  Title Testing the implementation of a flying localization system into emergency response using a tabletop exercise Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Urban search and rescue, unmanned aerial vehicle, command and control structures, tabletop exercise, emergency management  
  Abstract To optimize the search for trapped victims after building collapses, the authors participated in the development ofI a localization system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle. The objective of this study is to evaluate an approach to implement this system into the command and control structures during the emergency response after a building collapse. For this purpose, a tabletop exercise, based on a gas explosion scenario in an apartment building, was carried out with emergency response managers of the fire department and the German federal agency of technical relief. Observers have documented the exercise. Additionally, audio and video recordings were used. Thus, statements could be made about the implementation approach and the tabletop exercise method. Based on the results, the implementation approach can be considered appropriate. In addition, knowledge was gained about the appropriateness of tabletop exercises for the purpose of scientific evaluation.

  Title Data Acquisition for ad-hoc Evacuation Simulations of Public Buildings Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Evacuation of Public Buildings, Data Fusion, Data Aggregation, Crowd Simulation, Social Simulation  
  Abstract Crowd simulation is suitable to evaluate evacuation strategies but its validity strongly depends on the quality of input

data. The acquisition of adequate input data is particularly challenging when simulating the evacuation of public

buildings such as universities. As they are publicly accessible, the exact number of persons on site is unknown.

Yet, to investigate specific emergency situations by means of simulation, e.g. amok or fire, information is required

about distribution and amount of people within the building at a specific point of time. Due to data privacy, public

buildings do not implement access control. However, data artifacts are available in various information systems,

e.g., wifi data, room administration. Our hypothesis is, that the acquisition and fusion of such data artifacts is

sufficient to enable data-based ad-hoc simulation of evacuation scenarios as decision support for the operations

management. To this end, we introduce a procedure for the situation-dependent collection fusion of simulation

input data. Furthermore, a case study is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.

  Title Anonymizing Cybersecurity Data in Critical Infrastructures: The CIPSEC Approach Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords privacy, critical infrastructures, data anonymization, CIPSEC, security logs  
  Abstract Cybersecurity logs are permanently generated by network devices to describe security incidents. With modern

computing technology, such logs can be exploited to counter threats in real time or before they gain a foothold.

To improve these capabilities, logs are usually shared with external entities. However, since cybersecurity logs

might contain sensitive data, serious privacy concerns arise, even more when critical infrastructures (CI), handling

strategic data, are involved.

We propose a tool to protect privacy by anonymizing sensitive data included in cybersecurity logs. We implement

anonymization mechanisms grouped through the definition of a privacy policy. We adapt said approach to the

context of the EU project CIPSEC that builds a unified security framework to orchestrate security products, thus

offering better protection to a group of CIs. Since this framework collects and processes security-related data from

multiple devices of CIs, our work is devoted to protecting privacy by integrating our anonymization approach.

  Abstract In this paper, we investigate how social media can be utilised to support the integration of emergency medical services (EMS) and crisis management activities. We explore the literature both on social media in crisis management and on EMS logistics to elaborate on their potential to support EMS logistics planning based on the experiences from crisis management. We then discuss how social media data can be used for tactical and strategic decision-making using location data to improve demand forecasting and planning for both routine emergencies and crises.

  Title Trends in Humanitarian Health Information during 2010 Haiti Earthquake: Motivation for Curating Domain Knowledge Base Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords information management, health information, knowledge bases, curation  
  Abstract Health response plays a major role during disasters and information management plays a crucial role in situational awareness to adapt to evolving needs. Health organizations exchange information often through narrative-based documents called situation reports. Although situation reports are widely shared, they are an increasingly challenging information source from which to infer knowledge for situational awareness. This paper analyzed health information from traditional health reports using mixed methods during the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake and provides insights into the patterns of what?s being said, how it?s being said, and trends over time. Opportunities lie ahead to analyze narrative documents at scale by combining human knowledge from qualitative coding with machine intelligence. In addition, developing unifying health domain ontologies representing diverse humanitarian health concepts will advance computational techniques to improve

the efficiency and accuracy of retrieving knowledge for improved situational awareness and potential decision

making during humanitarian health response.

