Abstract --Taiwan located in the area highly exposed to the attack from natural disasters such as typhoons and storm brings about a great loss. For this reason, this research focus on planning and assessing a best suitable information communication scheme for decision support system of disaster rescue during the natural calamity, and provides a guiding principle for the rescue and emergency measure in the future
Fifteen ways of information communication has been collected for analyzing the workable and cost in this research. With the analysis by AHP (Analytical Hierarchical Process), we suggest that the front transmit section (from monitor station to river basin management bureau) configure with wireless network in place of old modems, the back transmit section (from river basin management bureau to Water Resources Agency) equip with two different systems each for peacetime and emergency period; the special railway line (T1) for peacetime and satellite communication for the emergency period.
We also has established a system for instant disaster information transmitting, which integrates some advanced electronics productions such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), cell phone, DC (digital camera), GPS (Global Position System) and digital compass. The staff in the disaster site could transmit live pictures, local coordinates and direction to decision center via cell phone, providing rescue policymaker in the center capable of clearly understanding what happen over there.
This research draws up one information communication system in accordance with nowadays science and technology and continuity in the future, and we hope to apply this system in practical in one river basin to demonstrate.
