Abstract
Despite the vast amount of information available
concerning natural and man-made accidents, rescue forces
are generally not able to use the existing information
efficiently in their decision making. The purpose of the
UHHA project was to create a framework for an emergency
management system that collects practical data from an
emergency situation, merges the data in order to get a
better overall view of the situation, and sends the
analysed information to the rescue services and other
decision makers, and other actors and stakeholders. The
results show that it is possible to provide real-time
information for emergencies' management by combining
chemical measurements with dispersion and population
modelling. This paper describes the principles of behind
the UHHA concept.
