Emergency Management Decision Making during Severe Weather.

Simulation and questionnaires were used to capture the decision-making process of emergency managers during severe weather events. These data were combined with insights from emergency manager instructors, National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters, and experienced emergency managers to develop a descriptive decision-making model of weather information usage, weather assessments, and decisions made during severe weather.In addition to collecting responses from both the severe weather decision-making questionnaire and the post-scenario questionnaire, audio recordings from the simulated weather scenario were transcribed and coded.

Evaluation of Medical Management During a Mass Casualty Incident Exercise: An Objective Assessment Tool to Enhance Direct Observation

Seven trained observers, located at designated areas at the exercise site, recorded their observations of medical management in the simulation on structured evaluation forms. Three observers were physicians with experience in disaster management and four were medical students with a special interest in disaster medicine. The observers had participated in the organization of the exercise and design of the evaluation forms.All radio traffic was digitally recorded, with each communication being time-stamped.Anecdotal observations: Digital photographs and video recordings were used extensively to document the progress of the exercise.
