Abstract
Vulnerable groups in society are particularly important and have been addressed in many emergency management scenarios, as well as how to save them. However, this concept is often associated with old people, children, and people with disabilities. We considered how millions of tourists in Europe potentially could be a vulnerable group with situational disabilities in case of air raid attacks. The Ukraine-Russian war has witnessed new technologies to attack civilians from air, and public bomb shelters are important safety measures to be considered. We discuss behavioral, environmental, affective, social and technological situational disabilities in all sensory aspects as well as biases tourists have. We concluded that disaster alert information systems in Europe must consider multiculturalism and language barriers tourists bring into air-raid sheltering, as this type of response is not included in fire trills, floodings or earthquake response plans. We propose a framework to strengthen the emergency management plan that affects tourists, alongside metrics to measure biases using technologies.
