How Simple Hypothetical-Choice Experiments Can Be Utilized to Learn Humans’ Navigational Escape Decisions in Emergencies.

We conduct hypothetical emergency exit-choice experiments framed as simplepictures, and then mimic those hypothetical scenarios in more realistic fashions through staging mock evacuation trials with actual crowdsParticipants were invited to a survey in which they were introduced to 14 hypothetical exit-choice scenarios.And Participants were instructed to wait at the initial position of the evacuation room (See S2 Fig) and upon the start of each run, they were asked to enter the model building compete with others to escape from the room as quickly as possible assuming that they were running away from an acute threat

Identifying and explicating knowledge on method transfer: a sectoral system of innovation approach.

Two case studies are described where heuristics evaluation and user testing were applied on simulation software that allows training for crisis management.- 14 tasks were designed to make up a realistic scenario

Impact of an Education Intervention on Missouri K-12 School Disaster and Biological Event Preparedness.

We used a pre- and postintervention methodology to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on school emergency management plans at the start and end of the 2013-2014 school year. Missouri Association of School Nurses members were e-mailed a link to an online survey in the fall of 2013 (ie, preintervention), sent links to online education modules (ie, intervention) in late fall, 2013, and e-mailed a link to a second online survey in spring of 2014 (ie, postintervention). The online surveys were administered through Qualtrics® (an online survey platform). Follow-up recruitment e-mails were distributed 2 and 4weeks after each initial e-mail to maximize response rates. Nurses were told that completion of the online survey(s) and/or intervention implied consent to participate in the study.

Improving Communication in Crisis Management by Evaluating the Relevance of Messages.

The system is tested on data recorded at a fire fighting disaster management exercise and found to be accurate enough to be usefulTo evaluate TAID we used data from two operational disaster management exercises. The Commando Plaats Incident (CoPI) exercises were aimed primarily at on-scene commanders

Increasing emergency medicine residents' confidence in disaster management: use of an emergency department simulator and an expedited curriculum.

Disaster simulation using the Disastermed.Ca Emergency DisasterSimulator computer software Version 3.5.2 (Disastermed.Ca, Edmonton, Alberta,Canada)Curriculum design was centered around published guidelines for Canadian medical schools25 participants

Influencing Factors on Social Media Adoption in County-level Emergency Management Departments.

seven emergency management directors, along with numerous staff members participated in this research through extensive face-to face informant interviews

Interactive plant simulation modeling for developing an operator training system in a natural gas pressure-regulating station.

Through the planned simulation linking structure, the model leads trainees to actively analyze process variable trends based on the simulation results and take proper actions with their own decisions to stabilize the variables or minimize operational losses. No deviations were reported by the authors.

Interoperable architecture for joint real/virtual training in emergency management using the MPEG-V standard.

Interprofessional non-technical skills for surgeons in disaster response: A qualitative study of the Australian perspective.

Prioritize a diverse professional participant pool in sampling to reflect the variety of health disciplines represented in disaster response.Health professionals were divided into four broad professional categories.

Interprofessional team dynamics and information flow management in emergency departments.

During the preliminary phase, we implemented five semistructured individual interviews with the quality control manager, the head nurses and the heads of the EDs. Then we held a meeting with all of them to jointly define the main aspects of the research design and to establish the unit of analysis, the times and modes of the observation and the communication strategy.

eu Portfolio of Solutions web site has been initially developed in the scope of DRIVER+ project. Today, the service is managed by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH., for the benefit of the European Crisis Management. PoS is endorsed and supported by the Disaster Competence Network Austria (DCNA) as well as by the STAMINA and TeamAware H2020 projects.
