Prototype of an Expert System for Natural Disasters' Control and Alert

This work aims to develop an Expert system (ES), which assists the user to have a control against floods and landslides in the watershed of the Itajai-Acu River region. In Blumenau, mainly, the occurrence of this kind of disaster is common and the people need to have means to always be informed and to know how to act in this kind of situation. The Operation Center of Alert System Itajai Basin (CEOPS) is an example of it, because it is a mean of very useful information when some disaster occurs. In order to provide an extra alternative about these questions, it was developed a system where the user can simulate situations, working as a tool for forecasting floods and landslides. The knowledge base was created with information provided by CEOPS and existing scientific works of the study area. It was developed in the Java language integrated with the Java Embedded Object-Oriented Production Systems (JEOPS) tool, responsible for the construction of the knowledge base and the rules inference.
