| Traffic evacuation simulation based on multi-level driving decision model. | Summary
This paper presents a traffic evacuation simulation system based on integrated multi-level driving-decision models which generate agents’ behavior in a united framework. The proposed integrated simulation system includes four key components: geospatial manager, agent manager, behavior manager, and mission manager. Together they provide the capability to simulate complex scenarios. |

| Examining the Role of Social Media in Effective Crisis Management: The Effects of Crisis Origin, Information Form, and Source on Publics’ Crisis Responses. | Summary
Experimentunderstand how publics produce, consume, and/or share crisis information via social media and other sources: the social-mediated crisis communication model (SMCC) |
| Does message placement influence risk perception and affect? | Summary
A recent body of research in crisis communications suggests that awareness and negative affect concerning a risk may be separate psychological constructs. These constructs may have independent and combined implications for crisis communication practitioners, in terms of message placement and audience responses. Making affected audiences aware of the nature of a risk, and coupling this awareness with an appropriate degree of negative affect, may be critical in motivating individuals to take action to protect themselves. |
