“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.” -Alan Lakein
In 2008, 88,070 people’s lives around the world were taken away by earthquakes (U.S. Geological Survey). Although an inevitable part of life, better preparation before a disaster strikes would definitely minimize damage and casualties. Earthquake relief supplies are critical to human’s lives after an earthquake hits; an optimally organized earthquake relief supply chain system could mean the difference between life and death for thousands of people. SEECK Inc. is a consulting company which provides a powerful
post-earthquake simulation model that models the best strategic operation
recommendations for governments under customizable variables (such as
population density, ease of transportation, and access to relief supplies). DisasterNet- SEECK's core simulation model - can help any government make a optimal decisions regarding: •Where the Headquarter (the city which receives relief supplies from outside the system) should be located. This is typically a city with a major harbor and international airport •Deciding whether the distribution of emergency and food supplies should be centralized (all placed in one city) or decentralized (distributed among multiple cities) •Deciding how many resources to keep on hand to prevent a bottleneck where people die because demand outstrips supply Seeck Inc. was formed in the Spring of 2009 when five UC
Berkeley engineering undergrads realized the enormous commercial and societal
value of their final simulation project. What formed in the constraints of a
class project blossomed into a powerful, customizable, easy-to-use disaster
relief simulation software that stunned their professor and the academic
community. Quickly realizing the broad and impressive potential of their work,
Seeck Inc. was born. To find out more about our history development team, click here. Seeck Inc. is currently based around a discrete-event simulation software that models the after effects of a typical Bay Area earthquake. With detailed modeling yet surprising efficiency, we can help make informed decisions on a variety of levels. Learn more about our product here. |
