Investigating real-life disasters and crises has been challenging due to accompanying difficulties and risks posed by these complex phenomena. Previous research in the emergency management domain has largely relied on qualitative approaches to describe the event after it occurred. To facilitate investigations for more generalizable findings, this paper documents ongoing efforts to design an emergency management simulation testbed called Team Emergency Operations Simulation (TEOS) in which an incident management team (IMT) is situated. First, we describe the design process based on our previous work. Next, we present the overall description of TEOS including representative roles, tasks, and team environments. We also propose measures of team performance of the IMT and propose future research that can be realized through TEOS.

This article presents a summary of incident management guidelines for traumatically injured teeth during orthodontic treatment. In addition, treatment of a 17-year-old patient with traumatic extrusion and palatal displacement of the permanent maxillary incisors while undergoing active orthodontic treatment is reported.

ABSTRACT In January 2000, the ad hoc Alaska Statewide Oil and Hazardous Substance Incident Management System workgroup submitted standardized spill response management guidelines (Alaska Incident Management System, AIMS #1) to the Alaska Regional Response Team (ARRT) for their review, use, and feedback. These guidelines are a landmark step in response management systems because they merge the concepts of the National Contingency Plan (NCP#2) with NIIMS #3, received acceptance by both government and industry users in Alaska, have been customized to meet Alaska's unique needs, are consistent with the latest update being prepared by the States/British Columbia Task Force FOG #4 update workgroup, and will yield substantial savings to all users by providing guidelines for adoption and maintenance of a single system for the Alaska spill response community.

While resilience in emergency management has been studied at the macro- (government) and micro-levels (individual field responder), little is known for resilience of incident management teams (IMTs). To investigate challenges and resilience factors of IMTs, this paper documents thematic analysis of 10 interviews with emergency personnel who responded to Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Themes emerged in four categories: goals, challenges, resilience factors, and technical tools of IMTs. Given similar goals but unique challenges during Harvey, IMTs sought to establish and maintain a common operating picture to make sense of evolving situations and make decisions adaptively. Various technical tools were used providing different functionalities, but a need for technology to reduce cognitive load was indicated. Findings of this study will inform the development of more resilient IMTs in future disasters.
