Abstract
Decision making based on emergency plans is the main mechanism of problem solving in emergency management. According to characteristics of emergency plan texts, this paper extracts four main components and describes them with formal models. Based on emergency plan templates, we develop a dynamic decision making model to support the normative problem-solving process during emergencies. It provides foundation to develop decision support system for emergency managerst.
