Abstract:
The main goal of a disaster warning system is preventing loss of properties by providing suitable information to people who can be affected by disaster events. The challenges of a disaster warning system are geographically correlated characteristics of disaster events and user movements, multimodal communication channels of social connectivity, and unexpected large scale failures caused by disasters. To deal with the challenges, in this paper we propose a new design of a reliable and personalized disaster warning system to support city-wide mobile users. The proposed disaster warning system has three main components, namely, personality-aware location prediction, geo-social connectivity aware message generation, and failure-resilient geo-aware dissemination. Through the preliminary evaluation of each component, we show that the viability of the proposed disaster warning system.