  Title Analysis of Common Operational Picture and Situational Awareness during Multiple Emergency Response Scenarios Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Full-scale drill, elicitation methods, situational awareness, common operational picture, information needs.  
  Abstract Disaster response operations require communication and coordination between agencies that seldom occurs in everyday workday situations. Furthermore, in such hybrid environments it is necessary to establish a common operational picture for the responders involved to support collaborative decision-making. The emergency responders must gain situational awareness, and this can further affect the quality of how they deal with the situation. Training in emergency situations is shown to be efficient for learning. In order to understand the complexity of working in unpredictable environments, an analysis of an audio-log from a large-scale drill was carried out. Moreover, this paper provides a definition of several categories for identifying the processes to establish situational awareness and a common operational picture among emergency responders. The analysis process revealed how the actors communicate and revealed an overall communication pattern.

  Title Cascading Threats in Critical Infrastructures with Control Systems Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Cascading failures, industrial control systems, critical infrastructures, hybrid situational awareness  
  Abstract Critical infrastructures (CIs) increase in complexity due to numerous dependencies on other CIs but also due to the ongoing digitalization in the industry sector. This yields an increased risk of failure of a single CI as the overall systems gets very fragile and sensitive to errors Failure of a single component may affect large parts of an infrastructure due to cascading effects. One way to support functionality of a CI is the use of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) that allow monitoring remote sites and controlling processes. However, this is an additional source for threats as recent cyber-attacks have shown. Further, the additional information for such cyber systems is often not efficiently combined with existing information on the physical infrastructure. We here propose a method to combine these two sources of information in order to estimate the impact of a security incident on CIs, taking into account cascading effects of threats. An implementation of the model allows simulation of the dynamics inside a CI and yields a record of the status of each asset of the CI. The way the assets change their states illustrates the consequences of an incident on the entire CI. Visualization of the results provides an overview on the situation of the entire CI at a certain point of time and a sequence of such visualization over an entire period of time illustrates the changes over time. The results from this analysis may be used to support security officers in analyzing the current (hybrid) state of their CI in case of an incident and thus increase the hybrid situational awareness.

  Title Reliability of expert estimates of cascading failures in Critical Infrastructure Type Conference Article

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Expert assessment; Desktop exercise; Tabletop exercise; Modeling and simulation; Dynamic complexity  
  Abstract Owing to the complexity of Critical Infrastructures and the richness of issues to analyze, numerous approaches are used to model the behavior of CIs. Organizations having homeland security as mission often conduct desktop-based simulations using judgmental assessment of CI interdependencies and cascading failures. Expert estimates concern direct effects between the originally disrupted CI sector and other sectors. To better understand the magnitude of aggregate cascading effects, we developed a system dynamics model that uses expert estimates of cascading failures to compare the aggregate effect of cascading failures with the primary direct cascading failures. We find that the aggregate effect of compounded cascading failures becomes significantly greater than the primary cascading failures the longer the duration of the original disruption becomes. Our conceptually simple system dynamics model could be used to improve desktop-based exercises, since it illustrates consequences that go beyond judgmental assessment.

  Title Evaluating the effects of consecutive hurricane hits on evacuation patterns in Dominica Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Agent-based modelling, evacuation simulation, multi-event scenario, NetLogo, OpenStreetMap  
  Abstract The Caribbean island of Dominica is at constant risk of being hit by tropical storms during the hurricane season.

Therefore, Dominica and areas in similar situations need to raise their resilience to natural hazards. The potential

consequences of climate change intensify this risk. After a hurricane hit, repair of damage to buildings and

infrastructure can take several months. As hurricane frequency is increasing and time between hurricanes

fluctuates, modeling sequences of hurricane events can help to determine different evacuation strategies. This

paper introduces an agent-based model, simulating two hurricane events in one season. The prototype simulates

the movement of evacuees over a road network and damage to buildings and infrastructure. Initial results show

marked differences between road movements of evacuees during a second evacuation. Although shifts in the

average shelter occupation are small (up to 2%) for our case study, this can indicate that adjustments to shelter

capacities are necessary.

