The purpose of this paper is to present a training model for decision makers that covers the complexity which is inherent in decision-making processes in times of floods

The main pillars the interview revolved around were: (i) communication and information: understanding the main flow of communication between the different actors and the information they need to fulfill their missions and wherethey look for them; (ii) understanding interviewees’ experience about the use of ADIAM systems and expertise.

This study was conducted with the aim of enhancing thecurrent body of knowledge regarding emergency nurses anddisaster response. It was anticipated that the study wouldprovide a foundation for further research into determiningwhat type of disaster education and training would benefitemergency nurses.

The FP7 Theseus research project (2009–2013) aims to develop and assess innovative technologies and methodologies for coastal protection against erosion, flooding and environmental damages For extreme events, the implementation of non-structural measures as early warning systems and disaster management practices is required to ensure the protection of population.

This paper compares decision-making in a stable environment with decision-making following a shock event.

In this paper, the relations between emergency management and GIS-aided decision support system will be explained.In addition to this, some information will be given about (S)DSS structures, the role of SDSS in emergency management, and applications related to GIS-aided spatial decision support systems.

The research focused primarily on the patterns of information exchange and thedistribution of tasks adopted by healthcare teams.
