The Role of Simulation and Modeling in Disaster Management.

A rigorously constructed simulation model of the system will have control variables and performance measures that may be used in constructing the storyline of the narrative and the breakdown into subunits. The use of explicit input variables, context variables and output variables as performance measures provides a metric for

The preparation of tabletop exercises as simulation for contexts differing in levels of maturity will look different at each step of the simulation process (please see the data collection plan)

The discipline of simulation modeling includes giving attention to details of system composition and entity relationships (mathematical and logical). The steps for building a simulator may be outlined as follows:1. Formulate the problem with the following leading questions.a. What operations and functions produce the systems output?b. What procedural elements exist in the systems operation?c. What interactions occur between functional units of the system?d. What information is available to characterize the operations, functions, and procedures of the system?2. Define the project goal, critical performance measures, modeling objectives, and system to be modeled (e.g., scope and level of detail)3. Specify the model.4. Construct the model.a. Define experimental controls (input and context variables)b. Construct the internal interactions (design variablesand alternatives)5. Run, verify and validate the simulation model.6. Use the simulator to produce and analyze

When tabletop exercises are constructed with the same formality as computer simulations, there are numerous benefits. Fewer erroneous assertions can be anticipated.
