Automated decision support systems for hurricane mitigation planning

Abstract
The risks posed by hurricanes are significant and rising. Recent advances in computer technology have stimulated interest in the potential applica tion of automated decision support systems to hurricane mitigation planning. This article discusses why computer technology should be used in hurricane mitigation planning. Reviews of the several different, though often interrelated, lines of advance in automated decision support systems and hurricane risk assessment modeling are presented. Recent research on organizational concerns that should be ac counted for in the design of such systems is also reviewed. Guide lines are then provided showing how future research might be directed to effectively design and implement decision support systems.
