Abstract

After perils of sea such as shipwreck and tsunami, airplane disaster or terrorist raid befell, the rescuing departments will receive omnifarious alarms, asking for help, orders and requests. One of the most important tasks of the work is spreading the search for the lost people and rescuing the people. As the conditions limitation, the rescuing departments can not respond to every request, and can not search and rescue all over the districts at the same time. Thus the decision-makers should make choice among several kinds of search and rescue action schemes, which forms the group decision-making problem of the search and rescue schemes that we will discuss about in this paper.
