Abstract
We consider the problem of disaster mitigation in the RoboCup Rescue Simulation Environment [3] to be a task allocation problem where the tasks arrive dynamically and can change in intensity. These tasks can be performed by ambulance teams, fire brigades and police forces with the help of an ambulance center, a fire station and a police office. However the agents don’t get automatically notified of the tasks as soon as they arrive and hence it is necessary for the agents to explore the simulated world to discover new tasks and to notify other agents of these.
