Research question

Has OR/MS addressed previously identified disaster-management gaps?

Method and context

Classifies 155 papers and compares them with Altay and Green’s review.

Study summary

Assesses field development and recurring modelling assumptions.

Findings

Authors report no major change from the earlier review’s patterns.

Contribution

Adds assumption appraisal to research-gap assessment.

Interpretation limits

Use limitation: coverage ends in 2010, not the current field.

Connect evidence to KSEC / OBE

Project-proposed critical-appraisal evidence, not research findings or accreditation criteria from the original authors.

K
Explain the question, concepts and findings with locators in the original.
S
Compare methods, variables and limitations with another study before designing a test or CPX.
E
Separate reported results from your proposals, cite originals and examine implications for vulnerable groups.
C
Record responses to critique and revisions after new evidence. Observe behaviour repeatedly, not from a single reading.
