A Multi-Tenancy Database Approach to Effective Emergency Preparedness and Mitigation
Abstract
Emergency managements’ sole idea is to reduce occurrences, reduce the intensity of occurrences
or to safeguard lives and properties during emergency situations. Preparedness, Mitigation,
Response and Recovery phases are four phases of emergency management. While Mitigation
phase is concerned with actions taken to reduce the chances of an accident occurring through risk
assessment or early attempts to make the consequences of an accident as small as possible,
preparedness phase deals with every method applied to get ready for future imaginable incidents.
They include developing systems, managing resources, developing scenarios and plans and
engaging in realistic training. Emergency management agencies are in constant search of ways to
enhance preparedness and mitigation phases to reduce the chances of accidents occurring. In this
research, we present an architecture based on multi-tenancy which consolidates multiple databases
from multiple emergency management agencies to improve access to emergency information,
strategic planning and risk assessment thereby enabling easy development of emergency
management systems (EMS), reducing cost of such development and also its operations.
