Note 1 to entry: Exercises can be used for validating policies, plans, procedures, training , equipment, and inter-organizational agreements; clarifying and training personnel in roles and responsibilities; improving inter­organizational coordination and communications; identifying gaps in resources; improving individual performance and identifying opportunities for improvement; and a controlled opportunity to practise improvisation.

Literature searches were conducted to identify evidence to answer the key questions in these areas. Given a lack of data on which to develop evidence based recommendations, expert-opinion suggestions were developed, and consensus was achieved using a modified Delphi process.

Engagement of participants through participatory design:1-hour interviews focused on area managers, who play a key role in decision-making during routine and

operations (over a 4-month period)Guide for semi-structured interviews was:Based on prior field work at the study settingAnalysis of continuity of operations planning (COOP)Documents from the local health jurisdictionSystematic review of literature covering public health, information technology, and COOP.

The study used a quantitative experimental method with a withingroup design, in which participants' self-efficacy was measured using questionnaires before and after partaking in three simulated surge capacity scenarios. An a priori power analysis indicated a minimum participant sample of 12 to detect a large effect

Planning of the simulation:During the simulation, the dynamic attribute values are updated at each process stage as described belowThe Perception Module updates four attributes such as:•

cues, such as smoke and alarm, that are visible or audible to the agent.• Visible floor objects, such as doors and signs, that are visible to the agent.• Visible group members that are visible to the agent.• Neighboring agents that are visible to and are located within a certain radius from the agentThe Interpretation Module maps the current knowledge of the agent into a set of internal thresholds that describe the urge and well-being of the agent.The decision-making module invokes the decision tree modeling the behavior assigned to the agent. Given the agent’s characteristics and the invoked decision tree, it looks up the agent’s behavior and determines the long- term navigation goal, such as the familiar exit of the agent or the location of the group leader, and the intermediate navigation point given the agent’s knowledge and location.The Locomotion Module calculates the agent’s movement toward the navigation target and returns the updated spatial position of the agents, which areCartesian coordinates (x, y, and z) in the continuous space.The Memory Module registers the decision made during the simulation cycle and updates the spatial knowledge. The spatial knowledge is an array storing the navigation points that the agents have visited. The agents remembered the traveled navigation points and can later refer to the spatial knowledge to avoid backtracking.
