Computer-Assisted Natural Disaster Operations
Computer-Assisted Natural Disaster Operations : "Under a contractual arrangement with the University of Tennessee, a prototype computer system to assist local planners in natural disaster operations was developed and tested during the fiscal year [1973]. The system, using existing computer programs and available data, produces outputs useful in local natural disaster planning. Outputs include numbers of people and resources in an area; estimates of requirements to deal with all types of natural disasters; allocations of populations affected to temporary shelter. Additional capabilities will be developed during fiscal year 1974, including a complete computer package for use in large metropolitan areas". (DCPA, Foresight, Annual Report FY73, 1974, 11)
