Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the value of creating an information technology (IT) system to assist Saudi Arabia in predicting and preparing the right training capabilities to manage scalable flood events. This paper sets forth the scope of emergency response training capabilities needed to manage low-, medium-, and high-intensity flooding events in Jeddah. With the use of primary data from local responders in Jeddah, the need for an emergency response training capabilities IT system that can be defined as able to map human resource training needs was assessed. This IT system could help decision makers calibrate the right response criteria in the event of scalable flash flooding across Jeddah.
