Impact of the distribution and enrichment of information on the management and coordination of a human-made fast-burning crisis

چکیده
Post hoc evaluations made of crisis situations and exercises often point at communication as an important reason for the failure of the management and coordination of the crisis. Crisis managers have to deal with the problem that they (and all other actors in the field) don’t have the right information to coordinate the efforts and solve the crisis situation. This paper examines the relation between the information available more specifically the richness of the information and the distribution of the information and the management and coordination of a typical man-made fast-burning crisis. The literature on decision making and situation awareness is reviewed and an experiment is conducted with 40 crisis managers in Belgium to assess the impact of the information. Initial results indicate a relationship between the ways a crisis team receives information and the achieved level of situation awareness, the difficulty of making decisions and the perceived complexity of the crisis.
