Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts, University of Toledo, Geography.
This thesis documents the development of a model to optimally site a minimum number of emergency warning sirens in a continuous space to provide emergency warning notifications to the entire population within a given region. Emergency warning services are crucial and often not provided to the entire population due to various reasons such as budget constraints. The focus of this paper was to develop a method to optimally locate warning sirens in boundary areas so that all residents including those in sparsely receive emergency notification. The model was used to locate a minimum number of warning sirens in Lucas County to aid government officials provide an effective emergency warning system to all residents.