  Title Predicting Hurricane Damage Using Social Media Posts Coupled with Physical and Socio-Economic Variables Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Social media, disaster management, damage prediction  
  Abstract During a natural disaster or emergency event, individual social media posts or hot spots may not necessarily correlate

to the most devastated areas. To better understand the correlation between social media and physical damage, we

compare Tweets, data about the physical environment, and socio-economic factors with insurance claim information

(as a proxy for physical damage) from 2017 Hurricane Irma in the state of Florida. We use machine learning

to identify relevant Tweets, sensitivity analyses to identify socio-economic factors, and statistical regression to

determine the predictive capability of insurance claims as a proxy for damage. We find that Tweets alone result in a

poorly fitted regression model of insurance claims, but the inclusion of physical features (e.g., power outages, wind

level) and socio-economic factors (e.g., population density, education, Internet access) improves the model?s fit.

Such models contribute to the knowledge base that may allow social media to predict damage in real-time.

  Title The reciprocity of data integration in disaster risk analysis Type Conference Article

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Reciprocity, Resilience, Disaster risk analysis, Community engagement, Organizational effectiveness, Data integration  
  Abstract Humanitarian organizations are increasingly challenged by the amount of data available to drive their decisions. Useful data can come from many sources, exists in different formats, and merging it into a basis for analysis and planning often exceeds organizations? capacities and resources. At the same time, affected communities? participation in decision making processes is often hindered by a lack of information and data literacy capacities within the communities. We describe a participatory disaster risk analysis project in the central Philippines where the community and a humanitarian NGO worked towards a joint understanding of disaster risks and coping capacities through data integration and IT-supported analysis. We present findings from workshops, focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, showing the reciprocal effects of the collaborative work. While the community valued the systematically gathered and structured evidence that supported their own risk perceptions and advocacy efforts, the humanitarian NGO revisited established work practices for data collection for analysis and planning.

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Crisis management, traces, response plan, clustering, process mining.  
  Abstract To deal with a crisis situation, experts must undertake a chain of activities, called process, to minimize crisis

consequences. To assist the expert in making decision in crisis resolutions, authors propose a method aiming at

discovering crisis response processes. This method is based on a two-step strategy: the first step classifies the

system?s traces, representing stakeholders? past actions, into different sets, where each one represents a set of

response processes according to a specific context; the second step uses process mining algorithm to discover

the corresponding response plan process model based on the obtained chain of activities for each previously

classified context. These response plans will be a referenced aid for experts while making crisis resolution,

according to each context. The proposed approach is illustrated on the traces issued from the crisis caused by the

2010 Xynthia storm in France.

  Title Visualizing Early Warning Signs of Behavioral Crisis in Military Veterans: Empowering Peer Decision Support Type Conference Article

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords crisis, mental health, visualization, veterans, clinical decision  
  Abstract Several attempts have been made at creating mobile solutions for patients with mental disorders. A preemptive approach would definitely outdo a reactive one. This project seeks to ensure better crisis detection, by assigning patients (veterans) to caregivers (mentors). This is called the mentor-mentee approach. Enhanced with the use of mobile technology, veterans can stay connected in their daily lives to mentors, who have gone through the same traumatic experiences and have overcome them. A mobile application for communication between veterans and their mentors has been developed, which helps mentors get constant feedback from their mentees about their state of well-being. However, being able to make good deductions from the data given as feedback is of great importance. Under-represent ing or over-representing the data could be dangerously misleading. This paper presents the design process in this project and the key things to note when designing a data visualization for

timely crisis detection and decision-making.

