster, emergency shelters are the main bases for evacuees to live [41] and receive medical treatment [42], and it is necessary to provide various evacuation services. The disaster situation has stabilized, and rescue forces from the rear have arrived in the affected area [33].…”

Natural disasters cause serious damage to buildings and infrastructure, and victims lose a comfortable living environment. A large number of people are left homeless. Emergency shelter is an important component that cannot be ignored in the comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation plan. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has collectively taken into account the rapid and accurate resettlement of evacuees by taking stratification of demand, distribution of supplies, and diversion evacuation as an organic model. Given the bottleneck of rapid and accurate resettlement in the complex sheltered environment, we combine field research, literature analysis, and previous case study. This paper explains that the three main factors that affect the resettlement of evacuees are the complexity of demand, the shortage of materials, and the blindness of refuge. Additionally, then an effective analysis framework of the hierarchy of demand, distribution rapidity and refuge accuracy are constructed. Finally, this paper puts forward the structural framework of demand for layered, comprehensive distribution and diversion of evacuees and further explains the structure relationship, mode of rescue and operation strategy of effective resettlement of evacuees.

“…Ng et al proposed a hybrid bi-level model that balances both behavioral assumptions to minimize the total evacuation time and the individual evacuation time [17]. Chang and Liao proposed the location model, which uses space syntax and road-closure indices to identify where to locate emergency shelters based on behavior analysis [18].…”

In recent years, cities are threatened by various natural hazards. Planning emergency shelters in advance is an effective approach to reducing the damage caused by disasters and ensuring the safety of residents. Thus, providing the optimal layout of urban emergency shelters is an important stage of disaster management and an act of humanitarian logistics. In order to study the optimal layout of emergency shelters in small mountain cities, this paper constructs multi-level location models for different grades of emergency shelters so as to minimize the travel and construction costs and maximize the coverage rate. Specifically, the actual service of emergency shelters is determined using Geographic Information System (GIS) software and Weighted Voronoi Diagram (WVD) models under the limitation of site capacity, and the space layout is adjusted through combining the actual urban land with the construction position. In this paper, the Jianchuan county seat at Yunnan Province, China, was considered as a case study to illustrate the models of emergency shelters in which the feasibility of the presented models is verified. The proposed research methods and models have provided theoretical basis and a benchmark for the optimal layout of emergency shelters in other small mountain cities.
