Abstract :
This paper focuses on safety and security interfaces for emergency management of disaster. First, the problems in emergency management are investigated from the viewpoint of communication and human computer coordination. Then, we discuss on the necessary functions to realize interfaces to enhance safety and security, and propose three new types of human support systems for disaster management, the information filtering system with semi-structured messages, the group decision support system based on the trouble communication model, and the visual interface for real time decision making.
