‘A small world’: ethnography of a natural disaster simulation in Lima, Peru
Social Anthropology, 2013 An international idea is that the world must be ‘prepared’ for any disaster situation. Among the many tools and practices that contribute to this frame, the paper focuses on exercises intended to prepare for natural disasters: real-scale simulation exercises.

Review on visualization technology in simulation training system for major natural disasters
Natural Hazards, 2022 Major natural disasters have occurred frequently in the last few years, resulting in increased loss of life and economic damage. Most emergency responders do not have first-hand experience with major natural disasters, and thus, there is an urgent need for pre-disaster training.

Simulating Landslides for Natural Disaster Prevention [PDF]
, 1999 The simulation of landslide hazards is a key point in the prevention of natural disasters, since it enables to compute risk maps and helps to design protection works. We present a 3D simulator that handles both rock-falls and mud-flows. The terrain model is built from geological and vegetation maps, superimposed on a DEM.

Experimental Framework to Simulate Rescue Operations after a Natural Disaster
Journal of Computer Science and Technology, 2020 Computational simulation is a powerful tool for performance evaluation of computational systems. It is useful to make capacity planning of data center clusters, to obtain profiling reports of software applications and to detect bottlenecks. It has been used in different research areas like large scale Web search engines, natural disaster evacuations ...

A SIMULATION FRAMEWORK FOR CONTROLLED CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES SUBJECT TO NATURAL DISASTERS [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology (IConETech-2020), 2020 Natural disasters are inherently unpredictable and can cause major damage to critical infrastructures in cities and loss of life. In this study, a simulation and control framework was developed for evaluating response decisions for natural disaster scenarios with the objective of minimizing the casualties generated from within the simulation.

Simulating the impact of natural disasters on urban development in a sample of earthquake
Natural Hazards, 2023 Natural disasters have been increased in areas, where people live densely, day by day. Istanbul 1999, Van 2011, and Izmir 2020 earthquakes were just some of the tragic events in the near past in Turkiye. The aim of this study was to define Van 2011 earthquakes effects as a sample on urban development by using land use/land cover projecting techniques ...
