TRANSPORT ACCESSIBILITY FROM FIREFIGHTERS TO OBJECTS LOCATED WITHIN FLOOD HAZARD AREAS IN THE DISTRICT OF ZDUŃSKA WOLA

Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to assess transport accessibility from fire brigades to objects located within the flood hazard zone in the district of Zduńska Wola. To determine the areas exposed to floods, flood hazard maps and planning documents were used, including the study of the conditions and directions of spatial development. On this basis, the objects located within areas exposed to floods were identified, using the Topographic Objects Database. This database was also used to locate the fire brigade units, operating within the National Rescue and Firefighting System in the analyzed district and neighboring municipalities. To carry out the analysis of the transport accessibility, data from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and a tool for network analysis in the ArcGis were employed. It was found that within the flood hazard areas in the surveyed municipalities are 514 buildings. 41 of these objects can be accessed from the municipal units of the fire brigade in up to 8 minutes, and 79 buildings can be reached in up to 15 minutes. In the case of flood, the remaining buildings can be reached in up to 15 minutes from the voluntary fire brigades.
