Abstract

Decision-making related to emergencies and disasters is a daunting process given the dynamic and complex nature of such events, the wide range of factors to manage, and the large amount of information to consider. To address the challenge, the long-term goals of this work advocate for the use of an adaptive intelligent system to assist with these complex decision tasks. This paper provides background for MCDM methods and their uses and develops and proposes a taxonomy of eleven questions for use in selecting MCDM methods within complex decision-making environments such as emergency management.
