Flood Emergency Response System Using Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis

Recently, several states in Malaysia have been affected by flood disasters, causing hundred thousands of people to be evacuated from their homes and some of the victims killed on the floods. Therefore, flood emergency response at early stage is very important to keep flood risk and its impact at the...
