This paper presents a modular decision support system that infers the primary location of the user or the reported incident and a situation-aware risk level from multi-turn Turkish disaster dialogues between a help-seeking user and an AI-supported emergency assistant. The assistant guides the user with follow-up questions about health status, number of affected people, structural damage, environmental hazards, and known nearby landmarks to complete missing information. The system manages the dialogue with a finite state machine, determines the location by linking user cues to a local GeoJSON point-of-interest database and by landmark verification, and produces explainable risk scores with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis. The key novelty is treating landmarks as an evidence layer that verifies the current location hypothesis through proximity and clustering instead of directly replacing candidates based on a landmark signal. In a ten-scenario pilot evaluation, accuracy, end-to-end latency, and token usage are reported for three configurations.
