Trial objectives

Experiments were conducted on a test set that consisted of at most six players, each player requesting a maximum of 60 resource units with a total system-wide requirement of at most 150 resource units. The number of resource centerswas varied from 3 to 17 and the values of other parameters were randomly generated.

Hypothetical scenarios were referred (i.e. decisions were hypothesized to be made in an imaginary emergency exit occurring at the same building which the participant had just left (in a normal situation)In the field, similar scenarios were then replicated in a more realistic fashion by conducting a number of mock (i.e. simulated) evacuation trials in an artificially-built model of (the floor level of) the same building depicted in the abovementioned pictures.

Present the Emergency Landing Technologies (ELP) interface and output in a series of vignette-based scenarios to examine the role of transparency on trustamong commercial pilots.

The SimMan 3G (Norway, Laerdal) was used for the entire study. The participants were expected to properly and effectively manage the crises by utilizing CRM principles.

survey method to collect data from 354 individuals from an organization that filed for bankruptcy.

Survey used to explore the perception of Jordanian RNs about their preparedness for disaster management.

Case Study to illustrate how virtual environments can be used for crisis management training.Show how new developments in information technology and communications can be used to create more realistic situations and lead to new tools for educating crisis managers to respond to and manage crises.

Two MAS case studies considered:Crisis-management: poisonous material has been released in a city affecting part of its population. State of emergency declared.small MAS supports emergency servicesCases related to: coordinating citizens, warning citizens of affected locations, keeping emergency services informed( “test-bed” for developing the approach and definition of its componentsMAS to buy cinema ticketsComplex MAS (several classes of agents and roles)Cases related to: making plans, buying tickets, and buying extras.( validates the scalability of the approach (complex MAS).

Case study (Goal of the emergency response management is to evacuate the victims as quick as possible with respect to their treatment needs.Geographical information and knowledge of the Networked Safe Service System is given. Traffic and transportation systems at the time of the disaster are given.In total, there are about 1500 victims who need to be evacuated through the city transportation system, among which 500 victims need be sent to the hospitals for treatment in different degrees, and 1000 victims need be sent to safe places.Each service system has a limited capacity and limited resource, which are given.Three hospitals in the city can share information and resources.Each hospital works at its capacity and can increase its capacity by 10% within 1 h.

To demonstrate how inclusion of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention´s Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) as a tool in Public Health Preparedness Capabilities: National Standards for State and Local Planning can increase public health capacity for emergency response
