Patent ID: 7630948

Claim:
A method for managing a chaotic event, the method comprising: responsive to receiving an indication of the chaotic event, determining a management location that has an active data communication for managing the chaotic event; wherein the chaotic event is an event that causes an interruption in routines normally performed by people in everyday activities because of damage inflicted to individuals and infrastructure; predicting a timing and severity of the chaotic event based on a stored set of catastrophe models; wherein the catastrophe models define the parameters of the particular chaotic event; identifying resources necessary for managing the chaotic event based on the predicted timing and severity of the chaotic event; collecting and organizing data by a data organization system through a semantic search over a plurality of networks to determine availability of a number of necessary resources to form available resources; performing a number of optimization routines that are stored in a memory to calculate an ad hoc optimal solution from the available resources based on requirements and constraints to form optimized resources, wherein the ad hoc optimal solution maximizes an objective function: verifying the availability of the optimized resources; and managing the chaotic event from the management location using the optimized resources.
