Descriptive statistics using SAS were calculated for items on the demographic survey to provide a participant profile.Content (thematic) analysis

Analysis of objective legal environment – thematic analysis of transcribed interviewsCodes were analyzed using ATLAS.ti

A rigorously constructed simulation model of the system will have control variables and performance measures that may be used in constructing the storyline of the narrative and the breakdown into subunits. The use of explicit input variables, context variables and output variables as performance measures provides a metric for evaluation missing in less rigorous approaches to tabletop design.

Analysis framed by defining: effective emergency management as a person-environment fit process in which both person and environment. Thematic analysis of open ended responses [basic coding procedures].

Evaluation of usability of Workpad: test and compare WORKPAD user interface under controlled experimentconditions:pre-test in the second phase of the project: online questionnaire for online evaluation, 13 users Second Usability Testing with Real Prototype Using Cooperative Evaluation Methods: cooperative evaluation with the first real prototype in two parallel sessions with one user each of about one and half hour long, Each user performed several tasks with the different WORKPAD components, while they have been recorded audio and video, 4 users, usability testing with “external” users: 21 external users

The interviews were transcribed, edited, and qualitatively analyzed. Interactive model of analysis

Flood model. We use Dynamic Rapid Flood Spreading Model (DRFSM) for flood dynamics simulation. The model provides data on inundation dynamics in form of impact zones’ flooding.Demand model. Transport demand model gives the information on volumes of transportations between different areas in the city. Agent-based traffic model. Microscopic agent-based traffic model determines a vehicular traffic dynamics in urban areas and belongs to the class of time-stepped models.Dynamic road graph model. Flooding dynamics is translated to traffic model as a dynamical roads’ closing.
