Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER): An Innovative Emergency Management Tool in the United States.

Data from these CASPER activities were compared with respect to differences in geographic distribution, type, actions, efficacy, and usefulness of trainingThe authors received all domestic CASPER activities (i.e. trainings and assessments) occurring between fiscal year 2012 and 2016.

Comparing four operational SAR-based water and flood detection approaches.

the data basis for this study is TanDEM-X co-registered single-look slantrange complex (CoSSC) data, which are acquired in X-band with a signal wavelength, ë, of 3.1 cm.Five test areas have been selected to compare the four proposed approaches WaMaPro, RaMaFlood, TFS, and TDX WAM based on subsets of StripMap data of the TanDEM-X mission. The test areas are distributed over three continents and are located in Vietnam, the Netherlands, Germany, Mali, and China (Figure 1), covering areas of 538.4, 324.4, 452.9, 284.2, and 120.1 km2, respectively

A total of 192 checklists were collected from the two most recent mock drills.

Context-based automatic reconstruction and texturing of 3D urban terrain for quick-response tasks.

The input for our building detection procedure is an elevation map, or, if geo-referenced, a Digital Surface Model (DSM) that either results from an Airborne Laser Scan (ALS) or is sampled from a dense point cloud resulting from one or several depth maps.The first data set we present stems from the village Bonnland, a widely used urban facility in Southern Germany.The input data is a DSM computed from an ALS point cloud of as well as a corresponding digital orthophoto. The 3D building polygons were generated by methods of Gross et al. (2005).The second data set (Vaihingen area 3) is an ISPRS WG III/4 benchmark due to Rottensteiner et al. (2012) for urban terrain reconstruction. It represents a purely residential area in the city of Vaihingen (Germany) and contains 56 small, detached houses and many trees.the last data set is the area 4 of the Toronto data set which is also an ISPRS benchmark.

Context-Specific, Scenario-Based Risk Scales.

Two surveys conducted with employees from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and subsurface coal mine inspectors.Eighteen NIOSH employees volunteered to pilot the initial survey and provided feedback. 61 mine inspectors were asked to complete the revised survey. Forty-seven mine inspectors were asked to complete the second survey.
