该设计小说重新构想了洪水预警系统的重要信息元素，以解开社会对灾难做出的一些可疑假设。在提出替代系统的更新的、具有讽刺意味的愿景时，我们强调了一些接受关于灾难根源、谁负责公共安全以及私营部门创新的作用的想法的方式，这些方式深深地嵌入到危机管理中使用的技术的设计中，以至于它们已被视为理所当然。这项工作展示了设计虚构作为评估和批评安全关键信息系统的工具以及作为传达灾难研究复杂结果的沟通工具的潜力。它还指出了公共预警系统危机信息学工作的探索新途径。
This design fiction re-imagines an important informational element of the flood early warning system in order to unpack some of the questionable assumptions that society makes about disaster. In presenting an updated, ironic, vision of an alternative system, we highlight some of the ways that received ideas about the root causes of disaster, who is responsible for public safety, and the role of private sector innovation, are so embedded in the design of technologies used in crisis management that they have become taken for granted. This work demonstrates the potential for design fiction to serve as a tool in the evaluation and critique of safety-critical information systems and as a communication tool for conveying the complex findings of disaster research. It also points to new avenues of exploration for crisis informatics work on public warning systems.
