Debris Management with Vulnerability Heatmapping and Indexing
Publication: Computing in Civil Engineering 2023
ABSTRACT
Debris generated and left in the wake of a disaster is one of a community’s greatest obstacles in the ability to restore function. The objectives of this paper are (1) to provide systematic procedures to develop and visualize the debris vulnerability index based on the four dimensions and (2) to develop to prioritize debris removal by integrating all dimensions into GIS mapping. The proposed methodology for Social. Unmanned aerial vehicle was applied to collect the 3D volumetric information, and 11 metrics were selected and evaluated to establish vulnerability of a location. The proposed process incorporates all systems into a process giving decision makers the ability to quickly determine scope, complexity, potential impact, and recovery needs. Therefore, the outcome of this research will ensure maximum utilization of the limited resources to reach a larger number of people who might be facing life-threatening situations in a timely manner, which will enhance resilience of the community.
