Knowledge Model for Post-Disaster Management

The main aim of this research is to help post-disaster managers to find most rational solutions by using advanced knowledge and developed Model. Post-disaster management is shared, purposeful activities based upon the development of common understandings and interpretations of means and ends. Stakeholders generate the personal and group decisions which contribute to post-disaster management success. This article describes the development (during EurAsia project) of a Knowledge Model for Post-disaster Management based upon multiple criteria decision making theory. The developed Model involves six stages that help to determine rational post-disaster management alternatives by evaluating post-disaster management' life cycle, stakeholders, micro and macro environment.
