This proposed project will design, develop, deploy, and operate a virtual Emergency Operations Center (vEOC) for (1) primary use as a research instrument, but with (2) secondary use for training and education. The vEOC, named Ensayo, will enable research on dynamic decision-making, individual and group problem solving, organizational learning, communication, coordination, and knowledge management in the context of roles and organizational structures to enable cross-institutional management of disasters. The vEOC will be web-based implemented using open source and open standards software and tools. Little substantive research has been conducted on large scale, emergent management structures. The size and complexity of these emergent structures affords a unique insight into studying the mechanisms (both successful and less successful) of operation, providing a valid substrate to formulate the components of the vEOC. Our initial research has yielded insights into the role that a vEOC could play in this, and other EOC contexts The fundamental goal of Ensayo is to craft a research instrument that, although based on the elements of a local EOC, can be adapted to reflect a wide variety of EOC forms in order to support research, training and education. One of the collaborating institutions is minority serving, and located where the primary context for this work is important for the well-being of society ? hurricanes and emergency preparedness. Ensayo affords not only a research tool for academics, but also a resource for education, training and policy analysis for communities of practice who engage in any emergency operations event.

该拟议项目将设计、开发、部署和运营一个虚拟应急行动中心（vEOC），用于(1)主要用作研究工具，但(2)次要用于培训和教育。名为Ensayo的vEOC将在角色和组织结构的背景下研究动态决策、个人和群体问题解决、组织学习、沟通、协调和知识管理，从而实现灾害的跨机构管理。vEOC将基于网络，使用开源和开放标准软件和工具来实现。对大规模的、紧急的管理结构进行的实质性研究很少。这些紧急结构的大小和复杂性为研究运行机制（成功和不成功）提供了独特的见解，为制定vEOC的组件提供了有效的基础。enayo的基本目标是设计一种研究工具，虽然基于当地EOC的要素，但可以适应各种各样的EOC形式，以支持研究、培训和教育。其中一个合作机构是为少数民族服务的，并且这项工作的主要背景对社会福祉很重要。飓风和应急准备。Ensayo不仅为学者提供研究工具，而且为参与任何紧急行动事件的实践社区提供教育、培训和政策分析资源。
