Abstract:
This thesis is an explorative study of resilience in emergency management, including different actors’ experiences with, and expectations to, interaction by use of collaboration technology in situations of emergency. The study is comprised of interviews with important actors within the Norwegian petroleum industry, i.e. operators, contractors, authorities, and other relevant informants. Further, a literature review is presented upon the theme trust among distributed actors. The findings in this study show that there is a small degree of IO (Integrated Operations) concepts between the diff

Abstract:
Over a decade ago, there was no standardised method for information sharing during emergency situations. Governments, first responders, and emergency practitioners often had to rely on what little technology that was available to them. This situation slowed down communications, putting entire recovery operations, and lives at stake. The Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) is the umbrella standard for several emergency communication standards that are being developed to address this issue. The Semantic Web is slowly, but steadily becoming a natural extension of the present-day Web. Thanks t

Abstract:
The risks associated with disasters can be significantly reduced if individuals are well prepared according to the orders and recommendations of emergency management authorities such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and local government. Despite this fact, there is evidence that individuals are not cooperative with these authorities and are therefore underprepared for an emergency. This article argues that individual trust in emergency management authorities may affect their cooperation with emergency preparedness recommendations. Using unique survey data, this study finds a n
