DATA MODEL DEVELOPMENT FOR FIRE RELATED EXTREME EVENTS: AN ACTIVITY THEORY APPROACH1.

- collecting feedback by interviewing the panel members (verbal communication),- prototype system test was evaluated by user acceptance testing to assess its quality and level of support in fire response communication, user acceptance test consisted of both scripted based and tabletop exercises which are typical methods for emergency response exercises

Developing Disaster Preparedness Competence: An Experiential Learning Exercise for Multiprofessional Education.

The first activity of the 3-hr exercise was the administration of a pretest of knowledge and an attitude scale. Then, the first author (RS) presented a brief lecture with slides emphasizing main points from the prereadings. Afterward, the students divided into their assigned role-playing groups and went to separate work areas. Each work area had a computer, a CD of the prereadings and other reference materials, and an Internet connection. Each group selected a speaker. Then the faculty facilitators gave out three to five injects describing how the put demands on their role and questions for discussion. These injects were different from the pr-estudy questions. Usually, injects are given out sequentially by exercise facilitators as the group progresses through problem solving. In this exercise all of the injects for each 45-min session were given out at the beginning of each session because the time constraints were tight.For the second role-playing session, the groups reassembled in combinations. For example, the groups of primary care physicians, the school district, and the county health department were combined. Again, they received three to five injects to guide discussion of how their group roles interrelate in a health emergency, either for mutual information needs or for the potential to pool resources to address common problems. An inject for the team described here was, “How can you work together to manage large numbers of people who want medical screening and reassurance without flooding emergency rooms?” Faculty guidance suggested guiding the group toward disseminating information to families through schools and possibly setting up screening sites at schools. This session also lasted 45 min.Following the small-group sessions, all the students and faculty members reconvened for debriefing. Each role group and each combination of groups presented a summary of their discussions. These sessions addressed Objectives 2 and 3, practicing and understanding the various stakeholder roles.
