Unifying casualty distributions within and across conflicts [PDF]
The distribution of whole war sizes and the distribution of event sizes within individual wars, can both be well approximated by power laws where size is measured by the number of fatalities. However the power-law exponent value for whole wars has a substantially smaller magnitude - and hence a flatter distribution - than for individual wars.

Patient distribution in a mass casualty event of an airplane crash [PDF]
Difficulties have been reported in the patient distribution during Mass Casualty Incidents. In this study we analysed the regional patient distribution protocol (PDP) and the actual patient distribution after the 2009 Turkish Airlines crash near Amsterdam.Analysis of the patient distribution of 126 surviving casualties of the crash by collecting data ...

Climate and its many weather manifestations can help explain annual variations in fatalities and casualty crashes. Part 1 of a 3-part series identifies the breadth of weather factors which collectively contribute to crash risk reviewing and consolidating

Risk assessments of people who are trapped are an important basis for scientific and effective emergency rescue after an earthquake. Currently, most models are based on the kilometer grid scale or community scale that gauge the population and extent of ...

Toward a Unified Understanding of Casualty Distributions in Human Conflict [PDF]
We are able to unify various disparate claims and results in the literature, that stand in the way of a unified description and understanding of human conflict. First, we provide a reconciliation of the numerically different exponent values for fatality distributions across entire wars and within single wars. Second, we explain how ignoring the details

IT-Supported Management of Mass Casualty Incidents: The e-Triage Project [PDF]
Voice, analogue mobile radio, and paper have been successfully used for decades for coordination of emergencies and disasters, but although being simple and robust this approach cannot keep pace with today’s requirements any more.
