Ed Parsons: Geospatial Technologist of Google, with responsibility for evangelising Google’s mission to organise the world’s information using geography, and tools including Google Earth, Google Maps and Google Maps for Mobile. In his role he also maintains links with Universities, Research and Standards Organisations which are involved in the development of Geospatial Technology |
Google Crisis Response: getting people through the storm…
During the last week of October, superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and the East Coast of the United States, causing extensive flooding, damage and power outages. Google responded by providing critical preparedness information in the form of a crisis map – this is the story of that map!
| Mark Neerincx: Extensive experience in fundamental and applied research on human-computer interaction for defense, security and health. Important achievements: cognitive task load model for task allocation and adaptive interfaces, models of human-machine partnership for attuning assistance to the individual user and momentary usage context, cognitive engineering methods and tools, and a diverse set of usability “best practices”. |
Collaborative Technology for Disaster Management
The the current means insufficiently help to share information and insights on (1) the states of the resources and environment, (2) the intentions and conditions of the persons in the disaster area, and (3) the work plan and progress. This keynote will give an overview of a situation cognitive engineering methodology aiming at the incremental development and validation of a requirements baseline for collaborative technology (with its design rationale) and its instantiation in several prototypes.

Jaap Smit: Graduate of the Rijksbrandweeracademie, 5 years at the District inspection of Ministry of Home Affairs, 6 years experience at the Dutch Institute of Physical Safety, 15 years in the Safety Region IJsselland, participated in the realisation of a national Crisis Management System. Currently he is the Information Manager Geo, with the operational function of Information Manager in the Regional Operational Team. |
Situational Awareness and Crisis Management Systems
In the 1980s, disaster management became a task for the emergency services in the Netherlands. The services copied the existing methods of using a hand-written ‘Situation Report’ for text and a ‘Situation Plot’ on a paper map. Much has been changes since then. Situational Awareness is now seen composed of several levels: 1) perception or observation, 2) comprehension or understanding and 3) forecasting future situations …
