Short, small-scale computer-based simulations to improve head emergency nurses’ general and specific self-efficacy and management skills.

With the help of SAFEgress agent based simulation model, to study the impacts of different exit signage systems within the constraints of given building layout. SAFEgress can be used to study the effects of human and social behaviors on collective crowd movement patterns.

This paper describes an agent-based egress simulation tool, SAFEgress, which is designed to incorporate human and social behaviors during evacuations. The unique feature of SAFEgress is its flexibility to model different individual, group, and crowd behavior.

Evaluation of these virtual world simulation exercises shows that trainees find them to be adequately realistic to ‘‘suspend disbelief,’’ and they quickly learn to use Internet voice communication and user interface to navigate their online character/avatar to work effectively in a critical care team.1st Study: Training sessions conducted with students/interns randomly assigned either to human-patient simulator (HPS) or to a virtual world (VW) for trauma cases simulations. 2nd Study:3D virtual simulation of 2 worlds for the rapid response to a chemical, biologic, radiologic, nuclear, or highly explosive (CBRNE) incident.3rd Study:Creation of a 3D virtual world replica of the Stanford emergency department for training hospital staff to assess and manage mass casualties after a CBRNE incident.

Aims to propose and discuss the process through which surgical ward simulation may be established, taking into account curriculum, users, and facilities.

To evaluate the Swedish medical systems response to a mass casualty burn incident in a rural area with a focus on national coordination of burn care

A case study of humanitarian disaster management is used to demonstrate the unique abilities of the CDA and Google Earth to support situation awareness. The paper provides some of the first empirical evidence on the utility of the virtual globes to support situation awareness for disaster management using implicit geographic information.

To analyze usefulness of space applications in crisis management activities carried out on the national level.

This study is an evaluation of hazard-mitigation plans approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) using the requirements of the Disaster Management Act of 2000 (DMA2K).The study investigates whether or not there are significant differences in the mitigation action plans (MAPs) developed by jurisdictions from states with existing planning mandates in their comprehensive plans prior to DMA2K and those without existing planning mandates