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords usability inquiry, mobile application, disasters, alerts, public perspective  
  Abstract Limited research has studied how citizens? perspectives as end-users can contribute to improving the usability of disaster apps. This study addresses this gap by exploring end-user insights with the use of a conceptual disaster app in the New Zealand (NZ) context. NZ has multiple public alerting authorities that have various technological options in delivering information to the population?s mobile devices; including social media platforms, apps, as well as the Emergency Mobile Alert system. However, during critical events, the multiplicity of information may become overwhelming. A disaster app, conceptualised in the NZ context, aims to aggregate, organise, and deliver information from official sources to the public. After the initial conceptual design, a usability inquiry was administered by interviewing members of the public. Partial results of the inquiry show that the public?s perspective has value; in the process of understanding the new user?s viewpoint, usability highlights and issues are identified.

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords large earthquake; hydrant; water outage; fire-spread; firefighter  
  Abstract Since large earthquakes can disrupt water supply networks, it is essential to gain an understanding of the expected

usability of fire hydrants in post-quake firefighting activities. In this study, data about water supply networks was

collected and a water outage simulation model was constructed in order to predict the likelihood that individual

fire hydrants would become unusable in the wake of a large earthquake. The water outage simulation model was

integrated with a previously developed urban zone damage simulation and a fire department activity simulation

in order to carry out a simulation-based analysis of the 23 wards of Tokyo, after which a quantitative analysis of

the relation-ship between use of fire hydrants and the number of buildings lost to fire was performed. This analysis

revealed the benefits of hardening water lines against earthquakes, fire hydrant usage variations depending on

locality, and the benefits of using water pressure sensors to identify usable fire hydrants.

disaster management of ?Colectiv 2015?, one of the worst manmade disasters in the recent Romanian history.

After four years of investigations and reports and many recovery measures ?Colectiv 2015? is still a complex

problem that needs external evaluation. The second part of the paper is a two-tier research: an intermediary

analysis of the wicked problem, using Barry Turner?s framework and a design of a foresight exercise. In the

Conclusions of WiPe we propose a design of research meant to: 1) better understand the causes and

shortcomings of disaster management and failure of foresight and 2) help the Emergency System in Romania

build a disaster resilience mechanism.

  Title Do's and Don'ts in Inter-Organizational Crisis Management Exercises Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Inter-organizational, exercise, learning, crisis management, collaboration  
  Abstract It is commonly assumed that conducting exercises will contribute to better crisis management. However, the exact mechanisms of cause and effect are hard to isolate empirically. The objective of this paper is to compile and analyze the recommendations in the literature on inter-organizational exercises and learning. While not claiming to meet the strict scientific demand of empirical validation and general applicability, the compilation may nevertheless provide some guidance from research to practitioners. Forty-four papers about learning in interorganizational exercises were analyzed. Out of the analyzed papers, 28 discussed obstacles or success factors.

However, the recommendations applicable in one setting are not automatically valid in others, and some are even contradictory. The recommendations have therefore been categorized according to two criteria; when in the exercise cycle and for whom they apply. Several recommendations concern individual learning, but maximizing individual learning can sometimes hamper learning on the organizational level.

  Title A Modular Ontology for Semantically Enhanced Interoperability in Operational Disaster Response Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Semantic interoperability, modular ontology, upper-level ontology, mid-level ontology, disaster response  
  Abstract Up to now, the world has witnessed how inadequate communication capabilities can adversely affect disaster response efforts. There are various Emergency Responders (ERs) that potentially must work together towards a successful resolution of the disaster. However, the different terminologies and technical vocabularies that are being exchanged between the ERs may lead to a misunderstanding and lack of semantic integrity. Yet, understanding the semantics of the exchanged data is one of the major challenges. The purpose of this work is to define the complex knowledge of the ERs by proposing a common and modular ontology shared by all the stakeholders so as to come up with a common shared vocabulary in order to ensure semantic interoperability between ERs. In this paper, we present POLARISCO and we discuss how it was developed using Basic Formal Ontology as an upper-level ontology and Common Core Ontology as a mid-level ontology to define each module.

