Trial objectives

A simulation-based curriculum was developed. The curriculum included four group exercises in which the participants developed a disaster plan for a simulated hospital. This was followed by a disaster simulation using the Disastermed.Ca Emergency Disaster Simulator computer software Version 3.5.2

We describe a workshop that included a tabletop scenario exercise to familiarize a mix of graduate, undergraduate, and high school students with systems analysis and decision making during real-world events

Rank different scenarios of coal mine emergencies by survey participants.The survey asked respondents how they would respond to a given mine emergency scenario, to rank order the scenarios, and then to provide demographic information about themselves.

Summary development of all phases of emergency management from the early phases in which a threat is detected to years and decades after the accident, 25 years after the Chernobly event with focus on decision making and public response. Referencing many different studies.

By comparing a scenario without preparedness with one in which supplies have been pre-positioned in the country and one in which investments in disaster management capabilities (DMC) have been made, we demonstrate the strong improvement potential of disaster preparedness activities.

We explored this concept in a burns scenario in a novel, low-cost, high-fidelity, portable, immersive simulation environment (referred to as distributed simulation). This contextualized simulation/distributed simulation combination was named “The Burns Suite” (TBS)A pediatric burn resuscitation scenario was selected after high trainee demand.

event, and then use an MLSVM model to examine alternative response strategies to the simulated crisis as it unfolds.Objectives:validate the effectiveness of SVMs (support vector machines) as an automated generic IT–based decision support tool to model and improve the effectiveness of multi-organizational, collaborative decision making in high-magnitude crisis situationsexamine the anticipatory and explanatory effectiveness of a MLSVM (multistage linear SVM) algorithm that would effectively capture different patterns of behavior of decision makers in a multi-organizational setting
