title = "Risk-informed emergency response via spatio-temporal socio-technical risk analysis",
abstract = "Catastrophic events have made it clear that integrating physical and social causes of failure into a cohesive modeling framework is critical in order to prevent the undesirable consequences of large-scale complex technological accidents. This paper reports on the status of on-going research to develop (1) a theoretical socio-technical causal framework to explicitly incorporate underlying failure mechanisms into Emergency Response (ER) modeling, (2) a methodological technique to create a Spatio-Temporal Socio-Technical Risk Analysis (ST-SoTeRiA) in order to operationalize and quantify the theoretical framework, and (3) a multi-faceted decision making methodology to utilize ST-SoTeRiA for risk-informed ER applications. This research is the first to explicitly incorporate spatial dimensions into socio-technical risk analysis, while being connected with Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) logic. The results of this research will be helpful in protecting public health and safety if a severe Nuclear Power Plant accident leading to a large radiological release should occur",
