Recalling Resilient Actions During Emergency Response

  • Conference paper
Book cover Mobile Response (Mobile Response 2007)

Abstract

The analysis of emergency response actions usually concentrates on failures as a means to improve future procedures and emergency plans. In this paper we adopt a resilience approach that focuses on the analysis of successful actions. We use group storytelling to recall the actions performed by emergency teams during an incident. A method aimed at recognizing resilient actions is proposed and its application is illustrated in a real case.
