EOC model: A conceptual model to analyze emergencies

Emergencies include various types of information that have very complex internal logic structures. This paper presents an emergency analysis model, element-object-consequence (EOC) model, for information frames that lack structured information expressions for emergency information analyses. The EOC model uses the basic concepts of "element", "object", "consequence", "environment", "response and management" and "scenario" to organize the emergency information. The model then uses conceptual and mathematical analyses and presentations with frameworks based on these six concepts. A case study shows that this model provides analyses, expressions and storage of information from unstructured, semi-structured and structured sources, as well as qualitative and quantitative presentations of the entire emergency development process.
