Computer Simulation for Emergency Incident Management. Report of the Department of Homeland Security Incident Management Simulation Workshop, Washington, D.C., May 12-13, 2004

摘要

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Incident Management Simulation (IMS) Workshop was held on May 12, 2004 at the Westin Grand Hotel in Washington, DC. The workshop brought together senior representatives of the emergency response and incident management communities with modeling and simulation technologists from Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. The goals of the workshop were to provide an opportunity for incident responders to describe the nature and substance of the primary personnel roles in an incident response, to identify current and anticipated roles of modeling and simulation in support of incident response, and to begin a dialog between the incident response and simulation technology communities that will guide and inform planned modeling and simulation development for incident response.
