Abstract

We propose a methodology to generate realistic victim profiles for medical disaster simulations based on victims from the VictimBase library. We apply these profiles in a medical disaster model where victim entities evolve in parallel through a medical response model and a victim pathway model. These models interact in correspondence with the time triggers and intervention triggers from VictimBase. We show how such a model can be used to assess the impact of asset availability and implemented victim prioritisation rule on the clinical condition of the victims.
