The Transition from
Daily Operations to Emergency Operations
Workflow Chaos
A Operational System must support the transition from
“Routine” to Emergency Operations.
The “Battle Rhythm” (pace) and Volume (scale) of activities
increase but the systems and processes remain the same.
Supporting a Enterprise Situational Awareness
and Management Program during Emergencies
In the USA. the National Incident Management System has provided a
framework for an organization at the field level.
While it mandates the interoperability of systems, it does not
define a standard.
Also, NIMS does not address how information is managed above
field level.
