Fig. 1. Sample situation map of the practical exercise
crisis management team. In the picture you can see an example for “Lagekarte”
(Fig. 1). The table with the forces overview is related in this special scenario to
the role of S2 but normally it is the task of S1. It shows several damaged areas
and the type and positioning of the individual units in the disaster areas as well
as a part of the current weather situation graphically. In relation to the situation
it is also possible that the weather is outsourced to a special weather map. For
example in an scenario with multiple collisions the weather situation is not so
important whereas a scenario with a big storm front the weather plays a major
role and then the amount of information is too big for one map. The standard in
catastrophic management today is the real map due to the volatile security but
here are also to detect several tendencies for the usage computer-based of virtual
maps or complete rooms with wide screen displays controlled via cameras and
gestures [3]. For ecient work of a crisis management team, a rapid distribution
of those information to the individual departments is essential for the success of
the operation. It is therefore important that the map manager who holds in the
staff for crisis management the position of S2 [8] transfers incoming information
to the situation map as timely and properly as possible. To ensure this, it is
essential that the map manager does the work as perfectly as possible.