  Title Communication in Emergency Management through Data Integration and Trust: an introduction to the CEM-DIT system Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords provenance, data matching, data integration, semantic web systems, decision support  
  Abstract This paper discusses the development of the CEM-DIT (Communication in Emergency Management through Data

Integration and Trust) system, which allows decision makers in crises to send out automated data requests to multiple

heterogeneous and potentially unknown sources and interactively determine how reliable, relevant and trustworthy

the responses are. We describe the underlying technology, which is based partially on data integration and matching,

and partly on utilisation of provenance data. We describe our cooperation with the Urban Observatory (UO), which

allows us to develop the system in collaboration with developers of the kind of crisis-relevant data which the system

is designed for. The system is currently in development, and we describe which parts are fully implemented and

which are currently being developed.

  Title Designing Disaster Information Management Systems 2.0: Connecting communities and responders Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Information Systems, Community Engagement, Participatory Systems, Systems Design, Inclusive Systems  
  Abstract Information and supporting information systems is a key element in an effective emergency response. From

creating situational awareness to informed decision making, information enables responders to optimize their

decisions and operations. Today, with the increased availability of information technology around the globe, a

new active player in the field of information management is emerging as communities are becoming increasingly

active in the field of information gathering, analyzing and sharing.

However, communities may have specific requirements and approaches to using information systems in crisis

situations. Moreover, connecting information systems between communities and responder pose specific

challenges due to the different information needs, capacities and incentives to use them. In this paper we build on

the DERMIS premises and explore through a case study if and how these principles apply to inclusive information

systems. We present the initial findings of this work of designing information systems involving both communities

and formal responders.

  Title Simulation of Crowd Response During Emergency Considering People's Rational and Irrational Thinking Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Crowd response, simulation, emergency, herd effect.  
  Abstract Human beings have been facing numerous emergencies which could threaten their property or even their lives in all ages. In order to learn how people respond to the emergencies like earthquakes and fire disasters, a two-stage simulation considering people?s rational thinking and irrational thinking was conducted. Results show that people?s irrational thinking, like the herd effect, could exaggerate people?s behavior of conformity, and it changes the spatial features that stronger herd effect leads to higher cohesion level. It is also worth mentioning that crowd response of condition of smaller population is harder to predict because of its instability, and the response of the very first part of people who make decisions could make great changes to the whole crowd?s response. These results could give some enlightenment on the evacuation instruction during emergencies and future research works.

  Title A Preliminary Optimisation-based Approach to Coordinate the Response of Ambulances in Mass Casualty Incidents Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords MCIs, Optimization-based approach, Co-ordination, Emergency response.  
  Abstract Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs) may occur with no notice and require a rapid response to manage the casualties and arrange their transportation to hospitals. MCIs may result in different numbers of casualties and fatalities. Further, response time can play a crucial role in reducing fatalities and protecting lives. This paper reports on a preliminary optimisation-based approach, termed MCIER, which has been developed to co-ordinate the response of ambulances to multiple MCIs. In this approach, a realistic representation of the road network is modelled for the geographical area of interest. Also, a Neighbourhood Search Algorithm (NSA) has been developed in order to find the optimum solution to the problem under consideration. A hypothetical case study of a MCI in Newcastle-upon-Tyne has been considered to investigate the effect on response time of the time of day, and day of week, on which the incident occurs.

  Title Design to Fit – Morphological Analysis as a Tool for Exercise Design Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Exercise design, morphological analysis, crisis management  
  Abstract Exercises are considered as vital to develop and sustain crisis management capabilities. An exercise may have a role both as a provider of knowledge about the crisis management system, and its performance, and as a driver of change through training of individuals, groups and organizations. However, the relationship between the design and characteristics of a specific exercise, and the usability of its results in the development of the crisis management system is not well-understood. The objective of this paper is to explore if a morphological field can be used to investigate this relationship. Such a field was designed and evaluated. Even though this field was relatively simple, it was concluded that it provides results that deepen the understanding of how different types of exercises can contribute to the development of the crisis management system.
