“…The discussed approaches and design process confirmed the need for thorough understanding of the response process and the team's working environment, through a user centered design (M. Endsley & Jones, 2011) and ecological design process (Hueston, 2012). These processes are a successful tool for understanding the requirements and the challenges often encountered during the emergency response and the maintenance of situation awareness within it.…”

“…The establishment and maintenance of situational awareness (SA) is an essential requirement for successful crisis and emergency management (MacEachren et al, 2011). The maintenance of SA requires the proper collection of complete and accurate information about the situation in an accessible and timely manner as well as the proper analysis and interpretation of the different factors and overall situation (Hueston, 2012).…”

“…Technological advances have allowed for richer and more detailed information collection. However in many cases this information is spread among different sources and requires proper collection and interpretation from operators (Hueston, 2012). Many researchers, from fields of cognitive psychology to information engineering, are therefore interested in understanding and enhancing the SA process.…”

“…This approach therefore requires a close examination of the environment prior in addition to the users and their needs. This includes understanding the problems and tasks to be performed by the users, as well as all the information they require control over (Hueston, 2012). Moreover representing the connection between operators and the environment can facilitate situation awareness and reduce the possibility for errors in a complex emergency response environment.…”

All the information categories were noted from the informative study and the process analysis and then categorized into information categories based on the operators' feedback as well as previous studies (Hueston, 2012). The information categories were attributed to the response process stages and additionally the sources of the information were noted in the diagram.…”

The management of an emergency response process, like forest fire response, requires a high level of complex coordination, efficient communication and effective situation awareness within the team. Critical response decisions are based on a timely and effective collection and processing of large amounts of constantly changing information.This research focuses on improving the data collection process during fire response operations. Efficient and comprehensive information input and accessibility can enhance the team's awareness about the fire situation.Through a user-centered design approach, and the application of previously studied design approaches and principles, a design that facilitates the data input process is proposed. The design consists of an office and a mobile interface, which should be used in the headquarters and by the crew leaders on the field respectively to support information input, communication and distribution.The user evaluation showed that the proposed design is effective for improving the data collection process and supporting the operators' required situation awareness during an incident response.

Wild fire management is often an intense and highly dynamic context, which requires the continuous flow of large amounts of information. It requires effective preparedness, quick response, and efficient and effective team communication and situational awareness. Aside from the skills and experience of the management team, the success of the process often depends on effective tools and technology that can present, communicate, and document the fire information in a way that supports and facilitates the response process. The aim of this study was to assess the informational needs of the wild fire response process and model the information flow and situational awareness, with and without supporting technology. It aimed to translate the findings to definitions and requirements for enhancing the process through human-computer interaction (HCI) design solutions and improved usability.

The objective of the team display is to present a current and dynamic situation picture to the healthcare team. The challenges in designing such a display are determining the relevant situational information and presenting it in a way that is timely, unobtrusive, and not overloading. The tips here focus on designing situation displays for healthcare teams during a clinical procedure (such as a surgery or a procedure in the emergency unit). These tips are based on the experience of designing two healthcare team situation displays, one for the cardiac OR team and the other for the ED/Resuscitation bay team, as well knowledge transferred from forest fire incident management.
