Students and professors of the UB School of Management have recently published the result of their research of methods of emergency response that were used during last year's October snowstorm.The National Science Foundation is a government agency that donates money for engineering and science-related research provided the funds for the study, which aims to pinpoint the most effective methods of aiding people in emergency situations.UB helped to fund the research as a part of the UB 2020 plan, focusing on preparing efficient disaster response systems.According to Raj Sharman, a professor of management science and systems, much of the research data came from interviewing workers from the Emergency Operations Center, the first responders during the October storm."The Emergency Operations Center normally consists of high level people from different areas like public health, police, fire and so on, coordinating the response," Sharman said.Sharman noted that the Emergency Operations Center quickly and efficiently got the first and second responders to the right places.
