| dc.description.abstract | Emergency services are those that respond to various emergency situations in order to guarantee public safety. For cities, deciding where to put emergency stations is essential. When choosing the best incident location, the most crucial factors to consider are response time reduction, coverage maximization, and overall cost reduction. It is necessary to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in order to study on maps. The focus of this work is on developing a model for fire emergency response model based on GIS station; to deliver the fire emergency service in Addis Ababa city, locate the fire incident and the existing fire response station to arrive at the place where the incident occurs. This GIS-based approach followed identified elements such as fire response station, Addis Ababa city parcel, after identified elements then Geo coding existing fire response station and Addis Ababa city resident or parcel and to develop the database for this fire emergency response. To develop the model for the study area, Geo code at visual study code for x y coordinate of fire station and residential with attribute parcel ID. Finally the developed fire emergency response model and database integrate with web GIS. The overlay result indicates that the fire emergency response model and fire emergency database model access to locate a fire incident and timely intervention play a crucial role in managing urban fire, the Addis Ababa city parcel and existing fire response station were based on the inputs, parcel number or ID. The present study suggests GIS based fire emergency response model which helps to located fire incident with the corresponding fire response station location for the city as well as provides fire emergency response Database for the study area. | |
