Linking a throughput simulation to a systems dynamics simulation to assess the utility of a US Navy foreign humanitarian aid mission

The success of any humanitarian aid mission is generally measured by the timeliness of critical supplies that are delivered to the affected area. However, a more interesting analysis may be to determine the effect of the aid on the overall satisfaction of the local population. The authors' research focused on the delivery of humanitarian aid to a notional region that was decimated by flooding with ships, landing craft and security personnel provided by the US Navy and Marines. While the research effort addressed naval force structure, the focus of the research was: (1) to assess different delivery methods for the aid; and (2) to determine how the aid delivery impacted the overall satisfaction of the local population. To examine both concerns, two simulation models were developed, with one examining the throughput of aid delivered during the operation, and the other the satisfaction of the population based on the humanitarian aid effort.

消防部队处置地震灾害的几点启示

消防部队处置地震灾害具有专业优势，也是地震抢险救援的主力军。通过总结汶川大地震应急救援成功经验，认为高效的组织指挥、周密的协同和有力的后勤保障是成功救援的前提和关键。从完善有关法规和救援机制、建立防灾救灾战略物资储备库、建设国家应急抢险救援队伍等几个方面提出了提高消防部队处置灾害能力的对策。     

社会弱势群体聚集场所消防安全面临的问题及对策

在消防安全领域，社会弱势群体成为火灾最大的受伤害人群。关注弱势群体的消防安全，已刻不容缓。分析了弱势群体在消防安全方面存在的问题，探讨了弱势群体聚集场所的火灾特点，并有针对性地提出了弱势群体聚集场所火灾预防对策。     

基于DoDAF的重大灾害救援系统结构模型

重大灾害之后的及时救援是减少损失的关键，建立并分析重大灾害救援系统结构模型十分必要。针对重大灾害普遍特点，借鉴美国国防部体系结构框架V2?0（ Department of Defense Architecture Framework， DoDAF V2?0）思想，采用基于活动（ Activity?Based Methodology， ABM）的建模方法，建立了典型的重大灾害救援系统模型；利用体系结构工具System Architect（ SA）绘制多种DoDAF视图。从多个视角下对该系统阐述和分析，为仿真活动以及任务执行打下了基础。
