Developing shared situational awareness for emergency management.

To determine what is critical information for the CCRRS we divided the approach into critical information, i.e. the minimum SSA needs of the CCRRS, and action-triggering information, i.e. the minimum SA needs of an organization or actor.

Development, initial reliability and validity testing of an observational tool for assessing technical skills of operating room nurses

Twenty trainee OR nurses and two senior OR trainer nurses took part in the study. ICATS-N was tested in the context of surgical simulations. The simulations were carried out in a Simulated Operating Room (SOR) in the hospital. The SOR is a fully equipped OR with a control room, through which trainers can direct simulation exercises and observe the trainees via one-way mirror.

203 participants recruited from undergraduate communication courses at a public university in the upper MidwestParticipants got one of the following four sets to read/watch.participants viewed a two-minute television news package from the Associated Press (AP) regarding the 2011 shooting at Virginia Techparticipants watched the same news feature and were then asked to read a press release concerning the events surrounding the shooting;participants received the press release first, and then watched the news packageparticipants were only asked to read the press release and did not view the televised news packageparticipants were asked to fill out a brief questionnaire, which included the Event Hazard Outrage Scale

Early warning and mass evacuation in coastal cities.

a methodology for helping the local authorities to prepare an action plan in case of coastal flooding was developed and tested on the estuary of Gironde in France.The methodology builds over the return of experience frompast events and tries to clearly identify all the stages of an evacuation and the thinking process that can lead to a robust evacuation plan.The scenarios were calculated for current and future conditions of the XXIst century, taking into account the effects of climate change.
