This study introduces a unified framework for a Decision Support System (DSS) to enhance hazardous materials risk management, specifically for emergency response operations during industrial accidents.

Area of Science:

  • Operations Research
  • Environmental Science
  • Public Safety

Background:

  • Hazardous materials management is crucial for economic development but poses significant environmental and social risks.
  • Accidental releases necessitate improved risk management strategies and emergency response protocols.
  • Existing decision-making environments are complex, involving multiple stakeholders and fragmented responsibilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a unified framework for developing a Decision Support System (DSS).
  • To support the critical function of managing emergency response operations for hazardous materials.
  • To address the unique challenges of the hazardous materials decision-making environment.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a unified framework for a Decision Support System (DSS).

  • Recognition of key characteristics in hazardous materials decision-making: multiple stakeholders, lack of unified resource management, fragmented responsibilities, and dynamic decision-making.
  • Application of the framework to develop a DSS for emergency response in Western Attica, Greece.

    • Main Results:

    • A DSS framework was successfully developed to manage emergency response operations.
    • The framework addresses the complexities of hazardous materials incidents.
    • The system was applied to a real-world scenario in Western Attica, Greece.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed unified framework provides a robust approach to developing Decision Support Systems for hazardous materials emergency response.
    • Effective management of hazardous materials incidents requires addressing stakeholder coordination, resource management, and dynamic decision-making.
    • The developed DSS can significantly improve emergency response capabilities for large-scale industrial accidents.
