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 contextsThe 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、部署和运营虚拟紧急行动中心（vEOC），主要用作研究工具，但也可用于培训和教育。vEOC名为Ensayo，将在角色和组织结构的背景下研究动态决策，个人和团体问题解决，组织学习，沟通，协调和知识管理，以实现跨机构的灾害管理。vEOC将使用开源和开放标准软件和工具以网络为基础实施。很少有实质性的研究已经进行了大规模的，紧急的管理结构。这些新兴结构的大小和复杂性提供了一个独特的见解，研究机制（成功和不太成功）的操作，提供了一个有效的基板，制定的vEOC的组件。我们的初步研究已经深入了解了vEOC在这方面以及其他EOC背景下可以发挥的作用Ensayo的基本目标是制作一种研究工具，尽管基于当地EOC的元素，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少数群体服务机构，其所在地是这项工作的主要背景对社会福祉很重要的地方？飓风和应急准备。Ensayo不仅为学术界提供了一个研究工具，而且为从事任何紧急行动事件的实践社区提供了教育、培训和政策分析的资源。
