In response to major disasters, rescue routes that connect evacuation shelters and rescue spots are the heart of a disaster rescue site. These routes enable delivery of required emergency rescue equipment and supplies. Currently, the Taipei City government has declared “Emergency Rescue Route for Major Disasters” as a tool to address rescue and evacuation. Other cities and counties have performed preliminary studies, but there are still no officially-released procedures for establishing rescue routes. To undertake rescue route planning, multiple factors need attention. These include earthquake risk features in each area, seismic capacity of on-street buildings and critical bridges, regional transportation demands, and the location of emergency medical facilities. Using New Taipei City as an example, our study concentrates on the geographical environment of the region and the principles of rescue route planning to identify rescue routes by applying a developed software, ROSA. Use of such rescue routes promotes precautionary measures in preearthquake conditions and aims to help relevant practitioners launch emergency responses during and after earthquakes. |
